Are you dreaming of living in a picturesque Rutland village, yet with all the space and convenience of modern living? Welcome to Hawthorn House, a substantial, four-bedroom home with a picturesque garden in Braunston-in-Rutland.

Welcome Home

Double gates lead you from Knossington Road to the driveway and integral double garage. As you step into the entrance hallway through the handsome porch, the first glimpse of the magnificent garden draws you through to the open plan, sociable kitchen dining room.

The Heart of the Home

The classic, stone-topped Shaker-style kitchen incorporates built-in appliances and plenty of storage, extending to a peninsula breakfast bar which cleverly divides the preparation space from the entertaining area, and makes the perfect spot for those hurried work and school day breakfasts. With plenty of space for a large dining table and chairs, and a relaxed seating area, this fantastic space is the heart of the home. Bifold doors lead to the garden for easy al fresco dining. Keeping your kitchen clutter free, a stable door from the kitchen leads to a cloakroom and spacious laundry room. A door to the side provides of access to the side of the home, making for swift entry and exit with muddy boots and paws after you’ve made the most of the local countryside walks.

Sit Back and Unwind

Double doors from the kitchen dining room lead into the sitting room. A large bay window to the front draws in daylight, while a cosy gas fire with a natural local stone surround makes for warm winter evenings. A door from here returns you to the hallway, where you’ll find a large study overlooking the front aspect.

Bedtime Bliss

Hawthorn House has four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Ascend the stairs to the light and airy first floor landing, and discover the first pretty bedroom, located to the front the home and enjoying charming views. Fitted with built-in wardrobes and its own en suite shower room, this room makes a wonderful guest suite. To the rear of the home is the sumptuous principal suite. Generously proportioned, this calm, elegant space with stunning garden views is just the place to escape daily life. Combined with a walk-in wardrobe and recently fitted en suite shower room, the ultimate luxury is discovered through a second door that connects on to a single bedroom that is currently used as a dressing room, making for a truly enviable principal suite. From the landing, discover the family bathroom, and a final bedroom, located to the front of the home with a run of fitted wardrobes.

A Slice of the Good Life

Enter the garden through one of three doors to the rear of the home. A large terraced area right by the home is perfect for al fresco dining, beyond which a series of steps lead to the lawned gardens. A sweet gravel pathway leads its way past beautifully planted borders, around to the summerhouse and decking area. A gate from there takes you into the kitchen garden, with raised beds, a greenhouse and garden shed.
