This charming Grade II-listed country retreat, located in the village of Belton, Grantham, Lincolnshire, serves as a perfect getaway for families and friends, accommodating up to six guests. The cottage, which dates back to 1896 and was originally built for the Clerk of Works on the Belton estate, features a modern yet traditional English country house style. Visitors can enjoy stylish decor throughout the property, including a cozy kitchen, a dining room, a sitting room, and a convenient shower room on the ground floor, while the upper level houses three bedrooms and a family bathroom complete with a luxurious roll-top bath.
The property boasts a picturesque garden where guests can enjoy breakfast while taking in views of the village church and the nearby Belton orangery. Its prime location provides easy access to the stunning Belton House and the expansive Belton estate, which is rich with gardens, parkland, ancient woodlands, and even a deserted medieval village. Nature enthusiasts may have the chance to spot wild fallow deer during their explorations, and those in search of refreshments can visit a nearby tea room for a delightful treat.
For those interested in golf, a golf club is conveniently located within walking distance of the cottage.
