Characterful four-bedroom village home with large garden and extension potential.
Four double bedrooms; master with tiled en-suite
Set in picturesque Helmdon, this stone-built four-bedroom detached home blends period charm with family-sized living. Ground floor rooms flow around a spacious kitchen with a breakfast bar and French doors opening to a very large private garden. The main reception features an exposed stone fireplace with a log burner, and a bright conservatory provides flexible extra space for play, dining, or a snug.
Upstairs offers four good-sized bedrooms, including a master with tiled en-suite, and a family bathroom with a roll-top bath. Practical extras include a utility area, downstairs W.C., multiple-car driveway parking, and an outbuilding/shed in the garden. Local amenities and several well-rated primary schools are within easy reach, matching the village’s tranquil, family-friendly character.
Notable positives for buyers: West Northamptonshire Council has granted planning permission for a single-storey rear extension to create a larger open-plan kitchen-living area, so there’s clear scope to modernise and increase living space. The property’s stone construction and original features give strong character and curb appeal.
Material considerations are set out plainly: heating is by an oil-fired boiler (not a community supply), glazing is secondary, and external stone walls are assumed to be uninsulated — further insulation or energy improvements may be required. Broadband speeds are slow, and council tax is described as expensive. Overall, this home will suit a family seeking village life and period character, and buyers wanting extension potential who are prepared for some upgrade and energy-efficiency works.
