Rose Cottage, Corby Road, Swayfield

This charming early 17th century Grade II listed cottage, in a peaceful village location, is steeped in history offering an abundance of timeless appeal and character.

The property is entered through the side door. You are welcomed into an entrance hall that oozes with character and history. To your right is a spacious kitchen/diner complete with roaming island on wheels. There is access from the kitchen through French doors onto the patio courtyard. Continuing through the kitchen, you arrive at the utility room, there is once again external access leading out from this room. Past the utility room and down the hallway is a remarkable downstairs bedroom and accompanying ensuite. This bedroom is filled with character, high ceilings and magnificent exposed beams. To the left of the entrance hall is a medieval feeling dining room, this room offers a real sense of occasion. Here you will find the first of two staircases that lead to the first floor. Leading ahead from the hallway to your right is a downstairs w/c. You then arrive in the sunroom, this room allows both access to the garden beyond as well as allowing itself to be flooded with both light and warmth that spreads through the rest of the house. To your left is a generously proportioned and yet cosy living room, this room offers possibly one of the most impressive Inglenook fireplaces in the area. Directly behind the living room is an equally generously sized snug. Opposite the snug is the fourth bedroom, currently used as an office. This room has a beautiful mezzanine area above the room. The second staircase is found in the snug. You are led to the first floor where you will find two impressively sized double bedrooms sharing a Jack and Jill ensuite with high vaulted ceiling, a free-standing iron bathtub and standalone shower.

Externally, the property sits on 1/3 of an acre of mature and manicured gardens with views overlooking countryside. There is off road parking for multiple cars as well as a workshop and car port with overhead storage behind iron gates.

A standout feature of this property is its large rear garden, of around a third of an acre, brimming with mature trees, plants and shrubs providing plenty of interest throughout the seasons, offering a delightfully tranquil retreat with a high degree of privacy. The pretty walled courtyard and colourful, lawned cottage garden lead onto a calming rustic barked area designed to attract butterflies, birds and bees, which provides a lovely haven for shaded relaxation. The sunny orchard forms the far end of this plot with mature apple, mulberry, pear and plum trees as well as a rose and lavender bed. Hedgerow and mature trees border the garden framing far-reaching and picturesque views of the countryside beyond.”
