SITUATION
Horninghold is a striking conservation village lying in the upper Welland Valley, with the Rutland market town of Uppingham set 4 miles to the north-east and the Rutland town of Oakham a short distance beyond, as well as the historic market town of Market Harborough only a short distance away.
The principal part of the village appears remarkably laid out with a number of large houses, the grounds of which are well landscaped. Parts of the village date back to the 16th and 17th century, whilst extensive harmonisation was carried out during the early part of the 20th century by the Hardcastle family of Blaston Hall, with great thought given to the orientation and architecture of the main houses.
The major commercial centres of Leicester and Peterborough are set to the west and east respectively with both providing comprehensive services including main line rail links to London St Pancras and Kings Cross.
Schooling in the area is outstanding, with excellent public schools at Uppingham, Oakham, Stamford and Oundle, with local preparatory schools Maidwell Hall, Spratton Hall and Stoneygate providing good feeders for these.
The village is particularly well surrounded by open countryside and offers the opportunity for excellent country pursuits. With water sports on Rutland Water, fishing on the Eyebrook, polo at Oakham, and golf at Market Harborough, South Luffenham, Stamford and Melton Mowbray. Racing is at Leicester, Southall, Nottingham and Huntingdon. The village sits in Fernie country, with Cottesmore, the Quorn and Woodland Pytchley are within easy boxing distance.
THE PROPERTY
Built in 2010 to exacting standards, Horninghold House blends modern touches with attractive traditional finishes and architectural design. Throughout the house, solid oak flooring, doors, skirtings and detailing has been used; there is underfloor heating throughout, traditional height ceilings with moulded coving, and handsome mullioned windows with bronze casement windows by Vale Garden Houses, set into angled recesses to increase light introduction. There is Cat 6 cabling throughout, and SONOS installed, including on the terrace surrounding the swimming pool.
The kitchen is a Vela Cici at Vale Garden Houses, featuring all Miele appliances, including a double fridge and freezer, coffee maker, steam oven, double oven, warming drawer, microwave-combi oven, two dishwashers, an induction hob and De Dietrich rise and fall extraction fan in the central island. There is an excellent range of storage, with double decked drawers, larder cupboard, Bosch wine cooler and extensive run of units, plus both a preparation sink on the island, and double sink under the window overlooking the gardens beyond. The large central island makes for excellent preparation space as well as being an ideal place around which to gather when entertaining. There is a spacious area to one end of the kitchen for a breakfasting table, and with two doors opening onto the central hall, which could happily double as a dining hall due to its size and the fireplace creating a focal point, the layout of the two rooms is very complementary. Also off the reception hall is a comfortable sitting room, with attractive canted bay window flooding the room with light, and a generous drawing room, with open fire at the heart, and wide double doors opening through into the Garden Room, also by Vale Garden Houses. Beautifully designed, with underfloor heating and a contemporary wood-burning stove to one end, the room is comfortable all year round, enjoying views out over the rear terrace and through to the gardens.
Down a flight of stairs from the hall is a superb basement, fitted out as a games room and entertainment suite, featuring a second kitchen, also with Miele appliances and breakfast bar/island, laundry area including drying cupboard, television corner, a central fireplace, and a gymnasium, with shower and cloakroom.
To the first floor, there are four excellent sized bedrooms. The principal bedroom features extensive built in wardrobes, and a beautiful bathroom, fitted with high a quality Porcelanosa suite, with the bath positioned to take in the views through the French doors and over the balcony and onto the treetops in the garden.
A guest bedroom is also fitted with a generous en-suite, and the room has been designed in such a way that it could be divided to create an additional bedroom if required. Ther are two further bedrooms, both well-sized doubles, and a beautifully fitted shower room, also finished with Porcelanosa fixtures.
CLOCK HOUSE
Set to the far side of the rear courtyard, Clock House is a first-floor self-contained apartment, designed with an open plan living, kitchen dining room, and a generous bedroom with ample built in storage. There is a generous bathroom with double walk-in shower and cloakroom off.
OUTSIDE
Approached through historic wrought-iron electric gates over a gravelled and tree-lined driveway, Horninghold House is hidden from the casual passer-by, with a glade of well-established ferns and shade loving plants wending their way up to either the side of the drive and with meandering pathways leading explorers off into the depths.
To one side at the front of the house and southerly facing is a manicured Italian garden, with clipped hedges and pristine trees. A terrace is adjacent, with a wendy house hidden away for those young at heart.
The gardens continue down the side of Horninghold House, wrapping around to the rear where there is a sheltered terrace, surrounded by well-tended borders, and with a gas-fired Barbecue set into the chimney of the Garden Room. Steps lead up to the sheltered swimming pool, which is heated and has SONOS speakers to one end and is surrounded by lawn and borders around the sun terrace. Set within the garaging adjacent is a useful changing room, shower and cloakroom.
Clipped hedges create a smart boundary, with a pathway to the other side leading to a further lawned garden, which abuts the rear driveway, with its high walls interspersed with fruiting trees.
Garaging at the property is extensive, with six garages in addition to a garden store with gardener’s WC, store, and the swimming pool plant room. There are several parking areas, with the wide gravelled driveway terminating immediately to the front of the house, and the rear gates opening onto two gravelled parking areas adjacent to Clock House.
