Church Street, Ryhall, Rutland PE9

Imagine living in a home where the history of the 17th century meets the luxury of the 21st. Nestled in the heart of the sought after village of Ryhall, this isn't just a cottage; it's a masterclass in eclectic design. It's got the beams, it's got the stone, and it's got a "secret garden" vibe that'll make you never want to leave.

You're greeted by a home that feels inviting from the moment you step through the door. The porch provides a space to kick off the shoes and hand up your coat. Stepping into the dining room, a room that offers total flexibility; whether you need a formal setting for Sunday roasts, a dedicated home office or a playroom for the little ones, it fits the bill. From here doors lead out to the garden, into the living room, kitchen and ground floor shower room - a real heart of the home. Spanning the from of the home the living room will really surprise you. It offers enough space to create two distinct areas - perhaps a cosy lounge for movie nights and a peaceful reading corner by the window. Or again it could provide a study or play room space or even the dining space!

The real showstopper is the updated kitchen, where high quality modern finishes sit side by side with original character features such as the internal window to the living room. Just off the kitchen is an additional room used as a wine and coffee room - what a luxury!

Downstairs is completed with a shower room that also doubles up as a utility room without compromising space or style. It is beautiful!

Head upstairs to discover the bedrooms, each bursting with personality and able to accommodate a double bed. The third bedroom is being used as a dressing room, a real treat if you can, and the second bedroom has a fitted workspace providing that flexible work from home facility. You've also got the rare luxury of a second bathroom with a high end family beside the dressing room, so there's no midnight trekking downstairs! 

Step outside to find your own private sanctuary. This garden has that magical "secret garden" vibe, with hidden spaces tucked away to capture the sun at different points throughout the day - providing the perfect spot for a morning coffee or a cheeky evening G&T. To the side of the home is a gravelled area with double gates, the previous owner used this space to park a small car, but with plenty of parking in the square to the front of the property and on St Johns Close to the side the current owners are using it for a potted cottage garden spot and practical bin stores.

Ryhall is one of Rutland's little gems, sitting peacefully amidst the countryside yet far from sleepy; providing several amenities and just 3 miles to Stamford's infamous historic town centre. Once one parish with Belmesthorpe, Ryhall shares amenities such as 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. The Green Dragon is the heart of Ryhall where community is felt in abundance! Providing good quality food, quiet local drinking and even a day time cafe at the back; 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 Ryhall to Belmesthorpe providing picturesque walks ideal for dog owners and even a small holding to wander through where you'll meet llamas, alpacas, emus, pigs and rams!

Entrance Porch

Fitted with matting this entrance porch is both pretty and practical; with so many dog walks around the village its ideal to step in here and wipe down those muddy paws before entering the rest of the house. Hang up your coat too and with a little window to the garden you can check the weather before heading out.

Dining Room

Stepping into the dining room you immediately notice the stone wall and wooden lintel that would have formed the form back entrance. To the opposite side of the room double glazed french doors lead out onto the garden where a bench is perfectly placed for morning coffee. A side window overlooks the potted garden area together providing plenty of light into this versatile room. Keep it as a formal dining room or use it as a peaceful home office with garden views, or maybe even the play room where the children can fun free in and out of this homely cottage. Walking through to the kitchen and shower room there is a large double door full height storage cupboard for all of the household items to be hidden away plus more coats and shoes!

Living Room

Spanning the full width of the home and located at the front with three deep windows this is a bright and spacious room which also offers many layout options. Currently laid out to provide a cosy lounge space in front of the large stone inglenook fireplace and then an open space for the piano and occasional seating. We can envisage that this area could offer another working from home spot, play area, dining as well as lounge or even a little library with bespoke cabinetry beneath the staircase. An internal window looks through to the kitchen and stone nooks provide lovely features to really show off the character of this home.

Shower Room

A second bathroom facility - what a luxury! Downstairs this tastefully refitted shower room offers practicality and beauty. With a corner shower cubicle, wash hand basin, low level WC, heated chrome towel radiator and space and plumbing for stacked washing machine and tumble dryer. Superbly laid out this room really adds to the accommodation on offer.

Kitchen

A real showstopper since being re fitted with a range of base and eye level cabinets broken up with wooden shelving - a continuation of raw characterful materials blended within the modern units. The kitchen has all you need with integrated double oven, induction hob and stylish extractor hood, fridge and freezer, wine fridge and a beautiful Belfast style skin with swan neck tap to complete the look. A double glazed door leads out to the garden being ideal for hosting and an opening leads into the second part of the kitchen...

Wine Room

This room has been fitted to offer outstanding storage for your finest wines along with storage cupboards and a countertop to make your morning coffee as you daydream out of the window and into the beautiful secret garden - bliss!

Landing

The staircase with an intermediate landing are surprisingly wide for a cottage style home and offer a lovely flow from the living room up to the landing. The landing itself also has two parts with two steps leading up to the third bedroom/dressing room, family bathroom and airing cupboard.

Bedroom 1

Located at the end of the landing benefiting from the vast chimney breast as a stunning feature the largest bedroom is tastefully decorated with neutral decor to sleep easy. A window to the front and side aspect allow for plenty of natural light and with the current layout there is a good deal for floor space to move about the bedroom comfortably even with additional furniture.

Bedroom 2

The first bedroom along the landing is the second bedroom in size and currently used as a double guest bedroom and office space. Fitted with bespoke Sharpes office joinery the nook of this room double up excellently as a work from home space, or maybe a homework or gaming spot for a lucky little one.

Bedroom 3

The third and final bedroom is currently used as a dressing room with a vast span of fitted wardrobes offering all the storage you could need! The low level window makes for a very quaint feel in this room adding to the beauty of it as a dressing room but it would be an ideal nursery, guest or children's bedroom.

Family Bathroom

Again, another room refitted with beauty and grace. This family bathroom has been fitted with a Victorian style suite comprising a clawfoot freestanding style bath with shower and screen over, wash hand basin set in a vanity unit (handy for hiding all of the families toiletries), low level WC and a stunning heated towel radiator. The tiles and wall colour chosen make this suite complete - impeccable taste you'll never want to leave.

Garden

With established trees, beds, climbers and hedging this garden offers some of the best "secret garden vibes" we have ever seen. A spot to have your morning coffee, a patio to dine with friends, a secluded patio for the birds to water and bath, an area to grow some veggies, a wisteria arch through to a gravel and potted flowers area and still a sizeable, not overlooked, lawn. You could spend wonderful summer days just pottering around in here!A established garden store provides storage for all of your garden goods or maybe even convert it into your own little potting and growing room.

Parking

Weasels End sits by the village square, a tarmac area providing parking for some of the properties in the square and visitors to the village shop. With no charge, permit and designated spaces you will be sure to find a spot here whenever needed or the neighbouring road of St Johns Close has plenty of on street parking as does Bridge Street, New Road and further along Church Street.Within the garden the gravelled area with its potted plants, bench seat and aesthetic bin stores offers a lovely traditional cottage garden feel, but it wasn't always this way. The previous owner used this space to park her small car, so with some minor changes that could be a parking option also.
