SITUATIONSITUATIONSITUATIONSITUATION

Pickwell is a tranquil village on the Leicestershire/Rutland borders, set

within some of the County’s most attractive countryside.

The village is located between the well-serviced market towns of

Oakham (Rutland) and Melton Mowbray (Leicestershire), in the

attractive rolling countryside of ‘High Leicestershire’ at the heart of Cottesmore Hunt Tuesday country. The attractive rural village

comprises a collection of largely period houses, centred on the Parish

church of All Saints, which lies opposite Strawberry Court.

The larger neighbouring village of Somerby offers a variety of daily

services, including a village shop and post office, primary school,

doctor’s surgery and public house, whilst communication links are

good. The A47 is close at hand providing a rapid route to Leicester and

the M1 (west), or Peterborough and the A1 (east), whilst the village is also well positioned for access to Oakham and Melton Mowbray, as

well as to Stamford and Market Harborough, where there is a fast rail

link to London.

THETHETHETHE PROPERTYPROPERTYPROPERTYPROPERTY

The original house is constructed in local coursed iron stone under a

Collyweston stone clay roof with dressed stone quoins, lintels and

headstones. A substantial single storey extension to the rear was

completed in 2012 again in iron stone with dressed ashlar quoins, under a Welsh slate roof. The property briefly comprises entrance hall,

downstairs cloakroom, sitting room, dining room, snug, rear hall, utility

room, cloakroom, magnificent living kitchen with high quality framed

kitchen cabinets and electric Aga, and boot room. Upstairs the landing

gives access to four bedrooms, the master with an impressive en-suite

bathroom, and a second family bath/shower room. Outside, there are

pretty gardens largely laid to lawn with mature beds, a gravelled

driveway leads to a concrete yard with a large stone open barn, and a smaller adjoining brick store. These could be converted to provide

further living accommodation as they have had the benefit of planning

consent in the past. A stable block comprising 3 loose boxes, is

complemented by a small turnout paddock. A paddock is available by

separate negotiation.
