5 bedroom terraced house

STUNNING TOWN HOUSE. A fine example of a late Victorian, substantial, terraced house retaining a great deal of original character enhanced with additional features which are thought to have been added during the art deco period. The property offers a storm porch with feature canopy over, stained glass and leaded light entrance door to internal hallway with terrazzo flooring, dining room, breakfast room with offset fitted kitchen, three compartment cellar with scope for conversion (subject to all necessary consents) rear sitting room with casement doors opening in to the garden; split level first floor landing serving three bedrooms, a bathroom and a washroom and the continuation of staircase rising to the second floor giving access to two further bedrooms.  Outside is a low maintenance front courtyard with wrought iron railings and a wonderful rear garden extending to around 100’ in length with paved terrace and lawned garden beyond with a variety of fruit trees and a grape vine. Viewing is essential to appreciate this home fully.   EPC Rating: E. Council Tax Band: E

LOCAL AREA INFORMATION

Once a village, Kingsthorpe is now a suburb to the northwest of Northampton town centre with the old village set behind A508 Harborough Road. Starting at the junction where local landmark public house, The Cock Hotel, is sited, this road takes you past Kingsthorpe Shopping Centre which is home to two large supermarkets, a pharmacy, mobile phone store, coffee shop, pet store and bank. Across the A5199 Welford Road junction further shops, banks, take away foods and public houses line the road continuing up to the Whitehills area of this suburb where you’ll find the OFSTED “outstanding” Whitehills primary school. As you travel up the Boughton Green Road towards Moulton you’ll pass Kingsthorpe College secondary school. Areas set off the A5199 Welford Road benefit from having the Brampton Valley Way on their doorstep which is hugely popular for dog walking, hiking and cycling. With the aforementioned main access roads and Northampton’s mainline train service to London Euston and Birmingham New Street, transportation links from this very popular area are well catered for.
