Set within 1.73 acres, this Grade II listed former farmhouse has been sympathetically restored, is steeped in history, and occupies a prominent position in the centre of the village.
GROUND FLOOR
Upon entry, you’re welcomed by a statement reception hall which is laid with ornate tiling, setting a warm and characterful tone for the rest of the house.
With a dual aspect, a generous reception room overlooks the Eastern gardens and the church. Exposed boards, sash windows and a feature fireplace finish the room. A further reception room, currently set as a large home office, sits across the hallway and also boasts views over the church. In the oldest part of the building, dating back approximately 500 years, the snug offers great versatility and leads through to one side of the garden room.
At the heart of the home is the sleek and modern kitchen with open plan dining room, centred around a substantial yet cosy inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove. Bespoke cabinetry, Zodiaq worktops, a walk-in pantry, and an electric Aga all elevate the kitchen to an exceptional standard. The adjoining garden room, complete with underfloor heating and a glass roof, offering a light-filled transition to the outdoor entertainment patio and garden, perfect for alfresco dining.
FIRST FLOOR
Upstairs, a galleried landing with bespoke cabinetry and period touches allows light to pour in through a large south-facing window. The principal bedroom has its own en-suite, while three further bedrooms, all being substantial double rooms, are served by a contemporary style family bathroom with heritage-style fittings, a freestanding bath and separate shower.
OUTSIDE
The house is approached via electric gates and sits at the Southern aspect of its generous grounds. Accessible from the sweeping driveway is an oversized double garage-come-barn, and a detached oversized triple garage that has undergone highly specified renovations to create an impressive home office and shower room above – prime for further conversion into a self-contained annex, if so desired.
The grounds have been thoughtfully designed and comprise formal lawns, a well-stocked orchard, a spinney, and a tranquil stream that borders the edge of the plot providing a beautiful sense of privacy.
LOCATION
The property enjoys a prime village position just a short drive from the historic market town of Oundle, known for its independent shops, excellent schooling and vibrant community. Glapthorn is surrounded by open countryside yet well connected by road to nearby towns and commuter links. Church Farmhouse offers the perfect combination of privacy, convenience and lifestyle.
