Character-filled two-bedroom cottage with south-facing garden and countryside views.
Grade II listed 19th-century cottage with original period features
This Grade II listed 19th-century semi-detached cottage sits in a quiet hamlet overlooking the village green and open countryside. The house retains genuine period character—gothic arched windows, high ceilings, exposed beams and two open fireplaces—combined with modern comforts such as a gas boiler, radiators and a log burner in the sitting room. A driveway provides off-street parking and a south-facing rear garden with deck, pond and a brick outbuilding completes the plot.
The ground floor offers a sitting room, dining room, kitchen and bathroom; two double bedrooms occupy the first floor. The property is a good size for downsizers or buyers seeking a character cottage within walking distance of Towcester and easy access to surrounding countryside. Video walkthrough and 360 tour are available for those who want a detailed preview.
Important considerations: the property’s Grade II listing and conservation-area location mean alterations will be restricted and approvals required. The walls are original solid brick with no built-in insulation (assumed), and the EPC is rated E, so energy-efficiency improvements may be needed and could be constrained by listing rules. The wider area is very affluent but recorded local crime levels are above average, which buyers should factor in.
Overall, this cottage will suit buyers who prioritise heritage character, a generous south-facing garden and rural views, and who are prepared for the practicalities of owning a listed, older building.
