About this property

Summary

Cradled within a peaceful patch of countryside just a pebble’s throw from Oakham, this heart-stirring, honey-coloured cottage found in Rutland is cosy and charming, spacious and sophisticated, graceful, fun and confident without once losing sight of its delightful tradition. This is a property that celebrates all its character and quirks from the outset in a way that means The Old School House of Knossington can proffer a divine escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Space

Originally two cottages, the downstairs has been opened up to create a bright and comforting home-away-from, the combination of an Aga and modern-oven making this a chef’s dream, while the living room, snug, study and south-facing courtyard create a satisfying ambience that each guest can revel in as they amble from room to room in total tranquility. We can also provide a HOT TUB for your stay so that you relax in the courtyard and enjoy an evening under the stars.

The upstairs, by contrast, remains divided into two separate cottages, with each side accessed by its own staircase in a way that feels quaint, charming and surprisingly practical. Split evenly with one double and one twin on each side of the house, as well as a bathroom, you get to enjoy an enhanced sense of escapism the moment you retreat to your boudoir, the sweet soundtrack of birdsong gently dancing in from the outside.

Experiences: Whether you want to explore the relaxing lakes of Rutland or indulge in some serious pampering at an award-winning spa, there are a bunch of hidden gems to discover on your doorstep:

Really Relax: Not far away is a paradise known to the locals as Stapleford Park, an award-winning spa that takes luxury pampering to a whole new level. Wander around the landscaped gardens, drop into the quaint little tearoom, spend the day at the spa or take on the championship golf course – that’s how to spend the day at this dreamy country house.

Wildlife Wander: Spanning over 4,200 acres of open countryside, Rutland Water is an outdoor escape like no other and home to one of the largest artificial lakes in Europe. Whether you want a gentle stroll beneath the sunshine, a scenic cycle ride through the nature reserve or an adrenaline-fuelled day on the water, you mustn't miss out on this special place.

"Fine Dining: Something for everyone. That’s the dish of the day with a beautiful 18th Century, ivy-clad pub hiding in plain sight right across the road for a fun and atmospheric dinner date. Otherwise we recommend a visit to Hambleton Hall for a spot of sophisticated dining as you tuck into the dishes of a Michelin-starred chef in an
award-winning restaurant."

We are also very close to LadyWood Estate and Oakham School!

The Old School House was originally two cottages which have been knocked through on the ground floor to comprise a kitchen, a living dining area with Sky TV, a further snug with Sky TV, a study with table football, a recently refurbished and brand new downstairs shower and WC, utility room and private south facing courtyard garden.

Upstairs is still divided into two and each side is accessed by two separate staircases which offers great flexibility for accommodation. The main part of the house offers two bedrooms, one twin, one double and a recently refurbished upstairs bathroom with shower. The other side offers two bedrooms, one twin, one double with use of the downstairs shower room. There is good on street parking outside the house.

We can also offer extras for your stay including hot tub hire, our private dining experience or a chauffeur service! (please note these do have an additional charge)
