Summary - NEW CROSS FARM GREAT BRINGTON NORTHAMPTON NN7 4HY
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Character farmhouse with planning permission, large south-facing gardens and a useful 500 sq ft barn..
Full planning permission to extend by c.1,000 sq ft (Ref: WND/2021/0872)
Set in the desirable village of Great Brington, this substantial four-bedroom farmhouse blends period character with recent renovation work. The owners have modernised wiring, heating and windows while retaining original features such as exposed beams, flagstone floors and stone fireplaces — creating comfortable, family-ready accommodation across three floors.
A major value driver is the full planning permission (Ref: WND/2021/0872) to extend by about 1,000 sq ft with a glazed oak link — offering scope to create a large open-plan living area or extra bedrooms. The mature, south-facing gardens and a very large plot give plenty of outdoor space for family life, entertaining and vegetable or ornamental gardening. A 500 sq ft barn and multiple outbuildings add versatile storage, hobby or home-business options.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the house is freehold, not listed, has mains services and fast broadband, and sits in a very affluent, low-flood-risk area. Heating is provided by a boiler and electric radiators and double glazing was fitted after 2002, but the property’s original sandstone/limestone walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation — buyers should allow for potential retrofit insulation and the higher running costs associated with electric heating. Council Tax is Band G, which reflects the property’s size and will be relatively costly to run.
This home suits families seeking countryside character with room to grow, buyers wanting a renovation/extension project with planning in place, or those who value private gardens and ancillary buildings. The combination of move-in-ready refurbishment and clear scope to extend makes it a rare opportunity in this part of Northamptonshire.
