Postbox Cottage

Originally built as the village bakery before becoming a shop and finally converted to a home, Postbox Cottage now provides a cosy retreat for anyone wanting to experience the delights of England's smallest county.

 

The Cottage

Built in the 1850s out of local limestone with a typical Rutland Colleyweston slate roof, Postbox Cottage has an array of features. The original doorway to the bakery has been preserved, as have the beams of the original loft, now forming the bedrooms and bathrooms, and in the lounge the impressive twenty inch thick stone wall has been left exposed.

The accommodation is on two floors. On the ground floor there is a spacious lounge and dining area with south and west facing windows. Ercol chairs, settees and footstools and a gas fired simulated wood burning stove, offer style, comfort and convenience.

The kitchen, which was newly fitted in 2009, is fully equipped with a gas cooker, washer/drier, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, microwave, iron, ironing board and electric kettle. Double doors lead out onto a courtyard complete with table and chairs.

On the first floor there are two bedrooms, one double with en suite bathroom, and a twin room with separate bathroom with bath/shower over. Postbox Cottage is an old property with some low beams and sloping ceilings. This should be borne in mind when booking.
