4 bedroom detached house

In the heart of Cottesmore, rustic living is reimagined at the resplendent Staddlestones Barn, a charming four bedroom home.

Peaceful Retreat

Tucked back from the road, along a block paved driveway, discover a garage alongside a sheltered car port. From the main entrance hallway, the cosy sitting room beckons to the right, infused with warmth in the winter months from the glow of the log-burning stove nestled within a brick surround. Beams enhance rather than enforce their presence, for an infusion of country character throughout the home.

Where Family Life Unfolds

Bridging the practical culinary hub of the kitchen, with its spacious central island, country-style cabinetry and array of appliances including wine cooler and Rangemaster cooker, an ornate archway with glazed doors leads through into the open and characterful dining room, with exposed brick wall, chandelier lighting and overhead beams. An atmospheric space for entertaining, light streams in through a window overlooking the south-facing garden. Brick stairs lead up to a spacious and versatile family room, with log-burning stove and mezzanine level where a tall window pours light down from above, framing garden views. Flexible, characterful and brimming with possibilities for work, relaxation or children’s play, the flow and connection of Staddlestones Barn offers great scope for use.

Practical Places

A home made for modern family life, practical elements aid day to day living, with the convenience of a utility room to keep the clutter hidden away from the entertaining spaces and a handy downstairs cloakroom nestled off the entrance hallway.

Bedtime Beckons

Retracing your steps to the entrance hallway, stairs lead up to the first-floor landing, where the principal suite is privately positioned to the left. The first of four capacious double bedrooms, wake up to peaceful views out over the sunny, south-facing garden. Ample storage can be found in the built-in wardrobes with a private shower room en suite.

And So To Bed

Returning along the landing, a second spacious guest bedroom features built-in wardrobes, with access to the family bathroom. Recently fitted, soak away the aches in the freestanding bathtub with showerhead attachment, bathed in light from the large Velux window above. A separate sauna adds an extra layer of luxury. Stairs lead up to a bright and bountiful double bedroom where abundant storage can be found along the eaves. Overhead, light streams in through the large Velux window above. Storage can be found throughout the home, with the fourth of the double bedrooms again featuring built-in wardrobes. With verdant views over the leafy greenery from the window, this private and peaceful bedroom also features its own shower room en suite.

Sunshine, Shelter and Shade

Securely gated to the side, the cocooned garden is an oasis of calm, where shelter and shade can be sought beneath the boughs of the mature trees including a copse of young silver birch. A serene sun trap, enjoy al fresco dining on the terrace or seek a moment of quiet contemplation in the summer house, overlooking the lawn within the peace and tranquillity of the walled garden.
