A delightful, detached stone cottage, with plenty of character, set off a tranquil, no through lane, within secluded gardens of 0.34 acres. Conveniently placed for access to Oundle, Stamford and Peterborough.

The Property
Riverside Cottage is a delightful property, dating from 1648 and built of local limestone beneath a Collyweston slate roof. The cottage is listed Grade II and displays many features typical of its era, including spine beams, an inglenook, Lincolnshire dormers and some window seats. In recent years, the property has been sympathetically updated and extended, creating a comfortable home with a fabulous live-in kitchen, with plenty of light and enjoying views of the gardens.

The accommodation is set over two floors. The entrance hall, with polished stone floor, is spacious and welcoming and is the link between the original cottage and the extension. From the hall there is access to the guest cloakroom. The kitchen is a wonderful room with more than ample space for cooking, dining and relaxing. There is an extensive range of fitted units, a sink and an electric cooker. Windows to three sides allow in plenty of light and French doors open to the garden. A stable door opens to the utility room, which has space for appliances and also contains the oil-fired central heating boiler.

The sitting Room enjoys a dual aspect and has a beautiful inglenook housing a wood burning stove. A door leads through to the drawing room which has a central fireplace with windows either side. Beyond is the snug, currently serving as a dining room, but could easily make a great home office.

On the first floor, the polished stairs, split, to serve the three double bedrooms. The main bedroom has fitted wardrobes and a view towards the river. The second bedroom enjoys a similar view. The third bedroom over-looks the garden. The bathroom has beautiful, original, wide floorboards. The suite includes a bath, WC, basin and separate shower cubicle.

Riverside Cottage sits at the end of a tranquil lane that traverses the grounds of Tansor Manor. It serves four dwellings. Riverside Cottage is at the end, on the right. A gateway opens to a gravelled drive, which provides ample parking before leading on to the substantial, stone built, over-sized double garage, which has power and light laid on.

A shingled path leads to the front door. Beside the house, accessible from the kitchen, there is a terrace, with steps up to the lawn. This has stocked borders and high hedging giving shelter and great privacy. Behind the house is a paved courtyard, with stone bench seating, which captures the morning sun. The main lawn runs to the south and west and is sheltered by mature hedging. The plot extends to about 0.34 acres and is wonderfully secluded.
