A MADE TO MEASURE HOME TO SUIT A GROWING FAMILY… .

As soon as you arrive, you are immediately aware that a very special home awaits. Drive through the stone pillared entrance and, as your wheels crunch on the deep gravel driveway, there is plenty of space to turn and park here or you could put your car away within your detached garage.



As you alight from your car, pause for a while beneath the oak beamed storm porch and appreciate the creamy limestone-built home with chunky oak columns that frame the front door and entrance. Once inside, you are immediately welcomed into a light, bright and spacious entrance hallway. Throw off your coats and shoes and store them in the cupboard. To your right, a cloakroom is conveniently situated here to freshen up before making your way into the home.



LIVING THE HIGH-TECH HIGH-LIFE… .

Step to your left and enter the open plan kitchen diner - a truly breath-taking, contemporary, yet sociable kitchen that really is the heart of the home. Sleek, glossy, white, handle-less cupboards and units are set beneath an opulent, sparkling 'Volga Blue Granite' worktop with a contrasting circular oak breakfast bar positioned at one end. Depending on the occasion; flick on the blue feature lights which complement the features of the kitchen and reflect in the polished granite surface. Friends and family can seat themselves at the bespoke oak seating area whilst you lovingly prepare a home-cooked meal without feeling excluded from the fun, chatter and laughter.



Professionally designed and expertly fitted to make entertaining easy, the very latest innovative appliances have been included here with a refreshment sink fitted with boiling water and cool water dispenser tap, a Siemens coffee machine and a large Siemens induction hob. Additional top of the range Siemens appliances include a fridge and separate freezer and after the prep' work is done, there is also a bank of three Siemens ovens and an integrated dishwasher.



The room widens at the far end of the kitchen and opens into a relaxed seating area that's the perfect spot for children's playtime or to recline and unwind at the end of the day with a magazine and a great coffee. In the warmer summer months, cast open the French doors and step down onto the terrace area and garden beyond.



To keep your kitchen chore and clutter free, the laundry room is positioned near the bedrooms and fitted with plenty of storage cupboards and a sink. You will also find a further storage cupboard conveniently located across the hallway.

FOR NIGHTS IN AND ENTERTAINING … .

Time now to explore the rest of the resplendent reception rooms. Open the double oak and glazed doors and make your way down four wide carpeted stairs and step into your impressive sitting room. With its dramatic high ceiling and bi-fold doors that open the width of the room, you'll find the space is filled with lots of lovely, natural daylight. Fitted with a discreet, automatic projector screen; movie nights here will be so much fun.



To celebrate special occasions and for more formal entertaining, a large dining room can be reached through double doors from the sitting room. A neat study space is also conveniently positioned here.



BED, BATH AND BEYOND… .

Toll Cottage offers you all the private space you and your family deserve with a spectacular bedroom wing. Here, four very generously sized bedrooms, each with their own luxuriously fitted en suites, guarantee there can be no arguments over who gets the best room!



On your right-hand side, you'll discover a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a very striking and impactful en suite with dramatic wall and floor tiling with a gorgeous shower enclosure. Bedroom two has a large picture window with garden views and an en suite shower room fitted with bold, London brick effect tiles. The third double bedroom is positioned at the far end of the home and has fitted cupboards with an en suite bathroom.



And finally, the master bedroom suite is superbly designed to include a run of fitted wardrobes. This large bedroom has two windows with fine garden views and French doors that lead out onto the raised terrace garden. Water and electricity connections are fitted outdoors here should you want to add your own hot tub! The en suite bathroom is truly spectacular with deep whirlpool Jacuzzi bath with remote control, a large wash hand basin with vanity unit and an enclosed spacious shower with double waterfall feature. Just add your fluffiest of towels, light some scented candles and your own spa-like sanctuary awaits!

STEP OUTSIDE .

The rear, enclosed, south-west facing garden was professionally designed and landscaped to create a garden with interest, shape and texture with zoned areas perfect for entertaining and relaxing throughout the seasons. The upper terrace has plenty of space to add your own relaxed seating with a barbecue area to the side. In fact, the raised area follows the length of the house, past the French doors by the master bedroom suite - providing the perfect sheltered spot to add your own hot tub! Tiled steps lead down from the terrace to tempt you on to the lawn garden with planted borders and finally, a pretty rose arch completes the garden where a gravel walkway and path directs you to the side gate and onto the front driveway and garage.

OUT AND ABOUT .

The village of Empingham is equidistant to the two most desirable market towns in the area; Stamford and Oakham - and sits on the edge of Rutland Water. Due to its geographical position and community spirit, Empingham is one of the most sought after villages in the area for relocating families with independent schooling in mind - Stamford Endowed Schools (SES), Oakham School, Oundle School and Uppingham School are all within easy striking distance and with very manageable journeys for day pupils. In fact, SES and Oakham School currently offer a privately operated return bus service via Empingham. For preparatory education, there are a number of independent establishments, again within easy reach including Stamford Junior School, Witham Hall Prep' School, Brooke Priory and Copthill School. Empingham also has its own C of E primary school tucked away within the heart of the village.



Empingham enjoys a welcoming and vibrant community organising Open Gardens, church fund raising events and concerts, bonfire night celebrations and where international sports fixtures are screened at the village cricket club, with regular activities and clubs taking place in the village hall on a weekly basis. The village is fortunate to have its own doctors surgery with dispensary and 'Barbara's village store' offers all the essentials, seven days a week.



For countryside lovers, within minutes you can reach Rutland Water and there are many bridleways, footpaths and cycle routes available in the area for all abilities from taking an easy stroll to a more challenging or even competitive pace! Local golf courses include Luffenham Heath, Rutland Water, Burghley Park Golf Club, Greetham Valley Golf Club and Rutland County. At the end of an active day, treat yourselves to a meal at village pub 'The White Horse' where excellent food is served and is a popular choice for local residents and returning visitors to the area.



Many residents commute from Empingham to London on a daily basis utilising the Peterborough to Kings Cross direct service, with typical train journey times of approx.. 45 minutes or via Corby to St. Pancras in just over 1 hour.
