Perched on the outskirts of the quaint, rural village of Uffington, near Stamford, Lincolnshire, lies this sympathetically-converted, former railway station, Kylemore Cottage. A trainspotter's haven, featuring an original-stone exterior, a contemporary interior, and set near numerous walkways and cycle paths, this charming property is perfect for families or friends sharing, looking to enjoy a relaxing, self-catered stay in the Lincolnshire countryside. The station cottage dates back to 1840; Kylemore Cottage is Grade II listed building and family member Joseph William Holt converted the building from the original station house in the 1950’s and made it habitable. After you’ve parked up on the driveway and unpacked your belongings, make yourself at home in your new lodgings by setting up shop in the well-appointed, elegantly-designed kitchen/diner to rustle up a delicious feast for the whole group. Savour your culinary delights around the dining table in the dining room, where you and your loved ones can catch-up on the day’s events by the warmth of a crackling woodburning stove, before retreating to the thoughtfully-laid out sitting room, complete with plush sofas and a stylish, wall-mounted Smart TV with Sky. Open the bi-fold doors and take a glass of your favourite beverage out into the serene rear garden, where you can take in the fresh, country air whilst watching as the trains zoom past your lovely new home-from-home. When sleep calls, retire to one of four bedrooms, including a king-size with en-suite shower – an idyllic spot to refresh and rejuvenate after a long, fun-filled day. This property is a gift for railway enthusiasts with steam engines passing by the front door on a few occasions throughout the year and it is opposite one of the very few manned signal boxes in the country. If you can tear yourself away from your new dwelling, explore the local area by dining out at The Bertie Arms, serving traditional pub fare, or head a little further to The Millstone at Barnack, a gastropub, perfect for those evenings where you fancy taking a break from cooking. In nearby Stamford, visitors will find plenty to do and see, such as roaming the grounds of Burghley House or St Leonard's Priory or paying a visit to the National Trust landmark of the Priest's House, Easton on the Hill. The property also enjoys proximity to the iconic Burghley Horse Trials, held at Burghley House, which is a three-day event held annually and classed as one of the world's premier multi-day equestrian competitions. Choose Kylemore Cottage for the most memorable stay in Lincolnshire.
