| Church Farm at Exton is a testimony to the
character and quality for which Wynbrook Homes have become
renowned. A superb development of two 5 bedroom stone built
executive homes, two 4 bedroom and three 3 bedroom homes
of exceptional character and quality, set towards the edge
of the beautiful village of Exton. The new homes are sympathetic
to the existing architectural style of the village, all
the time adding to its character.
The historic stone village of Exton is just off the
main A1 Great North Road, and exactly 100 miles north
of London and set in the heart of the stunning un-spoilt
countryside of Rutland, the smallest county in England.
Although, only a small village Exton benefits from
excellent local facilities, including a post office
which is open five days a week and a fantastic eatery.
The Fox and Hounds is highly recommended for both lunches
and evening meals.
For those wanting to explore the village there is
a circular walk and cycle route, which explores the
quaint village and historic Old Hall estate of Exton,which
has been home to the Earls of Gainsborough for over
400 years.

Exton also has a busy social calendar with
events such as craft fairs and car rallies at nearby Exton
Hall and the village never fails to impress with their
Annual Street Market – entertainment from Morris
Dancers to Jazz musicians maintains regular crowds and
admiring gazes from the onlookers.
At the heart of the county is Rutland Water,
at 3100 acres it is western Europe’s largest
man made lake and has a fantastic reputation
for all water based recreation. The surrounding
countryside offers further opportunity to enjoy
leisure and wildlife pursuits, so If you take an interest in trout
fishing, bird watching, sailing, cycling, or wildlife nature reserves
then Rutland will have you enthralled.
The area is renowned for fantastic schooling
with Oakham, Uppingham, Oundle and Stamford all
within easy reach, as are the preparatory schools
that serve these. State schooling is available

then Peterborough is approximately 24 miles from
Exton and Nottingham only 28.

and hosts one of the main shopping centres. People

markets and the blend of unique boutiques and specialist
shops.
Nearby Stamford, once proclaimed as ‘the finest
stone town in England’ was declared a conservation
area in 1967. The town is delightful and renowned for
