An 18th century extended cottage with extensive gated parking, a double garage, and wraparound gardens with views over the surrounding countryside on the edge of the village of Upper Harlestone. The oldest part of the property dates from the 18th century. The village of Upper Harlestone was originally part of the Althorp estate and the cottage takes its name, Vera Low, from the wife of an estate gardener who lived in the original cottage. The estate sold the cottage by auction in 1978 when it was described as consisting of an entrance hall, a scullery, and a reception room on the ground floor with stairs to two first floor bedrooms.

The property has been extensively extended by subsequent owners with the original purchaser adding the drawing room and a subsequent purchaser adding the dining room, both with bedrooms over. The vendors extended further in 2000 adding the hall, home office, and kitchen/breakfast room on the ground floor with additional bedrooms and bathrooms on the first floor. The property now has 4,246 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation which retains period features throughout including inglenook fireplaces, exposed beams, timbers and quarry tiled floors.
