Situation
Tambre House is situated in the picturesque conservation village of Ketton. The village has its own post office, primary school and local shop. There are also two public houses. Ketton lies within three miles of the A1, giving convenient access to the wider road network north and south.
More extensive facilities are available in the historic market town of Stamford which also offers a train service to Peterborough, Oakham, Melton Mowbray, Leicester, Birmingham & Norwich. The Cathedral City of Peterborough offers a main line rail service to London Kings Cross from around 50 minutes.
Recreational facilities in the area are many and varied with Rutland Water set to the north between Uppingham and Oakham, providing sailing, windsurfing, fishing, scenic walks and cycle rides. Golf is available at Luffenham Heath and Greetham Valley golf clubs.
There is a wide range of schooling within easy reach of the village including independent schools in Uppingham, Oakham, Stamford and Oundle with a healthy mix of both state and private schooling options available.
Description
Tambre House is accessed via a long gravel driveway which meanders through mature trees and shrubbery, past impressive neighboring properties and away from the Stamford to Ketton Road. Gated access opens out into a vast gravel area with ample space for parking to the front of the house. Although located on Ketton’s High Street, the property is perfectly hidden creating a very private and secluded atmosphere.
On arrival, the elevated driveway provides an impressive view of Tambre House, built of slate and stone in 2010. Approaching the front door, there are formal box hedged borders either side of the entrance and full-length windows either side of the door. On entering the property, the reception hall is flooded with natural light. The tiled flooring flows throughout the ground floor and leads down some steps to a snug seating area with double ceiling height windows framing the views of the south facing garden to the rear.
Off the reception hall is the family sitting room with dual aspect which then opens out into the garden room with bifold doors onto the dining terrace. Windows all round create a light and bright space to relax. Double doors lead to an open plan dining-drawing room. The dining area enjoys dual aspect and the drawing room triple aspect with a large feature fireplace complete with log burner, acting as the divide between the two living spaces.
Off the reception hall is a sizeable study with views across the garden. There is also a useful utility room with built in storage, side door and plumbing for both a washing machine and dryer and space for a fridge and freezer. The downstairs WC is adjacent to a large built in cupboard ideal for storing coats and shoes.
To the left of the reception hall, through double doors, is a beautifully presented kitchen-living-dining area. The living area boasts a log burner with stone surround and bifold doors onto the south facing dining terrace. The lantern roof ensures the whole room enjoys a vast amount of natural light. The kitchen has a large central island with bar seating to one end and ample storage. Again, a wall of windows overlooking the front of the property and the sky lights guarantees natural light. A cream AGA with wooden surround provides the focus of the kitchen and there is a Miele induction hob and oven as well as a Miele microwave. There is a generous space for a large fridge and freezer and the built in Bosch dishwasher completes the built-in appliances.
Returning to the entrance hallway, stairs rise to a galleried landing with double height windows overlooking stunning views of the rear grounds. Continuing up the stairs to the first floor is a large landing. Two generous double bedrooms, one of which is currently utilized as the gym, share access to a family bathroom with free standing, feature bath and rain head shower.
To the right of the stairs is a corridor leading to a large double bedroom enjoying dual aspect with ensuite shower room and walk in wardrobes along the length of the room. To the front of the property is the impressive principal suite. The ensuite has a walk-in, double width shower and a beautiful freestanding bath as well as heated towel rail. The dressing room has ample built-in storage and a spiral staircase leads to a private mezzanine floor over looking the vaulted principal bedroom which is triple aspect. A large linen cupboard completes the first floor.
Continuing to the second floor, there is another mid-landing overlooking the gardens. On reaching the main second floor landing, there are two ensuite double bedrooms with built in storage. The bedroom to the left is triple aspect and to the right is dual aspect.
OUTSIDE
To the front of the property is a gated, gravel driveway with ample parking. The formal lawn is surrounded by boarders of mature shrubs and trees which offers a beautiful screening from the road. A patio surrounded by white roses provides a delightful seating area.
The driveway flows down to three interlinked purpose-built garages. Above these is a large and flexible space with adjacent shower room, which could easily be used in a variety of ways for homeworking, exercising, or accommodation as seen fit.
The rear of the property can be accessed either by a side path to the left-hand side or via gated access to the right hand side.
An extensive, raised, south facing dining terrace bordered by lavender sweeps around the rear of the property with steps leading to the formal rear lawn. Roses, amid other mature plants, fill the borders softening the formal lawn and mature trees are dotted throughout. A meadow lawn draws you further to the rear of the property and down towards an impressive lake edged with reeds and framed by yet more mature trees.
