High Street, Ketton, PE9

Luxury living comes to rural Rutland at Tambre House. Hidden behind mature trees in the sought-after village of Ketton, experience the romance of an exclusive country retreat reimagined for the modern era, with heated swimming pool, lake views and over an acre of glorious gardens.

A Sense of Arrival

Elegance is embedded into the design of Tambre House, showcased by the reception hall, where limestone tiles, neutral décor and light abound. Warmth emanates from underfloor heating.

Modern Family Flow

From laid back weekend brunches to the liveliest of family celebrations and occasions, the open-plan family dining kitchen is the beating heart of Tambre House. Equipped with all the essentials, complete with a blue electric Aga, premium Siemens, Miele and Fisher & Paykel appliances and an instant boiling water tap, this bespoke fitted kitchen is designed to ease the everyday tasks. Keeping the family together while creating zoned spaces focused around functionality, one person can prepare meals while another relaxes in front of the Neptune media unit in the seating area that overlooks the pool and lake beyond through bifolding doors. Tucked to the side, savour the views along with your evening meal at the dining table.

Wine, Dine and Unwind

For larger celebrations or quiet evenings, the formal dining and sitting rooms work in perfect harmony, joined by a double-sided, glass-fronted fire creating warmth and effortless connection between both spaces. Long summer evenings will see parties spill out onto the terrace from the family games room, while in cooler months, it’s the perfect space to gather together for movie nights. Elegantly displayed behind glass, the bespoke, airconditioned wine store makes a striking feature beneath the staircase in the reception hall. Beyond, the adjoining bar provides the perfect setting to uncork a favourite vintage, with plantation shutters helping to keep the space refreshingly cool throughout the warmer months. Also off the reception hall lies a study with bespoke fitted cabinetry and desk space for two, a large laundry room with access to the garden and a guest cloakroom. The oak staircase leads up to a gallery landing, overlooking the garden and pool, to the main first floor landing.

Boutique Retreats

Sanctuary awaits in the principal suite, separated from the main landing by its own large dressing room with fitted wardrobes, where light streams in through windows overlooking the leafy surrounds. Spiral stairs lead up to a second dressing room, also ideal as a reading snug or study. Soothe your senses with a soak in the freestanding bathtub in the capacious en suite, with separate walk-in wet room shower and twin wash basins inset within a marble-topped vanity unit. With its high vaulted ceiling and triple aspect windows, the principal bedroom is bright and airy, with far reaching views out over the gardens beyond.

Be Our Guest

From the landing, stairs pass another gallery landing providing beautiful garden views before continuing on to the second floor where you’ll discover two further sizeable bedrooms, with builtin storage, en suite facilities and elevated views out over the glorious grounds. The guest bedroom, with built-in wardrobes, features its own spacious en suite while the remaining bedrooms on this floor share a luxurious bathroom with freestanding bathtub and separate shower.

Practical Luxury

Retracing your steps through the kitchen, a light and bright inner hallway leads to Tambre House’s final bedroom suite. Thoughtfully sequestered away from the main sleeping accommodation, it offers excellent flexibility, with clear potential to form the heart of a private annexe whether for guests, older children or multigenerational living. Completing the ground floor, the entrance hall offers access to life’s practicalities; the bespoke fitted boot room, cloakroom, ‘pet room’ with stable door access out, and plant room. Begin or end your day at Tambre House with a workout in the bespoke gym, with mirrored wall and courtyard views out over the deep pink roses through tall, powder coated aluminium windows.

A Slice of Paradise

Entertain, explore, breathe deeply and exhale in the grounds enveloping Tambre House. From the elegant front courtyard with its charming roses and spherical sculptural centrepiece to the rolling rear lawns, there is space to unwind, enjoy ball games and even host garden parties beneath the shady boughs of the mature trees. The terraces make the most of the views, while the woodland and lake beyond enhance the sense of peace and privacy. In summer, round off the afternoon with a few laps of the heated 14-metre outdoor pool, before stepping out onto the sun-warmed terrace. In the evening, throw open the bifold doors to the oakframed pool house, settle beneath the sheltered veranda with a chilled bottle of something sparkling and admire the views over the LED lit pool as dusk falls over the lake beyond. Complete with a changing room and shower, every detail has been designed to keep life by the pool effortless.
