About this property

Wren Cottage is situated in the heart of the county of Rutland in the delightfully picturesque conservation village of Wing, near the town of Uppingham. Entering through the property, you are welcomed into a small entrance hall with an admirable sitting room to the right, featuring plentiful seating and a TV, where you can look forward to unwinding after exciting days out. This leads off into a wonderful open-plan kitchen/dining room with a splendid combination of both countryside and contemporary décor, and appliances including a stunning Rayburn that supports both the cooking and the heating, ceramic hob, dishwasher, dining seating for five, and elegant French-style large windows which allows appealing natural light into the room. Situated next to this room is a separate pantry area with additional cupboard space, a fridge with freezer compartment, and a microwave. Leading from this area is a hallway where you'll find a cloakroom with a hand basin, WC, and a washing machine for all your utility needs. Heading upstairs to the first floor is a family bathroom including a bath with a combination tap, WC and hand basin, and a well-decorated double bedroom and twin room, each with ample storage space and a homely feature fireplace. At the rear of the cottage is a superb long garden and patio area suitable for enjoying a pleasant evening of alfresco dining in the sun. The property benefits from a tranquil, quiet village location, and is within close proximity to several towns that are well worth a visit. For those seeking adventure, head to Rutland Water Reserve, one of the largest artificial lakes in Europe, which offers scenic cycling and walking routes around the water, and a wide range of superb amenities, including a bug and reptile zoo, nature reserve, children's play area, golf, fishing, birdwatching, as well as lakeside restaurants and exciting water sports and a small water adventure park during the summer months. Venture only slightly further afield to come across the picturesque Georgian town of Stamford, which is recognised as one of the finest stone towns in England, with its winding River Welland, lush meadow community park, beautiful church, and splendid cobbled stone Georgian high streets, which boast an excellent variety of eateries, quirky independent shops as well as popular shopping outlets.

Uppingham is a picturesque traditional Rutland market town with honey-coloured stone buildings offering a range of speciality shops, traditional family retailers, antique galleries, art galleries and tea rooms as well as country pubs, a weekly Friday market and an award-winning Heritage Trail which highlights the many historic features of the town. In the centre is the Market Square with the original fountain, where a temporary livestock market has been held every year since 1889. Uppingham and the surrounding area are steeped in history and offer something to suit all tastes and interests.

    The bedding and towels are absolutely gorgeous. It is very well appointed, with nice kitchen table wares and just about everything you could need. Highly recommended and a lovely area to visit. For us best restaurant was the Fox but used several others and didn’t experience any problems.

  • Margaret

    The cottage had everything we needed with very comfy bed. First time using Rayburn but no problem. Hand held shower was only issue for hubby but we were aware of this prior to booking. The biscuits and flowers were a lovely touch. The locals we met were so friendly and helpful. Food at The Kings Arms was excellent for 45th wedding anniversary meal.

  • Susan

    It was a real home from home. It was clean and cosy, with every convenience that we could have wished for. A lot of thought and effort has been put in by Alex and Ian (the owners), and it showed through. We thoroughly recommend Wren Cottage and will definitely be back.
