Extended, refurbished detached period cottage, with countryside views, in the heart of the Langtons

This extended, refurbished detached period cottage with three double bedrooms, open plan kitchen, family/dining room and separate snug

and dining room, this home is an idyllic downsizer’s country retreat, that has evolved while retaining many period and character features.

Arrival is through a canopied porch and stable-style door, setting the tone for what lies beyond. Inside, the cottage opens into a

superb open-plan kitchen, dining and family room, with a striking flagstone floor. A side window, rooflight provide natural light, while bifold doors frame

a view of the landscaped garden. The kitchen itself is both practical and elegant, fitted with an extensive range of cabinetry, generous work surfaces.

Space is provided for a range-style oven alongside integrated appliances, all set beneath a limestone floor that anchors the room with understated

sophistication. Tucked discreetly to one corner is a contemporary cloakroom with fitted storage and utility provision.

From here, a brace-and-latch door leads into the snug, a welcoming retreat centred around an open fireplace set within an exposed brick

hearth. This is a room made for slower evenings, offering intimacy without separation, flowing naturally into the front dining room.

Here, exposed beams and a feature range oven speak gently of the cottage’s origins.

Oak stairs rise to the first floor, where windows along the landing draw the eye outward to rural views. Three double bedrooms are

arranged with balance and flexibility in mind. The principal bedroom sits quietly to the rear, accessed via an anteroom currently used as a dressing room,

though could serve as a study, or be converted to an en suite. Vaulted ceilings, timber floorboards and far-reaching countryside views create a space

of calm and retreat. Two further double bedrooms, both with feature fireplaces, complete the accommodation, alongside a characterful family bathroom that

features a white suite including a bath with shower over.

Outside, gravelled off-road parking sits to the side, with timber gates opening into a an attractive, private courtyard which offers

flexibility of additional parking. The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped, combining paved terraces for dining and entertaining with lawn and

mature borders.

Positioned within easy reach of Market Harborough, with its mainline rail connections and thriving town centre, Tye Cottage offers

a refined village lifestyle without compromise.  An inviting home of depth, balance and enduring appeal.
