Summary - 55 HIGH STREET GRETTON CORBY NN17 3DF
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Grade II listed five-bed with extensive gardens and versatile outbuildings.
Grade II listed detached house, early 1700s character
Greenwood House is a distinguished Grade II listed, five-bedroom detached home in the heart of Gretton, set on nearly half an acre of mature, south-facing gardens. Built in the early 1700s, the property combines original stone elevations and Collyweston slate roofing with recent interventions such as a 2021 garden room with plumbed underfloor heating. The house offers generous reception rooms, a country kitchen/breakfast room, and a vaulted loft bedroom that doubles as a private hideaway.
Practical outbuildings add value: a 2004 oak-clad workshop and carriage house provides garaging, workspace and scope for conversion (subject to necessary consents) into an annexe or studio. The broad gravel driveway and off-street parking accommodate several cars, while village amenities, a well-regarded primary school and easy road links to Corby and Kettering make this a convenient rural residence.
Buyers should note material considerations: the Grade II listing and conservation-area location will restrict alterations and require listed-building consent for many works. Heating is oil-fired, and as a 1700s home some remedial maintenance and sympathetic restoration should be expected. Council Tax is in a high band, reflecting the house size and running costs.
This is a character-rich house for someone who values historic fabric, large private gardens and flexible outbuilding potential. It will suit a family seeking village life with strong schooling nearby or a buyer looking for a project that balances immediate comfort with long-term enhancement opportunities.
