Characterful four-bed home on 0.4+ acre plot with huge extension potential, sold at auction..
Attractive 1920s Arts and Crafts dormer bungalow with character features
This attractive 1920s Arts and Crafts dormer bungalow sits on a rare plot of over 0.4 acres in the village of Blisworth. Character features include a triple-aspect sitting room, separate dining room with wood-burning stove, a conservatory and flexible four-bedroom accommodation arranged over two floors. The established, south-facing gardens, productive kitchen beds and detached double garage give immediate outdoor enjoyment and practical storage for a busy family.
The house offers clear scope for improvement and adaptation: the large plot may allow extension or subdivision (subject to planning). Internally the kitchen and some finishes are functional rather than contemporary, so a purchaser looking to personalise will find good potential to reconfigure the layout or update services to modern standards. Ultra-fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit home working or connected family life.
There are important practical considerations to factor. The property is adjacent to a railway embankment and passing trains will be audible despite mature screening. It is of non-standard timber-frame construction with roughcast render, which may restrict mortgage options with some lenders; buyers should check finance availability before bidding. The location is shown to have a high flooding risk and the EPC rating is E. Additionally, there is a single main bathroom for four bedrooms. The property will be sold at online auction, chain free, and purchasers should allow time to review the legal pack and arrange finance.
For buyers after a character home with an exceptional garden and scope to improve, this dormer bungalow offers rare potential in a well-served village setting. Families or purchasers seeking a renovation project with development upside and quick access to Northampton and the A43/M1 should consider viewing, armed with lender advice and information from the auction legal pack.
