Are you looking for a period stone-built cottage with a separate office in a pretty village? Set in the heart of the village of Harringworth in the Welland Valley, near to Stamford & Rutland, stands this enchanting home with 4 double bedrooms plus its own annexe/studio, enclosed garden & driveway.

A WARM WELCOME .
Set in the Northamptonshire village of Harringworth and on the borders of Rutland county, Water Trough Cottage is a home to be enjoyed all year round, where the days can be dedicated to the pleasure of long walks and entertaining. As you approach the home, it's hard not to admire the stone-built character of the exterior as you pull into the gated drive. A unique water trough also adorns the front of the separate annex and gives the home its name.

STEP INSIDE .
The reception hallway leads into an impressive sitting room with a lovely wood burner and exposed timber ceiling beams. A sweet window with a shutter and exposed stonework adds a romantic touch, and French doors open onto the rear terrace, which is ideal come summertime. This a fantastic family space that can handle a range of sofas and furniture and offers a great place to congregate for a casual party.

A second reception room, with a view out to the lane is currently used as a snug. Alternatively, this room would make the perfect playroom for the little ones, home office or a formal dining room.

A SOCIABLE HUB .
The bright kitchen boasts a newly installed central island; a great space to prepare culinary creations or gather with friends. A handy space makes an ideal spot to pop some stools.

With several windows and underfloor heating, this heart of the home stays bright and warm year-round - just what you want for any family occasion.

SOAK AND SLEEP .
From the kitchen, the stairs lead up to a bright landing, which, with the addition of a chair or two and a bookcase, could be your own little book nook. The principal bedroom has recently been reconfigured to incorporate your very own spa; what better place to light your candles, fill the roll top bath with bubbles and unwind. One window overlooks the pretty garden while the other grants a gorgeous scenic backdrop across to the church and Harringworth Viaduct.

Bedroom two is large and bright, with a dual aspect, and bedrooms three and four are also great-sized doubles.

The family bathroom has a separate shower cubicle, preserving the bath for bubbly evenings either washing the children or enjoying a luxurious soak.

AN IDYLLIC SETTING
.
With views from the master bedroom and positioned on the edge of the village, the Welland Viaduct (known locally as 'The Harringworth Viaduct'), occasionally wrapped in ethereal mist, the cushioned silence of a landscape padded with snow or established in the haze of a summer's day beckons and calls for adventure and discovery. There are also many paths for exploring and access to open countryside all around for energetic walks or gentle evening strolls.

A few miles away you will find the charming market towns of Uppingham, Oakham and Stamford. The nearest mainline railway station is Corby just under 7 miles away.

OUT AND ABOUT
.
Outside, a large enclosed garden lawn - with its own summer house and store - offers space for kids to play and an opportunity for keen gardeners to get stuck in. There is also a delightful terrace for those summer morning breakfasts and BBQs.

Across the driveway, you will discover a quiet purpose-built annexe which makes a useful office/studio with a separate WC. A cracking spot to focus on work or a creative project away from the hustle and bustle of family life while still being near the comfort of home.
