Nestled in an idyllic position, just a stone's throw from Rutland Water, this unlisted cottage boasts a wealth of charm and character throughout. Built from local limestone under a Collyweston roof, this charming double-fronted home offers surprisingly generous living spaces, complemented by a well-proportioned enclosed rear garden and the tranquil view of St. Mary's Church spire.

step inside
Entering the home, you are greeted by a wonderful open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area, which is bathed in natural light from the bi-fold doors leading to the garden, offering a delightful vista of St. Mary’s Church spire. The sitting area, to the front of the property, is a particularly attractive space, with wood-effect flooring underfoot, and a handsome fireplace that forms a wonderful focal point to the room.

Beyond the sitting area, the spacious kitchen/dining area awaits, offering a range of shaker style wall and floor standing cabinetry together with integrated appliances including a cooker, hob, extractor fan, fridge-freezer, and dishwasher. There is further cabinetry extending to a large island/breakfast bar, complemented by solid wooden work surfaces. Bi-fold doors open to a delightful garden which really allows the outside in.

Overlooking the front elevation we find a useful second reception room, ideal for a home office, snug, or playroom, adding further flexibility to the accommodation.

The property also benefits from a utility room, along with a guest cloakroom featuring a WC, wash basin, and a large storage cupboard, perfect for coats and shoes.
