Description:

The listed conversion of a 19th century Italianate stable block, with two ancillary cottages, in 19 acres of parkland and paddocks, between the market towns of Stamford, Oundle and Uppingham Description A beautiful 19th century Italianate stable block conversion, Fineshade Abbey, with its octagonal stone cupola with clock and weathervane as a prominent marker, is approached through its 19 acres, or thereabouts, of rolling landscaped grounds, with woodland as a backdrop. Approached through the grounds, the electric entrance gates to the Abbey itself enter a sheltered inner courtyard, framed to three sides by the Abbey and its two ancillary cottages, providing an absolute haven, with magnificent views from the house over the grounds. Accommodation An abiding theme through the property are the era’s high ceilings, exposed stonework and timber beams and trusses, as is the contemporary work of the designer Clive Christian, who’s influence can be seen from the kitchen - dining - living area through, to the bathrooms and built-in cupboards within the bedrooms. The accommodation forms a U-plan, with two storey northern and southern wings, linked by the single storey eastern wing of the courtyard. Within this, the flagstone floored kitchen-living-diner is the heart of the home. It has sets of double doors to the garden’s dining terrace, together with a large fireplace with log burner. It incorporates an extensive solid wood suite, with Aga and a range of built-in appliances, with a wooden island providing convivial breakfast bar seating. The flagstones continue into the dining room, which also has a magnificent fireplace with log burner and French doors to the dining terrace. The 43’ drawing room, which also double doors to the dining terrace, incorporates a panelled and shelved library and reading nook, whilst the prominent feature of the room is the stone fireplace.
