IMPOSING & IMPRESSIVE .
Gloriously ornate antique wrought iron gates, handily upgraded to open electronically and featuring an intercom system, welcome you to a sweeping driveway edged by dry stone walling, mature shrubs and large trees - offering plenty of space for parking.
The imposing facade of Robinswood will take your breath away, with its arched stone entrance and carved parapet finials giving a hint of the home's previous life.
FAMILY FRIENDLY FLOW .
Inside, the quality of this character-filled home exudes, with high ceilings, deep skirtings, ornate panelling and shutter flanked stone mullion windows. Carved Clipsham stone fireplaces warm all four
well-proportioned reception rooms. Views over the pretty gardens and tranquil pond can be glimpsed from many aspects as you travel through a home offering Victorian grandeur and modern family practicality.
Enter through the arched oak front door to arrive in the large light-filled hallway, where stripped wooden floors lead to the oak balustrade split level staircase. This rises to the upper two levels and descends to a rear entrance, giving glorious glimpses of the peony garden whilst affording easy access to the south terrace.
Peer through the door to your right to admire the formal dining room - an elegant socialising space that exemplifies the generous proportions this home offers.
Behind the dining room, a stunning formal sitting room absorbs the garden backdrop with a huge south facing bay window and west facing double windows overlooking the pond - where better to snuggle up with a good book and a hot chocolate in front of a roaring open fire?
Across the hallway are two other equally well-proportioned reception rooms, one of which was previously the Victorian kitchen and still houses the original servant bells.
YOUR DREAM KITCHEN .
Journey along the inner hallway and prepare to be impressed by the magnificent kitchen and family room. Oak trusses, a vaulted ceiling and glass gable provide the backdrop to this stunning modern addition to the grandeur of this period home. Double aspect bifold doors open the corner of this spacious entertaining space onto the formal patio and manicured gardens allowing your guests to mingle inside and out with ease.
A lower dining area, bathed in light from the patio doors is just waiting for you and your loved ones to savour a relaxed family meal. The whole area is kept cosy with under floor heating and a large wood burner.
The bespoke Siematic kitchen caters to sleek and efficient modern living with double ovens, a large American style fridge freezer, integrated dishwasher, additional under counter freezer, induction hob, lava coal bbq grill and Quooker hot tap.
A long granite topped breakfast island provides plenty of space for casual dining and quick coffees.
The spacious laundry room is accessed via the upper family area. Ample storage, granite work tops and a stunning arched oak doorway framed by antique stone carvings provides a pleasant space for chores or perhaps sleeping quarters for family pets.
The kitchen and family area can also be accessed from the front of the home which accesses an inner lobby where you will also find a contemporary tiled shower room and a boiler room.
SWEET SLUMBER .
Ascending the staircase to the first floor, take a glance at your garden through the double storey window, before arriving at the large bright landing which splits off into four tastefully decorated double bedrooms. Continuing the character from downstairs these rooms also have high ceilings, panelled doors and door frames, stone mullion windows and three have ornamental Ancaster stone fireplaces. An exquisite en suite shower room replete with spa style tiling, curved shower and rainfall shower head, a further family bathroom and additional WC complete this floor. Underfloor heating ensures all the bathrooms are warm under foot.
The accommodation continues as you ascend to the second floor where a further four light, bright rooms with vaulted ceilings await. With its own bathroom and heating system this floor would make perfect guest accommodation or perhaps a teenage retreat with their own study and sitting / games room.
A NATURAL HAVEN .
Robinswood's landscaped grounds with mature trees and shrubs screening the periphery provides privacy and seclusion. Wander around the walled pond, where you can sit and watch the wind rustling through the established trees or feed the Koi fish from the grassy bank.
The bi-fold doors in the atrium entice you to step onto a paved terrace with Yorkstone steps to a gravel pathway which divides the formal garden into lavender and rose beds, formal lawns, smart hedging and a mini orchard.
The garden unfolds as you explore, with numerous seating areas designed to take advantage of the sun. A fantastic open lawn for the children to play or picnic on is bordered by an array of trees and shrubbery. Adjacent to this you will discover the coach house - which offers exciting potential to convert to further accommodation, subject to planning.
To the south elevation you will discover delightful box hedging forming a weaving gravel path enclosing the peony garden. Why not take a turn around these unique grounds so you can fully appreciate the scope of this superb outdoor haven?
ON YOUR DOORSTEP .
Duddington - an historic village nestled on the banks of the River Welland – is steeped in character and charm, echoing the nearby Georgian town of Stamford, which lies just 4 miles away and offers a huge array of independent shops, restaurants, coffee shops and wine bars. The equally delightful market towns of Oakham and Uppingham are also nearby.

With Fineshade Wood and the Jurassic Way footpath on your doorstep you can explore the ever changing landscape to your heart's content. Adventurous types can take a trip to the fabulous outdoor activity facilities at Rutland Water when they are not playing a round of golf at Burghley Park.
For day to day necessities visit the community shop in Collyweston, the store and post office in Easton on the Hill or get to know your neighbours in Duddington's friendly Royal Oak pub.
Nearby you will find a wide choice of excellent schools such as Ketton C of E Primary, Kings Cliffe Endowed Primary and Uppingham Community College. With independent schooling in mind Witham Hall Prep, Brooke Priory, Stamford Endowed Schools, Uppingham, Oakham and Oundle Schools offer day and boarding facilities.

We know it’s about understanding you and your property, listening and caring about your reasons and motives for selling and it’s about getting your project right, and right from the start. Here at Pelham James, we create beautiful marketing for unique homes. To boost the attractiveness of your home and its asking price, we believe your property’s description should be enticing, creative, descriptive and inviting yet written in the style we read in our day-to-day lives.
