Summary - 62, Midland Road NN8 1LU
4 bed 2 bath Detached
South-facing garden, studio space and easy rail links for commuters.
Large Victorian rooms with original cornicing and stained-glass fruit motifs
This substantial Victorian semi-detached house (built 1879) combines original period detail with considered contemporary interventions. Decorative cornicing, stained-glass fruit motifs and tall bay windows give the principal reception rooms strong character, while painted floorboards and pared-back finishes create calm, gallery-like spaces.
The house sits on a large south-facing plot with mature borders, productive fruiting plants, a greenhouse and a double garage with remote gate. The lower-ground studio and generous dining and living rooms provide flexible family living or space for home working and creative use. Wellingborough station is walkable; regular trains reach St Pancras in around 55 minutes, useful for commuters.
Important practical points: the property is a very large, older building with solid brick walls and assumed little to no insulation. Council tax is high and the neighbourhood records higher crime levels — both factors to weigh when budgeting and planning security or retrofit work. Services are mains gas with radiator heating; glazing is double but installation date is unknown.
Overall, the house will suit buyers who value distinctive Victorian fabric, a large garden and adaptable internal space, and who are prepared to invest in sympathetic upgrading to improve energy performance and long-term running costs.
