AN ATTRACTIVE THREE BEDROOMED SEMI DETACHED STONE COTTAGE IN NEED OF SOME MODERNISATION IN THE HEART OF THIS ATTRACTIVE ESTATE VILLAGE

The launch of The Old Post Office to the market offers purchasers a very rare opportunity to acquire a freehold property within the estate village of Cottesbrooke in attractive rural North Northamptonshire. The property enjoys a prominent position fronting onto Main Street and benefits from private drive leading to off road parking and garaging.

The cottage is very habitable and offers a deceptive amount of accommodation and greatly benefits from the conservatory added to the rear overlooking the pretty cottage garden and linked to the Kitchen. A viewing will be essential to appreciate the lifestyle opportunities on offer and its tranquil position in the heart of this picturesque rural village.

Three reception rooms run along the front of the property comprising cosy double aspect family room with corner fireplace housing an electric Dimplex fire, well proportioned dining room sitting in the centre with direct access to kitchen and at the far end is the study with built-in wooden cupboards.

The sitting room benefits from an open fireplace with cast iron grate and either side are recessed cupboards with display/book shelving above. Glazed French doors open into the conservatory and a half glazed door opens to the kitchen.

The kitchen lies to the rear featuring fitted pine kitchen which opens directly onto the conservatory with views over the side garden. Cooking facilities are provided by white two oven oil fired aga supported by integral Phillip’s oven and Neff microwave. Below the sink is an integrated Zanussi dishwasher and a door reveals a very useful shelved walk-in pantry cupboard.

Lying off the kitchen is a downstairs cloakroom and utility room with plumbing for washing machine, enamel butler sink and housing oil fired central heating boiler.

The stairs rise to the first floor and divide. The principal bedroom suite is a great size lying on the front of the cottage with central fireplace and archways either side offer access to the dressing room with full run of fitted wardrobes. In the corner of the bedroom is the en suite bathroom. Bedroom two lies to the front too with built-in wardrobe and pedestal hand basin as has bedroom three which is a single.
