Description
West Farndon is a small and tranquil hamlet situated in attractive undulating rural south Northamptonshire countryside between the villages of Woodford Halse and Byfield. Both villages have active communities and include primary schools, sports fields and a range of local shops and amenities. The market towns of Daventry and Banbury provide for a wider range of services and facilities. Access to the motorway network includes the M40 at Banbury (9.5 miles) and the M1 at Nether Heyford (14 miles). Mainline rail services can be found at Banbury with London Marylebone links un under an hour. The area has excellent connection to both footpaths and bridleways, including the Jurassic Way.
Accommodation
The Cottage is a charming red brick period property sited to the edge of a quiet and tranquil hamlet. The main body of the building dates back to 1817 but has undergone significant renovation, with the addition of extensions to the rear and a generous side extension.
The property is approached from the lane by a paved pathway leading through a cast iron gate to a well-maintained gravelled area and the front door. On entering the house, to the left is an enclosed good-sized snug which, as an exception to the open-plan nature of the ground floor, provides a private space in which to relax. The sitting room leads from the front door, incorporating the staircase into the space and comprises a fuel burner set in a feature fireplace. This leads directly to the dining area, comprising double French doors to the rear garden. The dining area opens to the well-proportioned kitchen which provides ample cupboard space and continuing views of the garden and fields beyond, with W/C leading off the kitchen. From here, a door opens to the air conditioned, side extension which comprises family room and boot room. This room has been thoughtfully designed to maximise light through the lantern roof and further double French doors, providing a bright and airy space in which to relax and entertain.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms, and large family bathroom, all leading off the main landing. Each room benefits from far-reaching views over the surrounding picturesque countryside. The master bedroom in particular benefits from floor to ceiling French doors, overlooking the garden and neighbouring field, and is well placed to enjoy the sun as it sets.
Outside
The double electric gates provide access directly from the lane to a spacious gravelled driveway, with space for several cars. Two timber sheds are located to the rear of the driveway, ideal for garden storage. The driveway provides further access to the garden and a red brick outbuilding that has been newly renovated, with roof space fully boarded out. As part of the renovation work, the building has been fully connected to all services, including the private drainage system, making it the ideal space for a potential home office or ancillary accommodation.
The west-facing garden is well-maintained and shielded from the driveway by a beautiful trellis covered walkway that leads back to the house. Within the garden, there are a number of patios, including a seating area and fishpond that is well situated to fully enjoy the private tranquillity of the space whilst benefitting from the open view to the neighbouring fields.
