On the edge of Collyweston, a Northamptonshire village synonymous with the stone slate which has been quarried here since the Middle Ages, stands a magnificent country residence with breath-taking views across the Welland Valley over the rolling landscape of Rutland. Set over three floors, the property boasts four reception rooms including an impressive kitchen breakfast room on the ground floor, a superb master suite and three further bedrooms, one with an en suite, on the first floor, and three more bedrooms on the second floor. Outside, the separate games room / studio building, adjoining a double garage, is an extremely beneficial asset and could serve many purposes.

The name Cottage belies the size and stature of this stunning property which was built in the early 1980s for the previous owner using local stone and materials, in a design to capitalise on the surrounding views with a multitude of windows simultaneously flooding the interior with natural light. The traditionally looking house, with its most appealing symmetric facade, is positioned on a slight incline taking advantage of the dramatic rural scenery behind.

Approached through gates within a stone wall and mature trees, an expansive gravel drive has a turning circle and parking in front of the house, which extends through further gates within the grounds where you find the annex and garaging.

Inside the house, the feeling of light and space is attests, “Every single person says ‘Wow’ to a tee, when The sense of luxury extends upstairs where the huge exceptional from the commodious hall and central they walk in the house!

As the owner

Outside, the two storey annex is of the same high quality and immense proportions, filled with light and capturing similar garden and landscape views. “Although we’ve used it as a games room housing a full size snooker table and a big TV screen, the building could work so well for all sorts of other things - maybe for a yoga studio upstairs, or it would make a beautiful beauty salon, even a doctor’s surgery or for a B&B business. There’s so much space out there,” suggests the owner.

The sunny and private garden slopes gently down the escarpment where you can appreciate the superb views. Largely laid to lawn featuring a fine beech tree, it contains a heated swimming pool surrounded by flagstones, accessed down steps from the main, covered terrace directly outside the house. Further steps ascend to a summerhouse which the owner has found a particularly private and tranquil place to sit and relax. A high evergreen hedge, the boundary with next door, has a convenient gate through at the bottom as the neighbours had become friends.

As the owner states, “The house is very well located for schools and shops with Stamford between an eight and ten minute drive, and Uppingham, Corby, Oakham and about twenty minutes. Collyweston has a community shop and a pub.” For commuters, trains to London from Peterborough are currently 45 minutes to Kings Cross but are promised to soon be even faster at 35 minutes, but this house would be absolutely perfect if you want to work from home.
