A haven for entertaining, fall in love with No. 1, Jubilee Close, a remarkable stone, barn-style home with versatility and character, nestled within easy reach of Rutland Water in the peaceful, conservation area village of Edith Weston.

Peaceful Setting

Originally part of Tyler’s Farm, No. 1 is one of an exclusive collection of converted stone barns nestled along Jubilee Close. Newly fitted, secure electric wooden gates open to reveal a gravel driveway, where there is sheltered parking beneath the oak framed car port - consider creating another parking space by removing the log store. A gate opens to a pergola covered, Indian stone paved path guiding you to the oak front door.

A Warm Welcome

Reclaimed wooden beams and oak flooring add warmth to the exposed brick, whitewash walls in the large entrance hallway; perfect for greeting guests. Well-proportioned and bright, light flows in through a rooflight window, with a cloakroom tucked away to the left, fully tiled, and fitted with wash basin and lavatory. A sociably designed home with great flow, a wing of bedrooms is tucked privately away from the main entertaining areas, beyond the cloak cupboard, to the right. But first, discover the heart of the home along an inner hallway embellished by reclaimed beams.

A Haven for Entertaining

Retaining so much character, original stabling and a large internal window have been preserved as you step into the kitchen, echoing the barn’s heritage. A home reimagined by the current owners, outer windows and doors have recently been replaced, with the addition of a Rangemaster oven and limestone flooring. A sociable hub, this spacious kitchen offers plentiful storage in the neutral-toned, wooden Shaker-style cupboards and drawers, with black granite worktops. An electric Rangemaster cooker is inset within a handsome inglenook surround, whilst a robust rustic beam spans the ceiling adding character. Appliances include an integrated fridge, dishwasher, and double Belfast sink, with a large central island.

Follow the Flow

Further storage is available in the laundry room with space for an American-style fridge-freezer and plumbing for washer and dryer. A vaulted ceiling rises in the dining area of the kitchen, awash with light from glazed doors opening to the garden – ideal for indoor-out summer living. Follow the flow through to the large sitting room, where beams accompany the large stone inglenook with wood-burning stove for an infusion of character and warmth. Supremely spacious, this welcoming and light room is perfect for entertaining.

Practical Luxury

Reconnecting with the inner hallway, pass the original stable window looking into the kitchen to arrive at the bedroom wing. Reclaimed doors feature throughout this section of the home, a pleasant nod to its rural past. The first bedroom to discover is a large, light double with exposed beams, oak flooring and a built-in wardrobe, whilst next, the guest suite follows the same theme; spacious and bright with double wardrobes and its own en suite shower room. Rejuvenate in the large bathroom, with bathtub, separate shower, wash basin and lavatory – drenched in light from the rooflight window above.

A Secluded Sanctuary

Ahead leads to the principal suite, a spacious room, filled with natural daylight thanks to the run of windows and glazed door tempting you onwards and into the garden. A walk-in wardrobe, and an en suite bathroom completes this restful sanctuary. Leading on, discover the peaceful study, which could easily be a snug lounge – potentially with kitchenette - should you wish to annexe this end of the home.

Garden Oasis

Outside, the enclosed, south-westerly landscaped garden is a peaceful suntrap. Lush lawn is edged in Indian stone paving and patios, perfect for aperitifs in the sunshine and illuminated by outside lighting after dusk. Borders are planted with low maintenance shrubs, including a Bramley apple tree, with a handy outbuilding used as a workshop and for storage.
