Extremely large period house with high ceilings and sash windows
Three double bedrooms plus potential to create a fourth bedroom
Two bathrooms; en-suite recently updated to modern standard
Cellar provides storage and houses gas boiler; requires inspection

Set over three main floors plus cellar, this substantial period home offers generous reception rooms and flexible sleeping arrangements ideal for family living. High ceilings and large sash windows flood principal rooms with light, while original fireplaces and bespoke bookshelves retain strong historic character. The kitchen opens to a well-proportioned, tiered garden with paved terraces and lawn — a private outdoor space for children and entertaining.
The accommodation currently provides three double bedrooms, two bath/shower rooms and multiple reception spaces that could be reconfigured to provide a fourth bedroom or home office. A cellar houses the gas boiler and provides practical storage; the property benefits from mains services and fast fibre broadband. The house is chain free, vacant on completion and located within easy reach of local schools, shops and rail/bus links in Oundle.
Important practical points: the house is Grade II listed, so alterations (including creating off-road parking or garaging) may require Listed Building Consent and planning permission. The chimney is believed open but buyers should not rely on this without inspection. Some internal modernisation may be desirable depending on your needs, and any structural changes will be constrained by the listing.
For families seeking a character-rich town-centre residence, this home marries substantial proportions and historic detail with a private garden and clear potential for sensitive improvement. If you value period features, space and a central location in a very affluent town, this property deserves an early inspection.
