The Old Postings is a Grade II listed 18th‑century limestone cottage sitting in the heart of Grendon with a direct view of the church. Period features are intact, including exposed beams, window seats, an inglenook fireplace and two wood‑burning stoves that give the house strong character and cosy reception rooms. The property offers three bedrooms, a separate dressing room, a loft space and a practical fitted kitchen with utility and downstairs WC.
The south‑facing garden is private and low‑maintenance with both paved and lawn areas, a brick outbuilding and a small summer house. The layout suits families who want a central village home close to a highly rated primary school, local amenities and outdoor activities at Grendon Lakes, while still being within commuting distance of Wellingborough and Northampton.
Buyers should be aware this is a listed building: repairs, alterations and some modernisation will be subject to listed‑building consents and may be more costly and time‑consuming. The property has solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, which may limit energy upgrades; it is EPC exempt. There is a recorded medium flood risk and the neighbouring property retains a pedestrian right of way over the rear pathway (not exercised for 24 years). Crime levels in the area are above average.
Overall, this cottage will suit purchasers seeking a characterful period home in a desirable village setting who are comfortable managing listed‑building responsibilities and small‑plot living. It presents immediate charm and potential for sensitive updating rather than a turnkey, modern renovation.
