Set on Main Street in a quiet village, this extended stone cottage blends original character with a large L-shaped open-plan extension. The kitchen/diner flows into a sunroom, creating a generous family hub, while a separate utility and converted garage (storage and gym) add practical space. The south-facing rear garden receives good sun and opens onto farmland views — ideal for families who value outdoor space and country living.
The house was built before 1900 and retains period features, but buyers should note the stone walls are assumed uninsulated and the double glazing was installed before 2002. Heating is by oil boiler with radiators; there is no community-fuel option. These factors mean energy efficiency could be improved and may justify targeted upgrades.
Practical positives include off-street parking with an electric gated driveway, low local crime, fast broadband, and access to well-regarded village and nearby schools — from a small local primary to highly ranked independent schools in Oundle. The plot is small, so the garden is manageable rather than extensive.
The property is offered freehold with affordable council tax and no flood risk. Prospective buyers are advised to commission their own surveys and service checks, particularly for heating, insulation and any works related to the garage conversion. Viewings strictly by appointment.
