The property
Built in 2006, and set in a private position on the edge of the village, Scales Dyke is a striking stone and brick residence offering spacious, high quality living spaces across three floors. Constructed to an exacting standard, the property features underfloor heating to the ground and first floors, sash windows, solid oak and tiled flooring and beautifully landscaped gardens.
The ground floor includes a welcoming reception/dining hall with an open fireplace, an elegant sitting room, snug, study, cloakrooms, and a superb 875 sqft open-plan 'living' kitchen with a sun room with French doors opening on to a terrace. A highlight is the impressive indoor swimming pool complex with floor-to-ceiling windows and garden views.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom has a bay window, dressing area, and en suite. Two further bedrooms have en suites, with three additional bedrooms served by a contemporary family bathroom. In addition, the first floor has an office wing with two offices, a WC and dedicated stairs leading down to a separate entrance creating annexe potential. The second floor features three versatile attic rooms and a gym.
Outside
The House is approached from Main Street by a discrete, partially tarmacked, driveway over which the property has a right of way. Front gates lead to a generous gravelled parking area, double garage, and turning space. A separate single garage with solar PV panels and a timber workshop provides additional practical space adjacent to two kennels. The garden is mature and the boundary plantings provide complete privacy.
To the rear and side, a sun terrace offers ideal space for entertaining and overlooks south-west facing gardens, an orchard and a pavilion with an ornamental pond. Beyond the gardens, two paddocks back onto open countryside. These are supplied with mains water and are complemented by two stables and a field shelter.
Location
Set in the picturesque Rutland village of Lyddington and lying within the Welland Valley, Scales Dyke enjoys a peaceful rural setting with excellent connections. The village has a thriving community with St Andrew's Church offering services on a monthly basis, a village hall, a recreation ground with a children’s playground and a tennis court. In addition, there are two popular pubs – The Marquess of Exeter and Old White Hart. Four footpaths emanate from the village providing scenic countryside walks on the doorstep.
The village is steeped in history and the majority of the village lies within a conservation area. There are 70 listed buildings, 2 Scheduled Ancient Monuments, the medieval fishponds and Lyddington Bede House. St Andrew’s Church, Lyddington Bede House and their surrounds are significant features in the village centre. The Bede House is owned by English Heritage and is a Grade 1 listed building incorporating parts of a medieval bishop’s palace.
The village is well connected and close to the A47 and A6003, with mainline rail services from both Corby and Kettering to London St Pancras in around an hour and a quarter. The nearby market towns of Uppingham, Oakham, and Stamford provide excellent shopping, schooling (including leading independents) and Oakham offers train services to Birmingham, Stanstead and London Kings Cross via Peterborough.
There are many leisure facilities in the area, with nearby access to Rutland Water, offering sailing, cycling, fishing, and scenic walks, as well as golf at
local clubs including Luffenham Heath and Greetham Valley.
