Occupying a prominent ground floor position within the distinguished Grade II* listed Stocken Hall, Manor Gates is a beautifully presented two-bedroom apartment, exuding timeless character alongside stylish contemporary finishes. Enjoying a peaceful rural setting in the heart of Rutland, this unique residence offers luxury accommodation and benefits from private entry as well as access via the building's central grand stairwell.
Stocken Hall, originally constructed in the 17th century and sympathetically converted in 1999 into just eleven individual dwellings, retains much of its historic charm. Manor Gates is set centrally within the mansion and enjoys a fine south-facing aspect, with views across the landscaped communal grounds and surrounding countryside. Period features such as tall sash windows, decorative cornicing, high ceilings, and original Minton tiled flooring are tastefully complemented by a refined interior palette, modern kitchen, and sleek bathrooms.
Accessed via its own private entrance, the property opens into a feature entrance hall and elegant boot room, with bespoke floor-to-ceiling cabinetry for excellent storage. From here, the generous central dining hallway offers a welcoming introduction to the main living spaces. The sitting room is particularly impressive with its elegant proportions and abundant natural light and also provides secondary access to the mansion's formal shared hall.
The kitchen is well-equipped with solid wood cabinetry, quartz work surfaces, a freestanding electric cooker, and integrated space for both a dishwasher and washer/dryer. Two well-proportioned double bedrooms are located off the main hallway, including a master bedroom with a deep south-facing bay window, built-in wardrobes, and an en-suite shower room. The second bedroom, with charming full height windows and window seating, is served by the main bathroom, finished to an equally high standard.
Externally, Manor Gates enjoys access to approximately four acres of beautifully landscaped communal grounds, featuring mature lawns, gravel walkways, and formal planting. The property benefits from off-road parking, conveniently located beside the private entrance, uninterrupted views across open fields and a private garden storage shed (5ft X 7ft) within the grounds. This is a truly special opportunity to acquire a unique and substantial residence within one of Rutland's most prestigious country house conversions.
