Tucked discreetly behind its traditional stone façade, Mullion Cottage is a beautifully presented two-bedroom period cottage set in the very heart of one of Rutland’s most coveted villages. Unassuming from the roadside, the property reveals its full charm the moment you step through the garden gate and into the south-facing garden, where the honey-coloured stone glows warmly in the sunlight.<br/><br/><b>Accommodation</b> - Inside, the cottage offers surprisingly generous accommodation, rich in character and thoughtfully finished throughout. The ground floor centres around a wonderfully inviting sitting room, complete with exposed beams and a wood-burning stove that anchors the space with rustic elegance. The adjoining kitchen is a classic shaker design, featuring timber worktops and a timeless aesthetic that complements the cottage’s heritage. Both rooms enjoy views across the private garden, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out.<br/><br/>Upstairs, two well-proportioned double bedrooms are served by a stylish and contemporary bathroom, offering comfort and refinement in equal measure.<br/><br/><b>Outside</b> - Opposite the cottage, a charming stone outbuilding provides excellent additional space. Currently used for storage but has electricity and heating, so offers exciting potential as a home office, creative studio, or even supplementary accommodation, subject to the necessary consents.<br/><br/>Just beyond the garden, the property benefits from private off-road parking and valuable asset in such a sought-after village setting.<br/><br/><b>Location</b> - Barrowden is an exceptionally attractive Rutland village set beside the tranquil River Welland, perfectly positioned just off the A47 between the market town of Uppingham and the extremely popular Georgian town of Stamford. With a thriving community of around 600–700 residents, the village offers an appealing blend of rural charm and everyday convenience. At its heart, Barrowden enjoys a strong sense of community, supported by an excellent range of amenities including a parish church, village hall, doctor’s surgery, well-stocked shop, mobile library, recreational field with cricket club, and the much-loved Exeter Arms pub. The village’s roots stretch back to the eleventh century, and this rich heritage is reflected in its traditional stone architecture, peaceful lanes, and timeless village green. Sought after for its beauty, history, and welcoming atmosphere, Barrowden offers an idyllic setting for those seeking an authentic village lifestyle within easy reach of wider transport links and neighbouring towns.<br/><br/><b>Services & Council Tax</b> - The property is offered to the market with all mains services and gas-fired central heating.<br/><br/>Rutland County Council – Tax Band B<br/><br/>
