Main Street, Belmesthorpe, Stamford, Lincolnshire, PE9

If you've been dreaming of a life where character meets comfort in one of Rutland's prettiest villages, then stop scrolling. Waggoners Cottage isn't just a house; it's a lifestyle upgrade. Tucked away in the beautiful village of Belmesthorpe, this stone built cottage offers that "Ewe-nique" blend of historic soul and modern practicalities. Whether it's a quiet morning coffee in your walled garden or a stroll through the village, life here just feels a bit more magical.

Step through the solid wooden front door into a welcoming reception hall that sets the tone for the whole house. Flag stone flooring, wooden doors and internal windows all provide a seamless flow into the rooms beyond. To the left you'll find the sitting room, a welcoming space for the whole family, with an impressive inglenook fireplace to enjoy roaring winter fires and the perfect window seat for the little ones to sit with a book.

Next along is the study, providing space for a desk set-up and even a sofa too - ideal spot for a quiet Zoom call when working from home or even potential for floor to ceiling shelving to offer a library space to read that novel in peace - bliss!

The flagstones lead through to the handy rear lobby which is ideal for taking off those muddy boots after a village walk across the meadows and along the River Gwash. This room leads to the cloakroom and the heart of the home... the dining kitchen.

A spacious dining kitchen offering plenty of room for the family to gather while the chef of the house gets to work. The historic window seat provides the most delightful space for your dining table too.

Head upstairs to find three double bedrooms, meaning no one has to settle for the "small room". The principal bedroom enjoys its own ensuite shower room, while the rest of the family can soak away the day in the family bathroom. Character continues throughout every bedroom with beams, exposed stone, chimney breasts and dormer windows.

Outside, the walled garden is a private oasis. With two circular patio areas, you can follow the sun all day long. And because we know convenience is key, there's a gate leading straight to your off road parking for two cars which is enclosed by raised flower beds.

Belmesthorpe is one of Rutland's little gems. Sitting just outside of Stamford the village was built around a long standing farm house and benefits from views over peaceful protected fields of sheep yet just 3 miles to Stamford's infamous historic town centre. Once one parish, Belmesthorpe shares amenities with Ryhall and therefore within walking distance you have a fantastic village shop and post office with fresh produce too, a renowned primary school, library, park, village hall with many activities, churches and two Ryhall pubs plus The Bluebell in Belmesthorpe itself. The Bluebell is the heart of Belmesthorpe; where community is felt in abundance! Providing themed food nights and quiet local drinking its a real treasure in the heart of the village. Finally we must mention the public pathways and bridal ways that lead through the open spaces of Belmesthorpe providing picturesque walks ideal for dog owners and even a small holding to wander through where you'll meet lamas, alpacas, emus, pigs and rams!
