" Wind Pump Farm is a charming country residence in an exceptional location with fantastic views across beautiful open countryside to the north of Rutland Water. Enjoying wonderful access to the open spaces that surround it and tucked well off the beaten track, the house itself is built of stone and brick and comprises a dwelling made up of a farmhouse built around 1850, a dairy and cow-shed, now converted to create a spacious and welcoming home. The whole property retains its period character and has many original features such as solid oak beams, exposed stone walls and a handsome inglenook fireplace, whilst more recent updates include double-glazing, new central heating and high-pressure water systems, and a splendid Conservatory. Throughout the house, many windows make the most of the splendid views and on the ground floor doors open out onto a raised south-facing terrace that is the perfect spot in which to enjoy the peace and privacy of the location. The property's extensive grounds surround the house and include a pretty garden with sunny patios and lawns, as well a five acre wood and a five acre paddock at the front of the house. The grounds border open fields that are a haven for wildlife and birds and there are open views from every point. A truly unique property in an unrivalled rural setting, Wind Pump Farm is an impressive and welcoming country home in an excellent Rutland location.
