The Stone Cottage, Thorpe Lane, Tealby, Market Rasen, LN8

A delightful four-bedroom semi-detached cottage with plenty of charm and character, in an idyllic semi-rural setting with views of the river Rase.

Description

Quaintly charming, The Stone Cottage is a pretty stone-built semi-detached cottage believed to date back to 1770. The cottage occupies a lovely position less than a mile from Tealby, enveloped by beautiful countryside. Recently subject to a full renovation, the cottage has been updated for the modern day while respecting its original character features: fireplaces and stone detailing are allowed to shine by the blank canvas décor, which presents a great opportunity for personalisation. As well as the internal updates, externally the cottage has been sandblasted and repointed with lime mortar, received a sympathetic roof renovation with original style pan tiles and been upgraded with new glazing throughout.

The social kitchen is at the heart of the house, a warm and welcoming space with engineered wood flooring, Murdoch Troon handmade cabinetry and a range cooker with a hot plate and warming drawer. The kitchen is open plan to a breakfast/dining area which overlooks the garden and leads to a useful utility cupboard. At the front of the house, two reception rooms overlook the river Rase: a formal dining room and a cosy sitting room/snug. A boot room opens to a study and a cloakroom with WC. Upstairs, four generous double bedrooms are set around a central landing. Two are en suite, while a main bathroom is shared by all.

The Stone Cottage nestles in glorious countryside: to the front, the river Rase wends its way along the quiet country lane, the house set between two charming fords. To the rear, views overlook the adjoining paddocks which are home to local horses. A driveway leads along the side of the house to the rear, where there is a parking area leading on to a paved terrace – plenty of space for entertaining in the warmer months. The lawn is also a good size and separated from the surrounding fields by post and rail fencing which serves to allow the far-reaching views. A hedge separates the garden from the neighbours while a mature ash tree at the rear adds shade in the summer. The garden also benefits from a detached garden studio – the ideal hobbies room, home gym or office space – and a timber shed.
