A hidden gem that includes a substantial riverside family home with 2 further very versatile dwellings. Lock House is a unique and substantial 4 in 1 riverside property that offers up to 10 Bedrooms set in 1.5 acres of grassland below a wooded canopy near Oundle. It enjoys 150 metres of fishing and mooring rights from the garden!

Located in the idyllic heart of the Nene Valley, offering great commuter routes with Huntingdon (approx 15 miles) and Peterborough (approx 18 miles) serving Kings Cross and Wellingborough station (approx 17 miles) offering links into St Pancras in under an hour. Fantastic local schools are also only moments away with extensive state and private schools on offer: Oundle School, Stamford Endowed Schools, Kimbolton School, Kings Peterborough and Oakham School are all within a 21 mile radius with some offering bus services.

The Main House offers very versatile open plan living with 5 substantial Bedrooms, (2x En-suites), 4 Reception Rooms, Large Kitchen Diner, Study, Family Bathroom, Utility and Cloakroom. The house has been extensively renovated and extended by the current owners from the original Lock Keepers Cottage to encompass the wonderful family home that we see now. The family kitchen is a great space for entertaining. It is the hub of the house from which flows a large dining room that in turn leads out to a lovely barbeque area and a secluded garden area overlooking the river and lock. There is also underfloor heating throughout the downstairs and air conditioning throughout the property.

The outside space is just unique, offering a perfect spot for fishing, wild swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, boating and hiking. The garden has been home to trampolines, swing sets, ziplines and even rugby posts over the years as generations of families have enjoyed their time here as custodians of this historic property. There is also a wealth of feathered friend visitors from Herons to Kingfishers!

The additional 2 properties, offer the potential for circa £3,500 per month rental income, or multi-generational living, home business offices, Airbnb etc. include:
• ‘The Cottage’ offering 2 Bedrooms as well as Kitchen, Reception Room and Bathroom
• ‘The Lower Annex’ offers a 1 Bedroom apartment, Kitchen, Reception Room and Bathroom. Currently used as a home office for the current owners business
• ‘The Upper Annex’ offers a 2 Bedroom apartment, Kitchen, Reception Room and Bathroom.

All of this is set around the substantial driveway which is dominated by the 400 year old beech tree.

This is a truly unique property that offers so much and could be used in so many ways by the next lucky owners of this little piece of England.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
