7 bed country house for sale

The Great Stair & Library, Burley On The Hill LE15

A rare opportunity to own one of the most remarkable residences within this historic country estate, offering the splendour of a stately home lifestyle together with the ease and security of modern, low-maintenance living.

Set amidst magnificent parkland and ancient woodland, with beautifully tended communal grounds, the property allows residents to enjoy an exceptional rural setting without the ongoing demands traditionally associated with country house ownership.

Originally created by renowned country house architect Kit Martin during the sensitive conversion of the mansion,

The Great Stair and The Library were designed as two individual homes before being united by the first owner into one outstanding residence extending to approximately 12,000 sq ft. Showcasing many of the mansion's most impressive original interiors, the property also offers the flexibility to be reconfigured into two substantial homes of around 6,000 sq ft each, should a future owner wish.

Spanning four beautifully arranged floors, the accommodation blends historic character with contemporary comfort.

At its heart is a superb open-plan kitchen and family living space, opening directly onto a terrace that enjoys breathtaking views across the estate's deer park and towards Rutland Water.

The sense of arrival is unforgettable.

A magnificent staircase, adorned with an extraordinary Da Vinci-inspired decorative scheme by a distinguished Italian artist, forms the centrepiece of the home, reflecting the craftsmanship and grandeur found throughout.

The principal reception rooms are exceptional in both scale and architectural beauty, providing elegant spaces for entertaining on a grand scale while retaining a warm and welcoming atmosphere for everyday family life. Rich in history, these rooms are believed to have welcomed notable guests, including royalty and Sir Winston Churchill.

Combining centuries of heritage with modern practicality, this exceptional home offers an unrivalled lifestyle where architectural significance, breathtaking surroundings and contemporary convenience exist in perfect harmony.

Offered for sale with no onward chain.
