Hambleton

Hambleton is one of the most sought-after and unspoilt villages in Rutland located on a peninsula surrounded by Rutland Water.

The village contains an array of delightful period houses and cottages, and the local facilities include the village hall, a 12th century church, a public house and an award-winning hotel and restaurant, Hambleton Hall.

There is a view across to Burley House from the north side of the village, and from the south one can see across to the sailing club at Edith Weston on the far shore. The track around the peninsula along the lakeside takes walkers and cyclists through bluebell woods.

Oakham is about three miles away, and there all main amenities are available, including a wide range of shops, produce markets, medical facilities, library, etc.

The schools in the area are good with a range of local authority schools in Oakham catering for children of most ages together with private schools in Oakham, Uppingham and Stamford.

For commuters, there is a railway station in the town with regular services to Leicester, Birmingham and Peterborough. At Peterborough there are frequent connections to London Kings Cross taking approximately 50 minutes. The area benefits from good transport links with easy access to a number of centres including Leicester, Peterborough, Corby, Kettering, Nottingham, Melton Mowbray and Stamford. The A1 Great North Road by Stamford feeds into the motorway system of England.

Leisure facilities in Rutland are varied and plentiful with the usual clubs for cricket, golf, rugby, tennis, bowls football, as well as bird watching, cycling and water sailing at Rutland Water.
