Cottage to rent on

Chapel Lane

Somerby, LE14

This beautifully presented, Grade II listed, four-bedroom cottage is now available to let in the charming and highly sought-after village of Somerby. The village boasts a welcoming community with amenities including a primary school, village shop, church, village hall, an award-winning pub, and a renowned equestrian centre.

Steeped in character, this rare gem offers a wealth of original features and rustic charm throughout. The spacious semi-detached cottage features three double bedrooms and one generously sized single bedroom, along with two large reception rooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and a separate utility area with direct access to the garden.

Upon entering through the front door, you are greeted by a warm, tiled reception area that is currently used as a dining space. This room exudes character, with built-in glass-fronted cupboards for storage, a wood-framed fireplace, and an elegant glass panel feature that separates it from the adjoining living room.

The cosy living area, rich with underfloor heating, wood panelling and carpeting, includes a log burner and offers stunning views of the picturesque garden. A door from this room provides access to the outside wood store and the garden, while a staircase leads to the first floor.

Accessed via a discreet trap door, the cottage also benefits from a cellar, offering additional storage space and further enhancing the property’s charm. Perfect for wine storage or other practical uses, this hidden feature adds yet another unique aspect to the home.

The bright, dual-aspect kitchen is bathed in natural light and features an array of white eye-level and base cabinets, complemented by granite countertops. Appliances include an induction hob, double oven, built-in microwave, dish washer and extractor, as well as a stainless steel sink with a mixer tap. From here, you can enjoy lovely garden views.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a spacious utility room equipped with shelving, storage cupboards, and plumbing for a washing machine. This area provides ample space for practical needs and houses the boiler. It also offers a door leading directly to the garden and driveway.

Upstairs, there are four bedrooms—three doubles and one large single—each neutrally decorated and carpeted, featuring charming wooden doors and original details. The windows are dressed with a mix of blinds, curtains, or wooden shutters, offering peaceful views of the scenic gardens.

The family bathroom is beautifully appointed with a four-piece suite, including a freestanding bathtub and a large walk-in shower with a double showerhead. A stylish vanity unit sits beneath the sink, completing the room’s luxurious feel.

Outside, the gated driveway reveals a stunning, expansive garden, with seating areas, a large lawn, mature plants and a small raised pond. A gravel driveway leads to 2 large outbuildings. There is a second fenced garden area, and the oil tank has been discreetly enclosed. The driveway can comfortably accommodate up to five cars.

This cottage offers a delightful, homely atmosphere with a blend of traditional charm and modern comforts, making it a must-see for anyone seeking a characterful village residence.
