"A quite exceptional barn conversion presented and specified to excellent standards with 11.79 acres including first class equestrian facilities, situated in an elevated position with panoramic views over some of the Countys finest rolling countryside. Extended and refitted by the present owners to include a self-contained guest wing, the accommodation has been thoughtfully laid out, is flexible in its use and enjoys contemporary styling blending very well with the more traditional original elements. Forefront in our clients mind when adding to the original barn was to take best advantage of the fantastic views over the equestrian block and paddocks. Launde is a small rural Hamlet on the Leicestershire/Rutland borders, set within beautiful countryside and renowned for Launde Abbey, a magnificent former Monastery (now a religious retreat). The area provides unrivalled access to bridleways and hacking around quiet country lanes. The equestrian facilities include a paddock of approximately 10 acres or thereabouts with 5 stables, 2 looseboxes, washroom, feed and tack rooms and a recently constructed m?nage and horse walker. Launde is conveniently situated for the market towns of Oakham(5 miles), Uppingham(8 miles), Leicester(16 miles), and Market Harborough(18 miles), with popular schools in both the private and state sectors. This property is offered with the Agents highest recommendation.
