Charming Cottage in historic Castle Ashby

A charming 3-bedroom cottage in the grounds of Castle Ashby, surrounded by Capability Brown Parkland. The cottage is perfect for cosy winter getaways or entertaining in the summer with its large garden. Local attractions include: Beautiful Castle Ashby Gardens with its children’s play area, wild swimming, and Castle Ashby Rural Shopping Yard. The space The cottage was built in 1911 and has lots of windows making it very light and bright with lovely views of the beautiful garden and its abundance of nature. The garden offers lots of opportunities for outdoor dining and entertaining. Cots, highchairs and a pram can be provided on request. The garden is large and has a six seater table and chairs. The house is all on one floor for easy access. There are one or two steps up to the entrance doors. There is one large master bedroom with a large chest of drawers and a wooden clothes rail for hanging clothes. This is next door to a bathroom with bath/shower. The living room has seating area, TV and also a dining table with 6 chairs. There are a further two bedrooms with chest of drawers. The kitchen has a dishwasher and washing machine and outside is a clothes line for drying clothes and there is also a rail for drying clothes inside. There are two doors to the property a back door and front door. One of the doors goes straight into a large garden and the other door leads on to a footpath which goes to the village and from the village you can walk to Castle Ashby gardens which is about 15/20 mins. Guest access The cottage is situated in Castle Ashby Village and there are two free parking spaces (one in front of the other). The cottage is all on one level but there is a few steps up to the front and back door. Other things to note The cottage is on a private estate and the grounds beyond the cottage and the cottage garden are private including the cricket pitch and grounds in front of the Castle. We would be so grateful if you could keep to the cottage and its private garden and there is a small path which provides walking access to the village and there are 3 or 4 public walks you can take from there, as well as walking to Castle Ashby gardens which takes 15/20mins. There is a security man on the estate who lives in the buildings opposite the cottage. I can provide details of a good local baby sitter and I would be more than happy to help with providing local information or anything else you may need. We also live on the estate a few minutes walk away.
