Allexton Hall - a country estate of pure distinction
Set in an idyllic hamlet on the southern side of the Eye Brook on the Leicestershire Rutland border, Allexton Hall Estate is a stunning rural retreat, surrounded by breath-taking rolling countryside.
For sale through leading rural property consultants, Fisher German LLP, Allexton Hall enters the market at a guide price of £10million. Showcasing the highest of rural finery, the hall has been completely renovated and sympathetically refurbished back to its original splendour. The estate also provides extensive business opportunities spread across its 964 acres of land.
The estate consists of a Grade II listed house, a pair of Lodges, three Cottages in the old stable yard, excellent equestrian facilities, lovely gardens and ground including two lakes, a further farmhouse and acres of arable pasture and woodland.
“The house has been painstakingly restored over the last 12 years by the present owners,” says Fisher German’s Richard Clowes. “It boasts a particularly fine reception, a lovely drawing room, a large family kitchen with Aga and a superb master suite with lancet style windows overlooking the formal gardens.”
An eventing yard has been run from the estate for many years and the facilities include 22 stables, a manège and a horsewalker. In addition there are wide margins around many of the fields for the training and exercise of the horses. A family shoot has also been run over the estate which has made use of the many small plantations along the Eye Brook.
The market town of Uppingham is just four miles away with the county town of Oakham nine miles and a train service to London St Pancras from Market Harborough 13 miles to the south.
“The estate has been built up over the last few years and consists of some of the most attractive rolling countryside with a particularly fine and manageable house,” he adds. “It is rare to be able to purchase nearly a thousand acres in this area and rarer still to have such a splendid house to go with the land. If there is another opportunity in the next two years like this, I would be really surprised. We anticipate there is going to be a lot of interest!”
