PROPERTY SOLD PRIOR TO MARKETING

Set in the picturesque and historic backdrop where Uffington House once graced the landscape before its demise in 1904, this Grade 2 listed estate is a harmonious blend of history and modern living. Sprawling across approximately 5.42 acres, the property feels like a grand mini estate, offering a primary residence alongside a quaint, self-contained period cottage, ideal for guests or a dedicated private escape for older children or extended family.

As you approach the property, you're greeted by the walled gardens and the striking Grade 2 listed gates, a majestic reminder of the estate's past. These gates now lead to the enchanting formal gardens and the yew tree walk, beautifully incorporated into the garden as a piece of living history. The actual entrance of the home is via a discreet private driveway that opens to reveal the grandeur of the principal home as you approach.

The property is encircled by a delightful mix of walled gardens and iron estate fencing, creating a secure yet aesthetically pleasing boundary that complements the estate's natural beauty. The grounds are a beautifully curated blend of formal gardens and parkland in a style mirroring that of the magnificent Burghley House that is situated just a few minutes away from the property at the estate's rear. An established orchard with a mix of fruit trees sits among the historic yew trees this estate was famous for, most notably Yew Tree Avenue, which once served as the treelined driveway to the main house that now serves as a picturesque garden feature.

Inside, the estate is thoughtfully designed to cater to various needs and interests. Beyond the basics, which in themselves are impressive, it houses two home offices and a formal study that could effortlessly transition into a library, offering a quiet haven for work or contemplation. The music room provides a dedicated space for artistic expression, while the drawing room, dining room, and family/breakfast room offer versatile areas for entertaining, dining, and everyday living. Practical needs are met with a boot/boiler room, utility room, and cellar, adding convenience to the estate's charm.

The primary suite is a retreat featuring a dressing room and an opulent bathroom, ensuring privacy and luxury within the comfort of your own home. For moments of leisure and relaxation, the estate boasts a private heated pool set within the courtyard garden, a tranquil spot for a refreshing swim or to unwind.

Positioned conveniently near Stamford and Peterborough, the estate benefits from the tranquillity of the countryside with the advantage of easy access to city amenities. London is a mere 45-minute train ride from Peterborough, providing the best of both worlds.

The village of Uffington offers a vibrant community spirit, home to the Bertie Arms, a historic pub dating back to 1681, and the beloved annual Scarecrow Festival. Families will appreciate the proximity to excellent independent schools, including Copthill School, Stamford School, and Kings School in Peterborough, making it an ideal location for those valuing education. Further afield, Oakham, Uppingham and Oundle have excellent schools and famous universities like Cambridge and De Montfort are just over an hour away.

This estate is not just a house; it's a lifestyle choice, offering peace, privacy, and a plethora of living spaces tailored for work, relaxation, and entertainment. Every room has a story to tell, and the property is a private playground for those who want to enjoy the blend of luxury and history whilst being within easy reach of everything nearby. Seeing this beautiful, unique miniature estate in person is the only way to truly capture its essence and potential.
