A truly delightful stone cottage with two double bedrooms, and a small garden, set in the heart of a desirable village, with good access to Oundle, Stamford and Peterborough.

This attractive cottage, built in local limestone
with a Collyweston slate roof is Listed Grade II. It dates from around the late 1600s and was altered around 1770 as it fell into the Duke of Bedford's estate.

Set over two floors, the wonderfully appointed accommodation offers plenty of character and original features, including beamed ceilings with good headroom, and a wonderful inglenook fireplace.

There is a front door, but as with many village properties, the door in daily use is the side door that leads into the kitchen. This is a square room that has been fitted with an extensive range of furniture, with hardwood worksurfaces and inset Butler sink. The Esse range cooker is an attractive and stylish focal point. There is ample space for daily mealtimes and formal dining.

The sitting room is also square and has plenty of original features such as a beamed ceiling and a wonderful inglenook fireplace housing a wood burning stove.

A useful utility cupboard is set to one side and houses the washing machine and tumble dryer.

Stairs rise to the first floor landing that leads toc each of the bedrooms. It also provides access to the well-appointed bathroom, which has wash basin, WC, bath with shower above.

The two double bedrooms have latched doors, wonderful, original wide floor boards and attractive windows. The front bedroom has a range of fitted wardrobes, and the rear bedroom has a pretty window seat.

The cottage faces on to the road, where there is plenty of parking. A drive to the side of the cottage provides access to three other properties. It also leads down to the cottage garden, which is a beautiful, private, fence-enclosed haven with shrubs, a patio and a shed. In the past, this has served as parking for the cottage.
