Parsonage House is a striking Grade II‑listed former rectory dating from 1657, offering more than 5,000 sq ft of accommodation across multiple storeys and at least five double bedrooms. Its 1.33‑acre grounds include a small paddock, extensive lawns, mature planting and a superb weatherboarded garden building currently fitted with a full‑sized snooker table and bar. The property sits on a no‑through lane with open countryside views and excellent digital connectivity and rail links to London (Wellingborough station circa 4.3–4.5 miles; 45 minutes to London).
The house is rich in period character — exposed beams, inglenook fireplace, handmade kitchen with Corian surfaces and underfloor heating in key rooms — and has flexible ancillary spaces: converted barn rooms, large garage with rooms above and the garden outbuilding that could be used as an annexe, home office or leisure suite. Recent works include rethatching and replacement/renewal of wooden windows, reducing immediate major exterior work.
Important practical points: the Grade II listing will impose restrictions and may complicate alterations, and the council tax is described as very expensive. Internally the house offers scope for sympathetic modernisation and re‑configuration, so buyers should allow budget for updating to suit contemporary living despite many retained period features.
This property suits buyers seeking a substantial, characterful family home or lifestyle purchase in a quiet village setting, with nearby good schools, countryside walks and local amenities within a short drive. No flood risk is recorded and the plot is well suited to pets, horses or extensive gardening.
