Seeking rural base within 20 minutes of Cottingham

I'm currently living in NW Leicestershire near Castle Donington. I need a temporary rural base for the summer near Cottingham / Middleton on the Northants border or within a 20 minute drive from there. Preferably an annexe or self contained flat but would consider house share. I would prefer to live with female company. I work quietly from home also travel and away a fair bit. I'm reasonably sociable, single and domesticated. Prefer the countryside and the more rural the location the better - I'm also reasonably adept with farming, particularly beef cattle as well as horses so happy to help out.
