Spacious Grade II listed home with two-bed annexe and half-acre gardens.
Grade II listed 17th-century stone house with period features
A rare Grade II listed Northamptonshire stone house dating from the 17th century, this exceptionally large detached property offers 5,341 sq ft of character-packed accommodation and a self-contained two-bedroom annexe. Original features such as flagstone floors, exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace and multiple staircases give the house clear period charm and flexible living space across several reception rooms and bedrooms.
Set in roughly half an acre of secluded, landscaped garden and courtyard with useful outbuildings, the house suits a family seeking generous room sizes, separate living areas and potential ancillary income from the annexe. The principal suite enjoys rear garden views, exposed beams and an en suite, while a loft room provides a sixth bedroom or additional storage/office space.
Buyers should be aware this is a Grade II listed property: alterations and some routine works will require listed-building consent and may add time and cost to maintenance or modernisation. Council tax is noted as quite expensive; the local area records above-average crime compared with surrounding districts. The house’s age and size mean ongoing upkeep and sensitive renovation will be necessary to fully realise its potential.
Overall, this property is best for buyers who value historic character, space and privacy and who are prepared for the responsibilities of owning and maintaining a listed, 17th-century home in a prosperous village setting.
