5 School Lane, Castlethorpe MK19

An 18th-Century Stone Cottage of Timeless Character and Rural Elegance

The Essence of Country Living

Tucked away on a peaceful lane in the heart of the picturesque village of Castlethorpe, Rose Cottage is a truly enchanting home - a place where period charm and modern comfort blend seamlessly.
Believed to date from the mid 18th century and now Grade II listed, this four-bedroom detached stone cottage captures the essence of English rural living with its honey-coloured stone, leaded casement windows, and a story woven through centuries of village life.

A Home with Heritage and Heart

Behind the pretty façade lies a home of warmth and character. The interior retains its original rustic soul, featuring exposed beams, traditional fireplaces, and softly textured stone walls - yet offers the practicality and flow of a thoughtfully extended family home.

The ground floor has been cleverly enhanced to provide two generous bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room, together with a family bathroom and a series of welcoming reception rooms - ideal for entertaining or quiet reflection.

The kitchen/breakfast room embraces a country aesthetic, combining natural materials and homely charm to create the true heart of the house.

Upstairs, two further bedrooms provide peaceful spaces to rest and retreat, with gentle views across the surrounding gardens and neighbouring paddock.

A Setting to Savour

Approached via a private driveway with parking for several vehicles, Rose Cottage enjoys a detached garage and beautifully tended gardens that wrap around the property, offering intimate corners for outdoor dining and relaxation.

To the side, open views across a tranquil paddock create a sense of space and serenity, changing with the light and the seasons - the perfect backdrop for this remarkable home.

A home of rare beauty and enduring charm, Rose Cottage offers a lifestyle that is as elegant as it is effortless - the perfect blend of history, character and countryside peace
