Bracknell Cottage is just a stone's throw from both Edith Weston & Empingham where there are shops, schools, churches and public houses with Empingham also offering a doctor's surgery. There is a sailing club in Edith Weston and Rutland Water Golf club only three miles from the cottage. The A1 is just a few miles to the East which affords commuting time to many areas including Peterborough, where there is frequent train service to London Kings Cross (approx. 50 minutes & upwards).
Directional Note - Leave Oakham on Stamford Road, continue on this road through Empingham. Take your 2nd right after leaving Empingham onto Normanton Park Road and continue on for about 2 miles. Wytchley Road is on your left just before entering Edith Weston and Bracknell Cottage is then the 2nd property on your left-hand side.
