SITUATION

Cotterstock is a picturesque village, known for its timeless rural charm. It is a small village with a close-knit community and an abundance of historic character.
The village is notable for its thatched cottages, stone houses, and unspoilt countryside views, offering a sense of traditional English village life. At its heart stands St. Andrew’s Church, a Grade I listed building dating back to the 12th century. The River Nene nearby provides scenic walking routes and opportunities for birdwatching, making the village popular for nature enthusiasts.

Cotterstock is a sought-after semi-rural village located just two miles north of Oundle, a charming market town on the River Nene. Oundle boasts a historic centre with fine period architecture, a range of independent shops, boutiques, cafés, and a Waitrose. Oundle School, a prestigious co-educational day and boarding school, is at the heart of the town. Further excellent independent schools can be found nearby in Stamford, Oakham, and Uppingham, alongside well-regarded state schooling locally.

Transport links are excellent, with direct trains from Peterborough to London King’s Cross in approximately 50 minutes, and easy access to the A14 and A1(M).

DESCRIPTION


Built in the early 1990s, the property has been thoughtfully updated in recent years, including a stylish new kitchen and bathroom, new flooring, the installation of a wood-burning stove, French windows in the sitting room, and an efficient air-source heat pump.
Deceptively spacious behind its modest frontage, the property offers light-filled single-storey living with a versatile layout. Character details such as exposed beams combine with a neutral décor to create a warm and inviting interior.
The welcoming entrance begins with an inner porch that opens into a bright and spacious hallway, setting the tone for the home. From here, a useful cloakroom/W.C. and fitted cupboards provide practicality and additional storage.
At the heart of the home lies the kitchen, a contemporary and stylish space with Quartz worktops and integrated Smeg appliances, including an induction hob, twin ovens, and a warming drawer. A central island with integrated breakfast bar creates a sociable hub at the centre of the room, while limestone flooring underfoot adds a touch of elegance. Dual-aspect windows to the front and side flood the space with natural light, making it an inviting setting for both everyday living and entertaining.
The generous 25ft living room is a true highlight of the home. Two sets of French doors open directly onto the garden terrace, framing wonderful views of the surrounding countryside and blending indoor and outdoor living seamlessly. A modern wood-burning stove forms a striking centrepiece, offering warmth and comfort, while exposed timbers add character and charm.
The principal bedroom is positioned to enjoy far-reaching views over the garden and paddock beyond. It adjoins the contemporary family bathroom which features a sleek four-piece suite, with a Lusso solid stone bath, Grohe fittings, and a spacious walk-in shower.
Further along the hallway a guest bedroom, currently used as a dressing room, provides flexible accommodation to suit changing needs. A further double bedroom, located near the kitchen, benefits from dual-aspect windows and is currently configured as a home office.
Along the hallway, a further study offers a versatile workspace with distinctive touches, including a port-hole style window.
Completing the layout, the utility room sits next to the study and provides access to both the garden and the integral double garage. This area, together with the substantial loft (equipped with power and lighting), presents exciting potential for reconfiguration or conversion, subject to the necessary consents.

OUTSIDE

The property is approached via an electrically operated gated gravel driveway, providing extensive off-road parking alongside the integral double garage. There is also a car charging point, and additional on-street parking if required. To the rear, the garden is mainly laid to lawn with mature planting, a recently modernised and generously sized decked dining terrace offers spectacular views to the surrounding countryside.
Set in the heart of the picturesque village of Cotterstock, Shenavall is a detached bungalow that enjoys a wonderful position backing onto open countryside with far-reaching rural views
