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.

Property
Principally of a warm ironstone construction, Tudor House is an Edwardian family home which sits in a prime elevated position in the village. Having undergone significant refurbishment by the current owners including being comprehensively re wired and plumbed, Tudor House represents an excellent opportunity to own a traditional village home with a beautifully and sympathetically updated interior.
A generous and entirely refitted kitchen with large central island and thoughtfully placed sink enjoys views to the gardens to the rear, complemented by a generous and useful boot room, boiler room and pantry. The reception rooms exude comfort: the drawing room, which also has ample space for a dining table to one end, has deep-set mullioned windows looking out over the front gardens and along the tree-lined approach to Tudor House. To the far end of the room, a tall hearth with in-set woodburner creates an attractive focal point, while the parquet floor continues into the sitting room, which would also make a lovely standalone dining room, also with log burner and attractive window overlooking the front garden.
A particular feature of the property is the original hallway, with handsome stone door surround and featuring oak panelling and cloakroom off.
To the first floor, there are four well sized double bedrooms, three of which are en-suite, all recently refitted with large, contemporary showers, wall hung sinks and Ca'Pietra and Claybrooke tiled feature walls, and the main bathroom, also refitted, has a generous bathtub, walk in shower and panelled detailing.
The property has planning permission to extend to create the potential for a total of six bedrooms and three bathrooms to the first floor, and a significant increase to the ground floor accommodation with an extension to the kitchen and additional garden room. Full details can be found under application reference 15/01655/FUL.
Architects plans are also available via the agents for a possible variation to the planning permission.

OUTSIDE
Tudor House sits well within its plot, with gardens to all sides, and a gravelled driveway leading to the main entrance.
The gardens are mature and outstanding feature of this property. They are completely private on all sides with mature trees, sweeping lawns and a meandering stream creating an idyllic setting. Seating areas are dotted throughout, with an attractive apple orchard and areas of woodland which can be accessed at the rear from the orchard.
The paddock provides ample grounds for equestrian use, as well as the potential for further development opportunity subject to the necessary consents, and can be accessed from the house or via a five bar gate through the woodland to the far side of the plot.
