Description:
Thorpe cottage is a distinctive Edwardian mid-terrace home with architectural characteristics and build-quality which make it stand out from the crowd. The property has been tastefully refurbished and is available with no onward chain, making an ideal first-time purchase or investment property. Of particular note are the far-reaching countryside views across pastureland and the good sized private south facing rear with separate brick outbuilding. The property is located in the historic and vibrant village of Weedon benefiting from a good range of local facilities and an active community. Accommodation includes two good sized bedrooms, a front reception / sitting room, separate dining room, kitchen and bathroom.
Location:
As the street name suggests, Thorpe Cottage is located to the south of the vibrant village of Weedon which offers a combination of rural charm and modern amenities.
Originally known as Weedon-Bec this historic village lies close to the Roman Watling Street where it crosses the river Nene. The Grand Union canal also passes through the village providing tranquil waterside walks.
Nestled between the grand union canal and railway line is the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul. A church that was largely rebuilt in the early 19th century, but which still retains its fine and embattled tower from the 12th century.
Weedon is located close to the M1 motorway, making it easy for commuters to get into London or other major cities. There are also excellent transport links with nearby towns such as Daventry, Towcester, Northampton and Rugby.
For those looking for a peaceful place to live, Weedon Village is the perfect location. The village has green spaces, waterways, and good local amenities including shops, pubs and restaurants.
One of Weedon’s most familiar structures is the Royal Ordnance Depot. The site was allegedly chosen because of Weedon’s central location in the heart of England. Being the furthest point from the sea it would form a safe retreat for George III and his family in the event of a Napoleonic French invasion. The majority of the depot still stands today and now forms a unique space offering a selection of artisan workshops offices, studios, antique stores, book shops, and even has a brewery that holds events with local food vendors every weekend.
Local housing within the village varies from traditional cottages to modern family homes set within Northamptonshire countryside providing an ideal location for those seeking a rural lifestyle without sacrificing convenience or access to modern amenities.
