The Stables, The Burley Estate, LE15

Set within the historic stable block of the iconic Burley on the Hill estate, this extraordinary apartment offers something few homes can: the perfect marriage of timeless grandeur and contemporary design. Originally part of a Grade I listed 17th-century Palladian mansion, this property has been transformed into a sleek, spacious home that doesn’t just honour its past — it celebrates it.

From the moment you arrive, there’s a sense of occasion. The communal entrance is as impressive as it is welcoming — think stone-flagged floors, soaring ceilings, and a sweeping cantilevered staircase that hints at the building’s stately history.

Inside the apartment, the wow factor is immediate. The main living space is nothing short of spectacular: double-height ceilings, exposed beams, original stone walls, and a towering sash window that bathes the room in light. It’s a space that feels open yet intimate, warm yet architectural. A sleek gas fireplace adds a touch of modern comfort, while the sense of scale gives the whole home a unique presence.

The kitchen is equally impressive. Designed by Nathaniel Oliver, it combines sharp design with thoughtful function. A central quartz island anchors the room — stylish, practical, and cleverly integrating a bespoke dining table. High-spec appliances include a built-in pressure cooker, induction hob, steam ovens, and a coffee machine — everything you need whether you're cooking for two or hosting a dinner party.

Off the kitchen, the dining room offers something more formal. With whitewashed floors and beautiful views over the mansion’s grand Cour d’Honneur, it’s a space that feels equally at home with candles and wine or Sunday brunch.

Upstairs, the principal suite is the kind of space you’ll want to linger in. There’s a sash window framing the greenery outside, custom wardrobes, and a hotel-worthy en suite with a floating bathtub and a walk-in shower. Two further double bedrooms share this level — one with its own en suite, the other with access to a Jack-and-Jill bathroom complete with double sinks and a second floating tub. A galleried landing looks back over the living space, adding even more light and drama.

And then there’s the balcony. Tucked away for privacy and surrounded by sky and greenery, it offers beautiful views — out across parkland and woodland towards Rutland Water. It’s the kind of spot you’ll find yourself drawn to with a morning coffee or a glass of wine at sunset.

This home is part of the award-winning conversion of Burley on the Hill Mansion, originally designed for the Earl of Nottingham and later updated by landscape architect Humphry Repton. Today, it sits within 60 acres of private parkland and woodland, all carefully preserved and accessible exclusively to residents — including the historic deer park and landscaped gardens.

Day-to-day living is made easy too, with a double garage, two additional parking spaces, and the option to install an EV charger (subject to permissions). The estate is beautifully maintained by two resident-led companies, keeping everything in impeccable condition. Fees also cover building insurance and water charges.

And while it feels like a world of its own, Burley on the Hill is just two miles from the vibrant market town of Oakham, with excellent rail links and day-to-day amenities. Stamford and Uppingham — both renowned for their charm, schools, and independent shops — are also nearby, with Rutland Water just minutes away for walking, sailing, or cycling.

This isn’t just a beautiful home — it’s a completely unique lifestyle. One that blends the quiet elegance of a historic estate with the comfort and style of a modern apartment. And homes like this? They don’t come around often.
