Traditional character. Contemporary living. A new chapter in the heart of Rutland.
A New Chapter For The Old Plough
In the heart of the Rutland village of Braunston, an exciting new chapter is unfolding at the former Old Plough pub. Thoughtfully reimagined as a collection of just four individual homes, The Plough Yard brings together the character and craftsmanship of traditional village architecture with the comforts of modern living. One of two newly built homes within the development, Harrow House has been designed to sit comfortably within its historic surroundings. Constructed in local ironstone and brick beneath a natural slate roof, its timeless exterior reflects the architectural character of the village, while inside, approximately 1,380 square feet of accommodation offers a thoughtfully arranged home for contemporary life.
Designed For Everyday Living
At the heart of Harrow House, the bespoke, handmade kitchen dining room with quartz worktops creates a welcoming setting for everything from relaxed family meals to evenings spent entertaining. Bifold doors open onto the garden, providing a seamless connection to the outside, while the sitting room offers a more peaceful space in which to unwind. A separate reception room provides the flexibility to work from home or create a dedicated playroom for young children, complemented by a separate laundry room and ground floor cloakroom. Together, these practical spaces ensure that the everyday is as carefully considered as the more sociable moments.
And So To Bed
Upstairs, three bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, including a generous principal suite with its own shower room. Two further double bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, completing a home that balances sociable living with space for privacy. Behind its traditional exterior, Harrow House benefits from an energy-efficient air source heat pump and underfloor heating to the ground floor and bathrooms, bringing modern comfort to a home designed with longevity in mind.
Crafted With Care
Created by Kaybee Developments, a family-run developer with a particular affinity for Rutland’s traditional architecture, The Plough Yard reflects a considered approach to building. Working with local materials and their own skilled masons and joiners, Kaybee combines time-honoured craftsmanship with the advantages of modern construction. With just four homes forming this distinctive village development, Harrow House presents a rare opportunity to enjoy the ease of a newly built home in a setting with an established sense of place.
