Six Hills Lane, Ab Kettleby

A beautifully converted three-bedroom barn forming part of the former stables and staff accommodation to Wartnaby Castle, within the historic Little Belvoir Estate. The estate is understood to date from around 1839, developed as a hunting facility with these stables an integral part of its original purpose, and the buildings have now been sympathetically refurbished and renovated to create a first-class family home that combines the character and charm of a barn conversion with the practicality of single-storey living and the eco credentials of a new build (EPC 82/90, B rating).
Occupying an enviable, elevated position above the Vale of Belvoir, the property is approached via a private driveway serving just three homes, with a cedar-clad car port, a front garden and a private courtyard garden. Internally the home is fully complete; externally, the plot is in the final stages of being landscaped.
At the heart of the home is a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining room with living space, where a vaulted ceiling creates a wonderful sense of light and volume. From here a hallway, passing a useful utility room, leads through to the sleeping accommodation: a principal bedroom with its own en-suite shower room, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom. Underfloor heating runs throughout, economically powered by an air source heat pump, making this as efficient to run as it is lovely to live in.
Wartnaby itself is a small, peaceful village lying around four miles north of Melton Mowbray, the market town known as the Rural Capital of Food, while neighbouring Ab Kettleby offers a public house, village hall and primary school. An hourly bus service runs through to Melton Mowbray, Bingham, West Bridgford, Nottingham and Oakham, and the nearby A46 and A606 give easy access to the wider road network. Schooling is particularly well catered for, with John Fernley College in Melton Mowbray and independent options including Ratcliffe College, Oakham School and the Loughborough Schools Foundation all within easy reach.
