4 bedroom house for sale

A handsome stone house with versatile and characterful accommodation, attractive garden, parking and double garage, set in a prominent position within this popular village.

This beautiful village home, Listed Grade II, dates from the late 1600s and has evolved over the centuries. Formerly thatched, the property was altered and extended in the late 1800s to create a versatile property, now set beneath a pantile roof. The handsome, ashlar chimneys remain in situ. The features within are typical of the period of its build and alteration, and it is thought some of the artefacts , including spine beams and fireplaces, are from nearby Fotheringhay castle and other significant houses. Research into its history has also revealed that the current dining room was a village shop within the last 100 years.

The front door opens to the hall, which in turn provides access to the sitting room and the main living room. A handsome inglenook with heavy bressummer dominates this attractive room, which has good light from the front window and the French doors that open to the garden.

The sitting room also has an inglenook fireplace and enjoys a view of the war memorial and of the garden. An inner hall provides access to the garden and to the remainder of the ground floor.

The dining room has a large window to the front. The brick floor and the huge stone fireplace are intriguing features.

The kitchen is beyond, and is fitted with a range of wall and base units with worksurfaces and inset sink. The oil-fired Aga stands to one end. Beyond, lies the useful utility room and the cloakroom. A door leads to the garden and the back stairs rise to a fourth double bedroom, set off a landing.

The main stairs rise from the hall to the first-floor landing, where there is access to the two superbly proportioned bedrooms, the larger of which enjoys a dual aspect. These fine rooms have access to the family bathroom, which is fitted with a roll-top bath, WC, separate shower cubicle and a wash basin.

Stairs rise from the main landing to the second floor, where there is a third, comfortable, double bedroom with a full bathroom, adjacent.

There is a forecourt front garden, with flowers and shrubs set behind a low boundary wall. The rear garden is very attractive, with a large, paved and shingled terrace accessed from several points in the house. A path leads between the lawn and the deep shrub bed, past the shed to the rear of the garden. A gated arch opens to the gravelled parking area in front of the double garage, which is accessed via a pair of up and over doors.
