Description

Stunning period cottage set in the centre of its own land in a secluded and private location

Description

Keepers Cottage is a charming five-bedroom residential property nestled in the serene countryside of Aunby. Part of the land falls into the county of Rutland while the cottage sits within the county of Lincolnshire. This idyllic home is accessed via a private driveway, ensuring peace and privacy for its residents with two gate houses at the entrance to the cottage.

Sits centrally within an expansive 131 acres of land, Keepers Cottage offers a diverse landscape that includes delightful woodlands, beautifully maintained formal gardens and productive arable land. Adjacent to the cottage is an annex with living space and bathroom, that offers scope for development to a self-contained living space.

The cottage has been partly refurbished following a leak within the last two years, the property has retained character throughout and subject to planning could be extended to increase the size.

Keepers Cottage is situated outside Stamford with excellent road connection to A1 to the north and south. The property is positioned centrally within its land with beautiful views over the woodland and pasture.

The property is approached from the public road down a private drive leading to a parking area adjacent to the cottage past the two gate houses. These are currently used for general storage but offer scope for a variety of uses going forward.

The cottage is constructed from stone and under a collyweston tile roof and has recently been partly refurbished, following water damage inside the house, however, it requires modernisation throughout. The property offers scope for expansion, subject to the necessary planning consents being obtained, to enhance its accommodation and excellent position.

The entrance hall leads through to the large kitchen, with a pantry cupboard, and is the focal point of the house. The sitting room accessed off the entrance hall, benefits from an open fire. The dining room is at the rear of the house via the entrance hall.

The first floor is accessed via two separate staircases, either from the kitchen or sitting room. On the first floor there are five bedrooms, with one bedroom having an en-suite and two family bathrooms.

Beyond the gate houses and the boundary wall is a formal lawned garden with a patio area which is excellent for entertaining during the summer. To the east of the property is a small orchard with summer house.

Adjacent to the cottage is an annexe which has a living space and bathroom. The annexe could be further developed, subject to the necessary consents, to be a fully contained annexe.

At the rear of the property, there’s a double garage and potting shed, along with a workshop and greenhouse attached to the house.

The land extends to approximately 131.79 acres (53.33 hectares) in total. Over 71 acres of the land is managed woodland, with 28.21 acres of arable and pasture. The land is divided by the public highway to the south, around parts of the land the boundary is marked with a traditional stone wall.

The arable land is in a short term grass ley and could be converted back to arable production should the purchasers desires, there are areas of permanent pasture located within the woodland. The land offers scope to run a flock of sheep or herd of cattle, or alternatively the arable land could be let to a local farmer for combinable cropping.

The woodland wraps around the property and has been actively managed with sporting as the key driver. Rides have been cut through the woodland for timber extraction but also for sporting purposes. Some areas of the woodland have recently been thinned and other areas will require thinning in due course creating opportunities for income to be generated.
