Situation

Normanton is a small village and civil parish on the eastern shore of Rutland Water. Normanton
Hall, no longer standing, was a seat of the Earls of Ancaster and an important centre of their
estates. Normanton itself lies between two ever popular villages, being Edith Weston and
Empingham, which offer a variety of local amenities. Both these villages comprise a mixture of
houses and cottages many of which are listed for architectural or historic reasons. Amenities in
Edith Weston include a public house, shop, primary school, and church whilst Empingham also
has a medical centre in addition.

Rutland Water is an internationally famous nature reserve managed in partnership with Anglian
Water and the Leicestershire & Rutland Wildlife Trust. This lifestyle location offers a superb range
of recreational facilities including nature walks, sailing, fishing, cycle routes and activity centres.

Across the Water from Normanton, the Barnsdale Country Club offers further leisure facilities,
including swimming pool, gym and tennis club, whilst there are also several golf courses nearby,
including at Manton and Luffenham Heath, Burghley and Greetham Valley.

The nearby market towns of Oakham, Uppingham and Stamford offer
weekly street markets together with a good range of shopping and
recreational facilities and each has a highly regarded public school as well
as a variety of other state educational options for children of all ages. The
A1 is easily accessible; situated some 6 miles to the East. Peterborough, 20
miles to the south east, offers a high speed rail link to London King’s Cross
with a publicised journey time of approximately 50 minutes.

Description

Normanton Park House sits within the walls of the once kitchen gardens to
Normanton Hall with the stable block to the Hall, now forming the adjacent
but unobtrusive, hotel. The house is not easily seen from outside its
protective boundaries and as such, quite what a special property is
available, is only seen once through the double gates at the drive.
Normanton Park House was designed and created by the current owners
to incorporate some original buildings dating back to the 18th century as
well as a significant element of new build completed approximately
15years ago. On approach, the driveway sits tight to the southern
boundary, finishing at the side of the house at an area of ample parking,
with turning circle.

On entering the property through the front door, it is difficult not to glimpse
the stunning vista of Rutland Water available from many of the windows
in the house. The Reception Hall leads freely on into the expansive modern
Kitchen Dining Room which enjoys floor to ceiling glass windows and doors
out to the gardens. Natural light and underfloor heating combined with
glimpses of original Victorian detailing are significant features of this
property, throughout its living spaces and the Kitchen exemplifies this. From
the Kitchen, steps down lead to the Conservatory, with glass on two sides
and an attractive slate floor. This glamourous room may be enjoyed equally
in daylight or at night, thanks to sensitive lighting and heating provision.
Beyond the Conservatory is the Drawing Room, with feature wood burning
stove or air conditioning as required and further doors out to the gardens
or Barbeque area beyond.

Returning back to the Kitchen, a useful Pantry room and separate Utility
Room further separate the bedrooms from those areas more likely to be
used socially. There are 3 generous Double Bedrooms of almost identical
proportion and each with its own En-Suite Bathroom. A sitting room
towards the end of the house offers a flexible space being as it could be a
fifth bedroom, study or home office with a bathroom here also. The
Principal Bedroom is accessed via stairs from its own substantial dressing
areas with En-Suite Bathroom. The views from within are only slightly
bettered from the west facing terrace accessed from this very private space.





OUTSIDE

The beautiful grounds and gardens at Normanton Park House, are mainly
lawned with mature trees, hedges and shrubs perfectly describing
individual spaces within the whole. The driveway is neatly located to the
side of the plot and on approach, the expansive parking area to the side
of the house, affords a first glimpse of the water beyond. The Garden walls
are of sufficient height to afford considerable privacy and security and are
adorned with various fruit trees which offer colour and interest throughout
the year. The property enjoys a slightly elevated position on the south
easterly side of Rutland Water which ensures the setting sun bathes the
gardens and grounds for most of the day. There is a useful array of
outbuildings forming a garden store which could equally be a single
garage, a further two stores and a workshop.
