Located on the crest of a hill, the picturesque village of Pickwell is the perfect rural retreat, with views of open countryside to the front aspect and mature parkland and paddocks to the rear. A distinctive landmark on the local landscape is the Grade I listed All Saints Church which features a 15th century tower resplendent with four gargoyles, lancet windows and a crenellated parapet. Pickwell’s rural location combines all the benefits of countryside living with ease of access to thriving market towns. Idyllic open spaces abound, including Burrough Hill country park, which lies only 3 miles from the village. With a well-preserved Iron Age hill fort on the summit of a steep-sided promontory, it offers superb views from its grassy top, across arable land and villages beyond. The country park at Burrough Hill adjoins the Leicestershire Round – a 100 mile long footpath encircling the county. The award winning Gates Garden Centre and Farm Shop is a popular attraction only 2.5 miles from the development. On site, the Hambleton Butchery supplies locally sourced meat, a range of fresh produce and essentials, including organic milk from a herd of cows that graze in the surrounding fields. A little further afield, Rutland Water entices locals and visitors from far and wide for walking and cycling, fishing and watersports. A man-made reservoir located in 4,200 acres of open countryside, there is also a large nature reserve managed by the Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust and home to the Rutland Osprey Project. Life in Pickwell affords home-owners all the benefits of relaxed country living, with easy access to local towns and cities including Oakham, Melton Mowbray, Stamford, Leicester and Nottingham. And closer to home there are plenty of local walking routes and open countryside to explore.
