Make your dreams of family life in the countryside A reality A warm country welcome awaits you as you enter the aptly named 'Horseshoe Cottage' in the village of Belton-in-Rutland. The upturned horseshoe has traditionally been a symbol of Rutland county accompanied by the Latin motto 'Multum in Parvo' meaning 'much in little'. Indeed, both of these themes are echoed in the delightful features of Horseshoe Cottage.

Let us guide your around
Tucked away from the road follow the red brick herringbone path past the pretty garden cottage with lawn and planted borders towards the front door where standard bay trees and a scented climber mark the entrance.

What appears at first to be a moderately sized cottage opens up into a spacious and light filled family home. As you step into the hallway, the Victorian geometric tiled floor adds prestige and colour, but are remarkably practical too. A palette of calm, creamy colours complement the warmth of the aged timber beams in this cottage and the neutral décor helps the rooms flow together effortlessly.

The sitting room is one of the cosiest parts of the cottage thanks to the large fireplace, original ceiling beams and window overlooking the garden. Stop for a moment – just add a comfy chair and a warm throw, sit down and recharge. This is the perfect space for your family and guests to unwind and relax together.

A second door from the sitting room leads you into a great study space which could also work well as a playroom.

Time now to discover the dining room, where you'll be met with more country style themes, patterns and textures with timber ceiling beams and the honey coloured hues of the sturdy stonework wall.

Practically located next to the kitchen, the dining room keeps the kitchen free for food prep, but is close enough to stay involved as you cook, making it the ideal spot to gather around and entertain.

The country style kitchen is filled with natural daylight, from two windows overlooking the garden and a traditional stable door. In the warm summer months, celebrate lazy Sunday mornings and serve breakfast on your lawn garden. To be momentarily practical, the utility room and downstairs cloakroom is conveniently situated just off the kitchen.

Returning back to the entrance hallway, the stairs guide you up to a large landing area. Leading off from here you'll find the first floor where you'll find two light and airy double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a family bathroom.

Outside, the south-facing walled garden is the ideal spot to enjoy a refreshing glass of wine as the sun sets.
