Property Highlights
Located in a popular part of the village with countryside walks on your doorstep. The village amenities are within walking distance and this includes a convenience store, country pub/restaurant and a well-renowned primary school. Wellingborough is just a short drive away with a commuter rail link to London and there is easy access to the A509 and A45, with Rushden Lakes accessible in less than 10-minutes.
Benefitting from upgraded electrics and a gas fired ‘Potterton’ combi boiler in 2011, there are modern uPVC windows and doors, providing an excellent opportunity for its new owners to modernise and potentially extend to their exacting standards (subject to relevant consent).
Enter through the uPVC glass panelled front door into the entrance porch with a glazed front elevation, meter cupboards housing the electric consumer unit and electric meter, terrazzo style floor tiles and a timber and glass panelled door with a large sidelight window that leads into the Entrance Hall.
The Entrance Hall offers a welcoming and generous space, which is ample for the demands of modern living and there is a useful understairs cupboard providing an ideal coat and shoe storage space. Stairs lead up to the first floor and doors provide access into the ground floor accommodation.
Bathed in light from its dual aspect windows, the Living Room is a generous room with obscure glass and timber double doors to the dining room, and an open fireplace with a stone hearth and exposed stone.
The Kitchen provides excellent scope to be remodelled or extended to provide the modern open plan kitchen that is often desired. The dining room is adjacent to the kitchen and there is ample space in the garden for an extension (subject to relevant consent). The kitchen includes tiled flooring, ceramic tiled splashbacks, solid oak fronted eye and base level units with a roll top work surface and a breakfast bar in one corner. There is a ceramic one and a half bowl sink and draining board looking out on the garden and space and plumbing for a dishwasher and a freestanding electric cooker (appliances available under separate negotiation).
Formal Dining Room with a generous window looking on the rear garden, timber and obscure glass panelled doors to the living room and a door through to the kitchen.
Separate Reception Room, which was converted from the original garage and now provides a versatile room that would make for an excellent playroom, work from home space, additional sitting room or even a ground floor bedroom, if required.
With a door from the kitchen, the Utility Room is a generous space with a door to the garden, access into the ground floor WC and additional storage in the solid pine eye and base level units. There is ample space for laundry appliances and the ‘Potterton’ combo boiler is housed on the wall.
The stairs flow up to the first floor Landing which is larger than you might expect with a useful storage cupboard, doors to the first floor rooms and a drop-down hatch and ladder to the loft.
Four generously sized Bedrooms, all showcasing part of the stunning undulating views in the distance, while the principal bedroom and bedroom two encompass impressive views as soon as you enter the room. The principal bedroom is a great sized room with dual aspect windows making the most of the view and has generous built-in wardrobes.
Family bathroom featuring a window to the rear elevation, a chrome heated towel radiator and a two piece suite to include a pedestal wash basin and a panel enclosed bath with a fitted shower screen and a shower from the mixer taps. The WC is adjacent to the family bathroom with a window to the rear elevation, tiled walls to dado height and a low-level WC.
There is a fantastic tandem double Garage situated to the side of the property measuring approx. 28’1” x 10’2” and with a workshop to the rear that could be used as a garden room or a potting shed. The Garage benefits from both lighting and power sockets, and there is a remote operate electric roller door to the front.
The property occupies an excellent position on the established street. There is a low-level hedgerow and timber gate to the front enclosing the beautifully maintained frontage, and a path that flows to the front porch with a raised gravelled border to one side and gated access down the side of the property. The generous gravelled driveway provides off road parking for 3-4 vehicles and access into the oversized tandem garage that has a remote operated electric roller door and ample space to park modern sized vehicles.
The rear garden benefits from a mature and established feel with paved patio by the property creating an excellent entertaining space and access into the workshop at the rear of the garage that would also make for a great potting shed. Steps lead down from the patio, past the gravelled and planted rockery to the extensive lawn and there is an array of landscaped areas that allow you to catch the sun throughout the day. Throughout the garden there are established perennial plants, well-maintained bushes and hedges and there is an outside tap and external lighting.
