Summary - Constable Cottage, 11 Sycamore Grove Estate, Drumming Well Lane PE8 4AA
1 bed 1 bath Cottage
Charming 1-bed stone cottage with private courtyard in the heart of Oundle.
Freehold one-bedroom stone cottage in central Oundle
Constable Cottage is a compact, stone-built one-bedroom home tucked into the heart of Oundle, offering period character and a peaceful courtyard just steps from shops and amenities. The house combines traditional features — exposed stonework, sash windows, oak timbers and Burgundian stone flooring — with practical modern comforts such as mains gas heating (boiler and radiators), an upgraded bathroom and ultrafast broadband. Its freehold tenure and low-crime, affluent setting make it appealing for someone looking to downsize without sacrificing town-centre convenience.
The ground floor is arranged as an open-plan living and kitchen area designed for cosy, low-maintenance living; the bespoke fitted kitchen and electric fireplace create a warm, useable space for everyday life. Upstairs, a well-proportioned double bedroom and a fully tiled bathroom with shower-over-bath complete the accommodation. The private paved courtyard provides a sheltered spot for outdoor seating and container planting — rare for central cottages.
Buyers should note the property’s compact footprint: the overall living area is small (approximately 480 sq ft) and best suited to a single occupant or couple rather than a family. The stone walls are characteristic and attractive but are assumed to lack wall insulation, which may affect long-term energy efficiency despite the EPC C rating. Council tax band is listed as B but the exact liability should be confirmed.
Overall this is a characterful, low-maintenance cottage for someone seeking a central Oundle address, strong local amenities, excellent connectivity and a manageable outdoor space. It offers immediate move-in potential with scope for further energy improvements if desired.
