Old Well Cottage Printable Particulars

A unique country cottage located on Post Office Lane in the quiet village of Lyndon, Rutland. Old Well appears on 17th century maps!

Constructed from attractive sandstone with a thatch and Collyweston slate roofing combination. Inside, many period features remain, including exposed oak beams, tiled and timber flooring, and a lovely feature fireplace. Previously extended and refurbished throughout, this is principally a three-bedroom property, with the study providing a proven fourth-room solution.

Those looking to enjoy time outside will find the enclosed garden a delight. In addition, ample space is available for access and parking.

This property is equally suitable for professionals or families.

Walkaround

Access the property on foot off Post Office Lane or enter with a vehicle through the main gates from the village road, this leads into a gravel driveway that expands into a parking area with turning siding.

The spacious entrance room, with WC, provides the perfect place to de-clobber before proceeding into the main cottage. Moving inside, the first stop on the tour brings you to the brightly lit kitchen and dining area with views out across the extensive garden. Oak-fitted units incorporate a built-in double larder with fridge/freezer, a professionally installed electric range cooker is also included, and there’s a tiled floor throughout. Most tenants put a farmhouse-style table in this room for day-to-day dining. Next is the sitting room, located just beyond the original front door entrance area, providing a comfortable carpeted environment featuring a prominent oak beam, window seat, and fireplace. Then, moving on to the timber floored more 'formal' dining room, a light and airy space similar in practical size to the sitting room; it is worth noting that many past tenants have instead used this as a secondary sitting room. Lastly on the ground floor is the study, a cosy room previously utilised as an office and more recently as a fourth bedroom, thus suiting various family requirements, guests or home working.

To reach the first floor, return to the original entrance area and ascend the stairway to the attractive carpeted landing area with exposed stone chimney breast, oak roof beams and cleverly engineered storage spaces. Straight ahead is the family bathroom, and beyond that is bedroom two, the largest of the three, with a lovely timber floor and built-in cupboard. The single bedroom three is found just off the landing, and at the far end, bedroom one has an en-suite and a great view across the garden and grazing paddocks beyond.

Outside, the large mature garden is afforded privacy by the surrounding hedging, with various trees also providing shelter from warm sunny days. Planted borders offer seasonal colour, and established shrubbery enhances the overall effect. Plenty of lawn space allows for play or relaxation, and the paved area provides a solid dining area. There are even some raised beds for growing produce, and how about harvesting grapes from the productive vine? Further storage provision is available externally in a locked cupboard next to the entrance room, and a summer house and shed also remain on-site in a usable condition.

Services

The property has a modern oil-fired central heating and hot water installation with radiators in every room. In the kitchen, there's an electric range cooker and built-in fridge-freezer. Located outside is a storage tank for the heating oil.

Lyndon benefits from fibre broadband internet with download speeds typically available up to around 50Mbps.
