Ayston Hall
Main Street, Ayston, RUTLAND, LE15 9AE
Ayston Hall is a substantial,
Grade II Listed country house
set in approximately 2.42 acres
of manicured gardens, presented
to impeccable standards and
exquisitely positioned in the heart
of this beautiful
Rutland
hamlet,
one mile from the market town of
Uppingham.
The Hall is constructed in local ashlar stone, is of classical
proportions with tall oak sash windows and is characterised by
magnificent quality joinery throughout and a high standard of modern
appointments having been substantially upgraded by the previous two
owners. Later improvements to the property have been the erection
of a fine garage and studio block, a stone elevation two storey office
and guest suite. An Orangery, garden room, heated swimming pool,
sunken all-weather tennis court, treehouse and gardens imported from
the Chelsea flower show complete this splendid home.
Ayston is situated approximately one mile from Uppingham, nineteen
miles from Leicester and six miles from Oakham with mainline
railway services at Oakham, Market Harborough and Peterborough.
Sporting and recreational facilities are provided by golf at Luffenham
Heath, sailing at Rutland Water and hunting with the Fernie and
Cottesmore. The area is favoured with excellent schooling at
Oakham, Uppingham and Stamford.
This
fine family home is presented
with exquisite taste and high
quality architectural detailing
and fittings, and is offered
with the
