A distinctive 16th‑century Grade II listed house offering generous, characterful living close to Oundle Market Place. Recent sympathetic refurbishment has upgraded services throughout — new wiring, boiler and high‑end kitchen — while preserving original features such as 1500s spine beams, an inglenook fireplace and mullioned windows. The layout includes a self‑contained 19th‑century cottage/annex that works well for guests, short‑let income or integration into the main house.
The house provides flexible accommodation across multiple floors: principal bedroom with ensuite, several double rooms, a ground‑floor bedroom/sitting room and attic bedrooms ideal as teens’ space or home office. A compact, low‑maintenance walled garden sits beside a tandem garage and parking; double gates to rear access offer additional parking if required. Fast broadband and local amenities are within easy walking distance, with good state and independent schools nearby.
Practical points are straightforward: the property is listed, which can restrict alterations and make some works more complex and costly. The plot is small for a house of this scale and council tax is high (Band F). The cottage is currently arranged as a separate unit — useful for annex use or Airbnb — but integration would require thought given the listed status.
This will suit buyers seeking a blend of history and contemporary comfort: a large family home with flexible annex space, or an investor attracted to holiday/long‑let potential in town‑centre Oundle. Chain‑free possession offers a smoother move for a buyer prepared to live with and maintain a listed building.
