Summary - STUDLEIGH COTTAGE, 20 CHURCH STREET NN7 3JD
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Large four-bedroom village cottage backing onto open countryside.
Grade II listed 18th-century detached cottage, large footprint
Studleigh Cottage is a spacious Grade II listed 18th-century detached home set on the edge of Rothersthorpe village, offering more than 2,260 sq ft of family-focused accommodation and direct views over open fields. Period features such as exposed beams, original doors and a part-thatch roof give genuine character, while a vaulted kitchen/dining room and adjoining family room create a generous social heart. The ground floor includes a double bedroom with shower room, useful for multi-generational living or guests.
Outside, the property benefits from a south-facing lawned garden, patio, gravel driveway and gated off-street parking. The plot backs onto countryside, providing privacy and a rural outlook. Local amenities and several well-rated primary and secondary schools are within easy reach, and broadband speeds are fast.
Buyers should be aware this is a Grade II listed building, which will restrict alterations and likely increase maintenance costs. The property is heated by an oil-fired boiler (external tank) and the original sandstone/limestone walls appear uninsulated, so energy costs and upgrade work are likely. Parts of the house have low to average ceiling heights and some compact rooms consistent with period cottages. Council tax is described as expensive, and thatch/tile roofing will require specialist upkeep.
This house will suit families or buyers seeking a character home with substantial internal space and a rural setting, who are comfortable with the responsibilities and costs associated with listed status and older construction. No flood risk is recorded for the site.
