A characterful home with sizeable and versatile accommodation, with the potential for multi-generational living, set within gardens and a paddock, about two acres in all, in the heart of this popular village.
This is a beautiful home that has evolved over the centuries and was Listed Grade II in 1987. The original part of the house, which is stone and thatched, is thought to date from the late 1600’s or early 1700’s. It may have been a farmhouse at that time. Later it became the Rose & Crown public house, and a large stable block and hayloft was added in Victorian times.
In the 20th Century this was attached to the original house and converted to further accommodation. The hayloft was the pub’s function room.
The former stable yard now provides ample parking, along with garaging and a cart shed. The gardens and the paddock lie beyond. The property has been a great family home for many years and is now ready for new custodians to put their stamp upon it.
The front door opens to the hall, which in turn lead to the fabulous sitting room. This has a fireplace to one end, and a heavily beamed ceiling with surprisingly good headroom, as do the other rooms. The windows have seats beneath. The snug is adjacent and has a large inglenook with a LPG stove as a focal point, and window with seat beneath letting in the southerly light.
The dining room is at the end of the house and has an inglenook. Again, the beamed ceiling adds to the atmosphere.
The kitchen is a post-war addition and is fitted with a range of wall and base units. There is space for a cooker and fridge. The breakfast room is ideal for family mealtimes and informal suppers. An Aga set against one wall. The utility room and cloakroom are set off the back hall, which is accessible from the drive.
The stairs lead from the snug to the first-floor landing. Four, double bedrooms are set across the front of the house, with the principal bedroom having an en suite bathroom. The family bathroom is set at the far end of the landing.
A glazed, timber link from the breakfast room passes a secluded courtyard and leads into the former stable block. This is sizeable building that could become a self-contained two storey annex or perhaps office suite, with any necessary consents.
The ground floor could also make a superb live-in kitchen. This fine building currently offers three reception rooms, each with glazed doors, with the stable doors acting as shutters, on the outside. A staircase leads to the former function room, which has served as a children’s den, playroom and sitting room. There are bedrooms to either end, as well as a full bathroom.
The front garden is set up a step from the street. A path leads to the front door. The drive leads past the side of the house to the yard, where there is plenty of parking in front of the garage and the double cart shed. A terrace is accessible from the back hall and the breakfast room. The majority of the garden is set beyond the yard, with a shaped lawn interspersed with trees and maturing shrubs. A small spinney is set to one side and has a path winding between the bluebells and cowslips. Beyond the garden is the paddock which is fenced and partially hedged. The views across the Nene valley are beautiful.
Rights of Way
There is a public footpath crossing the bottom corner of the paddock.
Services: Mains water, drainage and electricity are connected. LPG central heating. Fibre broadband available. Tenure - Freehold. EPC - Property Listed Graded II - Exempt. Council Tax - Band G
