What you will love about this home

Modernised Early Victorian manor house situated in a charming village in the heart of rural England. Ivy House is a stone built property dating from about 1840 with lots of original stylish features. The large windows and high ceilings make all the rooms light and airy. The house is warm and cosy in the winter months thanks to a real fire, a wood burner stove and a state of the art heating system. It has a large kitchen/breakfast room with french windows onto the garden, sitting room, study, dining room and downstairs WC / utility room. Upstairs are four bedrooms (one ensuite), dressing room and master bathroom. It boasts a large and pretty walled garden. An extremely comfortable and well appointed home.

Buckminster is a small village in an attractive countryside setting. It has its own excellent pub/ restaurant, church (dating from the 13th century) and local village shop. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhXxBfttjzQ (the side of our house features at 0.59 - 1.04) Apart from shots of the house, the photos show: a wintery scene taken just outside the front door(!), the village pub and the village church. The house is a 15 minute drive to the historic market towns of Oakham, Melton Mowbray and Grantham, and within 40 minutes of the cities of Nottingham and Leicester. Stamford, “the finest stone town in England”, is about 12 miles away. It has magnificent Georgian architecture and a fantastic range of independent and speciality shopping. There are many stately homes and award winning gardens nearby such as Belvoir Castle, Belton House and Barnsdale. Rutland Water, one of the largest man made lakes in Europe - perfect for walking, cycling, fishing and birdwatching - is 20 minutes by car. The famous scientist, Sir Isaac Newton was born and lived in the neighboring village of Woolsthorpe. His house, complete with apple tree(!) is open to the public. Have a look at https://youtu.be/VupFDDrX0Rw From Grantham it is only an hour or so by train to London or to York, the same line goes on to Edinburgh. Cambridge is an hour’s drive. The remaining photos show Stamford, Rutland Water, Oakham, Belvoir Castle, Belton House. Barnsdale Gardens and Isaac Newton's Woolsthorpe Manor.
