3 bedroom terraced house for sale

Located on the crest of a hill, the picturesque village of Pickwell is

the perfect rural retreat, with views of open countryside to the front

aspect and mature parkland and paddocks to the rear. A distinctive

landmark on the local landscape is the Grade I listed All Saints Church

which features a 15th century tower resplendent with four gargoyles,

lancet windows and a crenellated parapet.

Pickwell’s rural location combines all the benefits of countryside

living with ease of access to thriving market towns. Idyllic open spaces

abound, including Burrough Hill country park, which lies only 3 miles

from the village. With a well-preserved Iron Age hill fort on the summit

of a steep-sided promontory, it offers superb views from its grassy top,

across arable land and villages beyond. The country park at Burrough

Hill adjoins the Leicestershire Round – a 100 mile long footpath

encircling the county.

The award winning Gates Garden Centre and Farm Shop is a popular

attraction only 2.5 miles from the development. On site, the Hambleton

Butchery supplies locally sourced meat, a range of fresh produce and

essentials, including organic milk from a herd of cows that graze in the

surrounding fields.

A little further afield, Rutland Water entices locals and visitors from far

and wide for walking and cycling, fishing and watersports. A man-made

reservoir located in 4,200 acres of open countryside, there is also a large

nature reserve managed by the Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust

and home to the Rutland Osprey Project.

Life in Pickwell affords home-owners all the benefits of relaxed country

living, with easy access to local towns and cities including Oakham, Melton

Mowbray, Stamford, Leicester and Nottingham. And closer to home there

are plenty of local walking routes and open countryside to explore.
