This attractive three-bedroom stone cottage has been carefully refurbished and sits a short walk from Oundle’s market place. Recent upgrades include new windows and doors, a modern kitchen with integrated appliances, new bathrooms and a new boiler, so the house is largely move-in ready. The living room’s multi-fuel stove and period proportions give character while the loft/second-floor bedroom enjoys far-reaching front views.
Externally the property is compact: a small enclosed front garden with picket fence and a private rear garden with patio, raised beds and a shed. The rear garden is peaceful and not directly overlooked, bordering Herons Wood for a semi-rural feel despite its town-fringe location. Broadband is fast and local crime is low.
Important practical note: the house is Grade II listed, which preserves its character but will restrict alterations and may complicate future work or extensions. The plot is small and external amenity space is limited. Prospective buyers should check listed-building consent requirements before planning any changes.
Well-suited to a small family, downsizer or buyer seeking a characterful town cottage with modern services and good local schools, this property combines period charm with recent practical upgrades. It represents a rare, low-maintenance cottage offering in a very affluent, convenient part of Oundle.
