SITUATION
Bytham Stud is located less than one mile to the West of the ever-popular village of Castle Bytham which is a delightful South Lincolnshire conservation village blessed with many old stone properties. Over the years the village has expanded with some sympathetic modern housing creating a vibrant community with a recent consensus confirming a population numbering several hundred. One of the central features of the village is the Old Castle Mound, a former Norman Castle, though in the Domesday survey of 1086 the village was known as West Bytham as the castle had yet to be built.
There are a number of local amenities within the village to include two well established Public Houses; St. James’ Church believed to date back to Norman times; the Bythams Community Shop; a useful Doctors Surgery and Bus Service further connecting the Village to the surrounding villages and towns. The market towns of Stamford, Oakham and Bourne are all within a convenient distance and provide a broader range of shopping opportunities and amenities whilst the Cathedral city of Peterborough and the town of Grantham, offer yet more interest and opportunity.
Castle Bytham sits in picturesque rolling countryside yet is minutes from the region’s arterial road network. The A1 is 4 miles to the west of Bytham Stud and allows the commuter very easy access north to Grantham, some 15 miles away and south, to Peterborough, some 25 miles. Both Grantham and Peterborough have main line railway stations with frequent fast trains providing options north and south. There are local train services also afforded from Stamford and Spalding.
Leisure facilities in the area are numerous. For the Equine enthusiast, Bytham Stud is enviably located with cross country riding opportunities plentiful and several useful bridleways within a short hack of the property. Other amenities include popular golf courses such as Stoke Rochford, Greetham Valley, Luffenham Heath and Toft, whereas nearby Rutland Water caters for cycling, fishing, water sports and countryside walks.
Bytham Stud is well placed for convenient access to both private and state schooling with the well-regarded Witham Hall Prep School but four miles away. Bourne Grammar is nearby and Stamford, Oakham, Uppingham and Oundle are all within a reasonable driving distance.
DESCRIPTION
Bytham Stud is blessed with two driveways, one to the front offering a more formal approach and one to the rear, affording extensive parking for a variety of vehicles. Through the secure electric gates of the front drive, the property greets you immediately with views to the south across its own paddock land. The house itself sits centrally within almost one acre of grounds and the very flexible nature of this property is immediately obvious.
The front door of the property is within a protective Porch; a useful space to leave boots and coats before entering. Through the front door, the light and bright reception hallway draws you in to the heart of the house. Operating on a single level, the house is ideal for a family or for multigenerational living with flexible accommodation characterized by large rooms with open views on all sides. From the Hallway, may be accessed the Drawing Room. A large room with feature fireplace and wood burner complimented by doors to either the west facing Garden or Decked Seating Area to the side of the Swimming Pool. The large Kitchen Dining Room has a useful pantry and room enough for sofas and seating to one end. Bifold doors ensure this room has the benefit of an “outside inside” feel and allow a great deal of natural light into the home.
From the kitchen, there is access to the rear boot room and large Utility beyond. The Utility Room once formed part of the Annex, as a bedroom and may be simply returned to the Annex, ensuring separation between accommodation, as required. Beyond the current Utility Room are two good sized rooms currently used as home working spaces. These rooms could equally be another bedroom and living room with a large Bathroom and fully plumbed kitchen area completing the potential Annex at the south end of the main house. With its own access and parking area, there are a number of possible uses for this space.
Returning to the central Reception Hallway, the Principal Bedroom is found towards the northern end of the house. This large room has the benefit of an En-Suite shower room and walk-in wardrobe. The Family Bathroom is light and bright and serves two further generous double bedrooms whilst the fourth bedroom is again of good size and has its own en-suite shower room with w/c.
OUTSIDE
Bytham Stud is protected by mature boundary hedges and fencing to Morkery Lane. The front of the property enjoys a large gravel driveway with parking for several cars. There is a small paddock to the front of the house, separating you from the neighbouring property, formally a racehorse training yard. To the rear of the house, the pretty gardens face in a westerly direction and are laid mainly to lawn with raised vegetable beds a recent addition. The heated outdoor swimming pool occupies a protected position to the side of the house and a useful decked seating area ensures there is space enough to dine outside.
A large American Barn style stable block separates the house from the rear drive. Constructed of stone and block under a pantile roof, the stables provide room enough for several large horses or perhaps smaller ones were they divided again. A useful wash box, secure Tack room and Workshop are all under this one roof and a wide central walkway ensures a workable environment for all weather conditions. Several stables have openings out towards the house and gardens ensuring friendly faces can be seen from inside the house itself. Beyond the American Barn are two further wooden stables and two open stores which operate as feed and Hay stores.
The Grazing land at Bytham Stud is made up of two smaller paddocks close to the house, possibly operating as isolation grazing and one large field to the south of the old railway line. Accessed via the railway bridge over which Bytham Stud enjoys a permanent right of way, this large field extends to about 5acres. Towards the rear of the house and just off the rear yard, is a small sand arena in addition.
