A substantial manor house set in quite possibly the most idyllic position on the shore of Rutland Water. This Grade II listed property dates to 1610, here long before the 1970s reservoir construction!
Facing south from the Hambleton Peninsular, Old Hall enjoys magnificent views from the private enclosed grounds that extend to more than an acre.

Old Hall Survives!
Built in 1610 during the Jacobean era, this distinctive manor house constructed from local sandstone has a Collyweston Slate roof and matching outbuilding.
Old Hall now stands prominently on the shoreline of Rutland Water, which when created by the damming of the twin valleys of the River Gwash back in the mid-1970s, was the largest artificial water body in Europe.
The settlements of Nether and Middle Hambleton did not survive the flooding, however, with most dwellings and farm buildings demolished as part of the development. But the manor, fortuitously, sat just on the high-water line, remaining preserved to this day.
As part of the Lyndon Estate, Old Hall in more recent times has been a home for members of the Conant Family and various long-term tenants. It is hoped this connection with the past continues providing an appreciation for the aesthetic and architectural brilliance of the time.
Walkaround
The house itself has two stories, which despite undergoing renovations over the years, retains original features including oak beams, along with stone and tiled flooring in the principal rooms. More recently, in addition to a complete redecoration, a bespoke kitchen has been fitted, the central heating and hot water system replaced to be much more energy efficient, and each bathroom has been refurbished including the installation of a new shower room.
On the ground floor, each main room enjoys a south facing view into the garden and beyond. The farmhouse kitchen has handmade units with oak countertops, and the four-oven Aga provides constant warmth. In addition to the comfortable sitting room with its log burning stove, there is also a snug, the perfect sanctuary for enjoying some quiet downtime! The drawing room is next, offering further day-to-day living space when not used for entertainment purposes. And finally, the warmth of the ‘oak room’ is immediately apparent, with a lovely fireplace and period features, so often a setting for dining with family and friends. This floor also includes a cloakroom and pantry.
Take the grand staircase to the first floor where there are three bedrooms, two with en-suites, and a further bathroom. Enjoy the views across the reservoir and beyond from the balcony. Then, moving up to the second/attic floor, there are three additional bedrooms and a bathroom. If not utilised for family or guests, these bedrooms are equally suitable for other full or part-time uses (previously purposed: dressing room, games room, playroom, study).
The extensive professionally landscaped grounds and enclosed gardens provide a now matured, relaxing environment, that is also straightforward to maintain.
