UNEXPECTEDLY BACK ON THE MARKET...Quaint cottage living comes to the quieter side of Uppingham, at Queen's Cottage. For a charming cottage home where historic features combine with modern convenience and market town amenities, Queen's Cottage beckons.

HISTORIC LINKS .
Encapsulating the charm of the 1800s, this Grade II listed, stone built cottage was originally owned by the well-known carpenter Teddy Toon, who lends his name to this private collection of charming homes in Toon's Yard.

Step under a stone archway, and through the prettily painted secure gates where Indian stone and brick pathways guide you through the south-facing communal courtyard garden and on to each of the five cosy cottages.

HERITAGE FEATURES .
Arrive at the half-glazed wooden front door of Queen's Cottage which opens into an inner entrance hallway, where a convenient cloakroom is on hand. Note the mixture of traditional latches and brass doorknobs throughout the home, a whimsical feature reflecting the organic evolution of the home

COMFORTING QUIRKS; CONTEMPORARY CONVENIENCE .
Light streams in through a deep bay window in the dining kitchen, framing views out over the comings and goings of the high street beyond. Sprinkle colourful cushions in the wide windowsill to create a cosy seating area. Solid oak flooring retains the rustic rhythm of the home.

Soft sage cabinetry, gently lit by under cabinet lighting, provides plentiful storage with integrated appliances.

A latched door opens to provide a handy storage space. Add ambience to your relaxation and dining: a Sonos music system is integrated with speakers in the ceiling above, and throughout the home.

ELEVATED LIVING .
Returning to the entrance hallway, note the exposed stone wall as you ascend the pitched staircase, curving round like a fairy tale tower to the first floor.

Emerge into the sitting room, where sash bay windows deliver light in whilst capturing the daily life of Uppingham. A rear window frames views over the colourful courtyard below. Fresh minimalist decor and exposed stone harmonises with rustic touches like the brick feature, ornamental fireplace with cast iron surround.

REST, RELAX AND UNWIND .
Step up to discover two bedrooms, the first nestled to the front, and currently utilised as a study with views out over the street below.

Slip through from the landing to the contemporary shower room, tiled in white with sparkling chrome fittings.

Next, peacefully positioned overlooking the pretty communal courtyard is the second bedroom with space for a double bed and high ceiling above. Rest and refresh in this cosy room.

GARDEN RETREAT .
Share the load when it comes to outdoor living. This pretty courtyard garden is tended by the residents of the cottages. Gravelled areas are home to pots brimming with colour and foliage, with stone pathways wending between the areas. Why not dine al fresco or enjoy a morning coffee and sit back and soak up the birdsong?

WHAT THE OWNERS LOVE... .
"We're so lucky to own a piece of history. We love the character of the cottage and the enclosed communal garden is an oasis of tranquillity, yet we're only moments' walk from the centre of the market town - a trip to the local bakery for their fresh bread is an absolute must."
