Teigh View Barn

Teigh, Oakham, Rutland

A stunning uniquely designed six bedroom family home in a peaceful rural countryside setting, with 2.8 acres and landscaped gardens guide price £2,600,000

The standout conversion of a traditional stone barn, dated 1862, presented to a fabulous standard and positioned within imaginatively landscaped gardens designed for entertaining at home.
The property was converted in 2017 and combines contemporary design details with the old stone and exposed timbers of the original building to great effect.

The gardens extend to 2.8 acres, or thereabouts, offering ample space for outdoor entertaining. The property has a great sense of privacy whilst combining open views over fields towards the village of Teigh. An extensive landscaping project has created beautifully manicured grounds, a programme of shrub and tree planting, and a number of spaces for gathering with family and friends.

In addition, there is ample off-road parking and covered garaging for many vehicles within a spacious detached garage barn.

Perfectly marrying the original character of the building with its contemporary design, the interiors at Teigh View Barn feature all the modern conveniences desired for a home of this specification. Developed by Kaybee Developments and purchased by the vendor shortly before completion, this allowed a chance to stamp their personality on the home. Over the years, further improvements have been made to enhance this magnificent property, while not detracting from the charm of the building.

The room with the most character is the principal bedroom, which features exposed timber beams perfectly juxtaposed against the modern windows and high-end fittings. Large gatherings of family and friends are a breeze, with all of the bedrooms benefiting from dressing rooms and en suite facilities featuring Porcelanosa sanitary
ware throughout.

A long, glazed corridor to one side of the property provides not only a striking focal point but an easy route between the living accommodation, bedrooms and work and leisure spaces.

The rest of the house is equally well set up for entertaining, the triple aspect kitchen/dining/family room serves as the heart of the home and providing a space where all can gather together to enjoy family meals and celebrations, with two sets of bi-folding doors to the gardens. The family room is a quiet retreat at the end of the day to appreciate quality time as a family, while the useful study provides an area for homeworking. There is also a gym, which like the rest of the house, enjoys magnificent views across the grounds and the farmland beyond.

When the weather is fine, entertaining can be taken outdoors to the terrace, where there is a sunken fire pit with lighting from which to enjoy the sunsets.
To the front of the house there is ample parking on a private driveway in addition to a detached triple garage and storage area of over 1600 sq ft, clad in Siberian larch.
