A handsome early-1800s stone cottage set in a sought-after Northamptonshire village, offered with no onward chain. Period features — exposed beams, stonework, ledge-and-brace doors, open fireplaces and a log-burning stove — give the house genuine character and comfortable, well-proportioned rooms across two storeys. The detached single garage, driveway and large mature rear gardens are rare finds in this location.
The ground floor layout includes two generous reception rooms, a study, garden room and a long kitchen; upstairs are three bedrooms and a sizeable bathroom. Practical positives include mains gas central heating, double glazing and good broadband and mobile coverage for a rural setting. The plot provides privacy, a paved patio, shaped lawns, raised vegetable beds and a greenhouse — appealing to families and gardeners alike.
Buyers should note the property needs renovation and routine modernisation throughout; some internal areas show dated fittings and there is reported potential damp in the sitting room that will need investigation and repair. The stone walls are likely uninsulated and the EPC is D, so sympathy with upgrade costs is sensible. Council Tax sits above average (Band E).
This freehold cottage suits purchasers seeking a character home to improve and personalise in a quiet village with good commuter links. It will particularly suit a family or couple wanting substantial garden space and traditional features, while anyone after a completely turn-key property should factor in refurbishment and insulation works.
