Set on Wappenham Road in the desirable village of Abthorpe, this Grade II listed detached cottage blends original character with comfortable living. The ground floor offers a sitting room with a feature fireplace and wood-burning stove, plus a kitchen/dining area with bifold doors opening onto well-presented gardens and patio seating. Two double bedrooms and two bathrooms occupy the first floor, delivering flexible accommodation for couples, small families or those seeking a countryside retreat.
Outside, the gravel driveway provides off-street parking and the gardens are thoughtfully planted with multiple patio areas and lawn, enjoying open views across adjacent paddocks. The plot is a notable asset for village properties, providing private outdoor space and pleasant vistas. Practical connections include mains electricity, water and drainage; the property is freehold and sits in a low-crime, affluent area with good road links to the A43 and nearby towns.
Important practical notes are straightforward: the home is Grade II listed, so alterations and some modernisations will be restricted and require listed-building consent. Broadband is reported as very slow in the immediate area — though community broadband is available — and the property’s energy rating is exempt due to its listed status. These factors suit buyers who prioritise charm and setting over large-scale renovation or high-speed internet requirements.
