Set within over seven acres of established grounds, this detached four-bedroom chalet bungalow offers rare redevelopment or renovation potential in sought-after Sywell. The house sits amid roughly five acres of mixed woodland protected by a Tree Preservation Order, creating exceptional privacy and mature natural surroundings ideal for nature lovers or a purchaser seeking a private country estate.
The existing accommodation is flexible: four double bedrooms (two en-suite), generous sitting room with vaulted ceiling and garden access, kitchen/dining, utility and plentiful reception space totalling approximately 1,711 sq ft. A detached double garage with adjoining office/laboratory adds practical workspace and scope for conversion, subject to consents. Ultrafast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working and modern connectivity.
There is significant scope for refurbishment throughout; many fixtures are dated and the property is sold requiring renovation. Outline planning permission for three executive homes was granted in 2007 but has since lapsed — the site may suit those exploring redevelopment, subject to current planning advice. Purchasers should note the woodland TPO restricts tree works and that any development proposals will require LPA confirmation.
This location balances rural tranquillity with commuting convenience. Sywell village amenities, good local schools and road/rail links into Northampton and Wellingborough make the plot attractive to families, buyers seeking a private country retreat, or developers/investors prepared to take on a long-term project. Council Tax is high (Band F) and all interested parties should carry out their own surveys and planning enquiries before proceeding.
