Home Farm Cottage

Home Farm Cottage is an outstanding thatched house on the Ashton Estate near Oundle, Northamptonshire, with handy parking, a generous sitting room, and gardens that invite families and dogs to roam freely. Arrive and let the estate’s woodland setting set the pace; birdsong in the trees, dappled light across the lawn, and the promise of slow mornings and long, outdoorsy afternoons.

Step inside and you’ll find a warm, welcoming flow through the ground floor. The sitting room is made for together-time, whether that’s a film night on the Smart TV, a DVD favourite after dinner, or simply stretching out with a cuppa while plans take shape. The fully fitted kitchen feels like the heart of the home, ready for holiday cooking plus coffee maker for that first comforting brew. When it’s time to gather, the dedicated dining room encourages lingering meals and unrushed conversation, while the utility room keeps day-to-day practicalities neatly out of sight.

Upstairs, three bedrooms offer flexible sleeping arrangements with a king-size, a double, and a twin, served by a spacious shower room with a walk-in shower, plus a handy cloakroom. Outside, the gardens steal the show: space for children’s games, a shepherd’s hut to spark imaginations, and patio furniture for alfresco moments while the dogs potter nearby.

For days out, head into Oundle, then widen your adventures with the Nene Valley Railway for a classic outing and explore Rockingham Castle for a memorable change of scene. Rutland Water, Burghley House, and Hamerton Park Zoo add even more variety for all ages. However you spend your time, Home Farm Cottage near Oundle is a simply superb base on the Ashton Estate.
