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!
