The dedicated ground-floor office space provides a separate, quiet environment for work, while the separate utility room offers practical storage and functionality.

This home truly combines character with convenience. The ground floor includes a family bathroom with underfloor heating.

On the first floor, there is the second bedroom (or main bedroom, depending on your preference), which has plenty of storage with built-in wardrobes. The third bedroom is also on this floor with a (easily missed) large under-stairs storage area.

A second staircase leads to the top floor, where a spacious and inviting bedroom awaits, with characterful beams and a mansard ceiling. This room also benefits from a well-presented en-suite shower room with a modern and sleek design, offering both luxury and convenience to this top-floor retreat.

Outside, the garden is three-tiered and low maintenance. The garden is completely enclosed, providing privacy and a secure environment for relaxation. Whether you enjoy lounging in the sun on the top tier or enjoying the views of the church steeple, this garden offers a peaceful, secluded area that requires minimal effort to maintain.

Crick is a sought-after village with a vibrant community spirit.

It offers the perfect village lifestyle with its many walks right on your doorstep, including Crack's Hill, Millennium Wood, and, of course, the beautiful Grand Union Canal.

You also have a local Co-op, Post Office, and a choice of three pubs (The Wheatsheaf, Royal Oak, and The Red Lion—all within walking distance). Also, there is the Ex-Servicemen's Club (Crick Club), which is a great place to have a drink.

Pickle and Pie (which is quite literally on your doorstep,) the local Deli, does a fantastic range of breakfasts and lunches to eat in or take away - perfect if you're working from home and want to nip somewhere for a coffee and a sandwich (their Scotch eggs are amazing, too, by the way!)

Crick also has many activity groups for the family, including Cubs and Scouts, football, cricket, cycling, and a local history group.

A lot of families move into Crick because it is a family-friendly village, and the surrounding schools are a huge attraction. Crick Primary School is a short, safe walk away, and there are many secondary schools within a few miles.

Most children of secondary age in the village attend Guilsborough School; however, the two highly regarded grammar schools, Lawrence Sheriff and Rugby High, are accessible through the eleven-plus examination. There are further state-funded alternatives, including Ashlawn in Hillmorton and the new secondary school at Houlton, to say nothing of the world-famous fee-paying Rugby School.

Crick is served by an excellent road network, being located within a couple of miles of Junction 18 on the M1 and only a few miles further from the M6 and the A14. Stations at Rugby and Long Buckby are both approximately seven miles away; they offer first-rate rail links to London and Birmingham.

This property is truly a timeless beauty, offering a unique opportunity to own a piece of history in a desirable location. Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the space and charm this delightful home has to offer.
