From here, find a handy utility room hosting the washing machine and tumble dryer, before entering into the open-plan living space, a contemporary area to unwind in beneath the high vaulted ceiling with feature lighting, sleek fitted kitchen equipped with everything you need, and inviting sitting area with a Smart TV. Perch at the breakfast bar which forms part of the kitchen island as you sip your morning coffee, or take your drink to the sun room area to admire the blue skies before beginning your day. Retire in the evening to the lovely king-size bedroom decorated in crisp whites and leafy green hues, served by an en-suite bathroom boasting a bath and a walk-in shower to freshen up in. Make use of the serene outdoor spaces on your doorstep, with two patio areas with enough seating to have guests over and a lawned area, while venturing further into the grounds reveals a Mediterranean style garden with a summerhouse settled next to the outdoor pool, able to be used by guests via prior arrangement with the owner. Finish your days with some incredible stargazing from the meadows at the rear of the grounds, offering the ultimate magical, romantic setting for two. The property lies at the heart of the village of Corby Glen, known to locals simply as Corby, with two excellent pubs within strolling distance and a local Coop shop, offering all you need on a self-catered stay. Several National Trust properties lie in the surrounding area offering lovely days out, including Grantham's Belton House, Woolsthorpe Manor in Colserworth and Peckover House and Garden in Wisbech.
