Characterful four-bedroom town cottage in central Oundle, chain free and full of potential.
Grade II listed period cottage with authentic sash windows and fireplaces
A Grade II listed four-bedroom end-of-terrace cottage positioned on West Street in the heart of Oundle, offered chain free. The property retains strong period character—sash windows, decorative fireplaces, exposed floorboards and a marble chimney—spread over two storeys with a cellar for additional storage. Three reception rooms provide flexible living space alongside a kitchen with full-size range cooker and a convenient pantry/serving hatch.
The south-facing courtyard is private and low-maintenance, ideal for morning sun or a small garden seating area. Room proportions are generous for a town-centre house: four double bedrooms upstairs and a bright landing with a radius window. Nearby amenities, riverside walks and highly regarded schools make this a convenient and attractive town location for families or professionals.
Buyers should factor in the implications of listed status: repairs, alterations and energy upgrades will require listed-building consent and could add time and cost. The property shows signs of historic wear and will benefit from sympathetic modernisation to improve finish and energy efficiency. There is only one family bathroom and limited external space, and parking is restricted to the street/nearby public areas.
Overall this is a character-rich town cottage offering scope to create a comfortable family home or a well-located investment with careful, consented restoration. The combination of central location, flexible reception space and period detail will suit purchasers who value character and are prepared for the responsibilities of a listed property.
