Description
8 The Green is a well-presented, detached, five-bedroom family home situated in an exclusive development within the highly desirable village of Church Stowe in South Northamptonshire. The property is constructed from coursed Pury End stone with facing brick quoins and has steeply pitched and tiled roofs incorporating gabled, dormer windows and bonnet hips. Accommodation includes five bedrooms with en-suite to master bedroom, two reception rooms, kitchen / breakfast room, large Georgian-style conservatory, ground-floor cloakroom, and family bathroom. The gravel driveway sweeps round to the double garage and provides off-road parking to the front aspect which is well-tended with established shrubs and trees. A gravel pathway to the right-hand side of the property provides gated access to the south west facing rear garden which backs onto pasture land.
Location
Occupying an exclusive development of just nine properties, this five-bedroom family home overlooks a private tree lined green in the heart of Church Stowe.
Church Stowe stands on a high ridge by the ancient Watling Street with serine rolling countryside views. Along with its neighbouring hamlet of Upper Stowe, Church Stowe forms Stowe Nine Churches.
There are several theories as to where ‘Nine Churches’ derives from. Legend has it that devout builders made eight attempts to erect a church here, but each time, the stones mysteriously vanished. Whether or not this tale holds true, the ninth church — now dedicated to St. Michael — was successfully raised and has proudly displayed its recently restored tower for approximately 1000 years.
Just a short walk away at Upper Stowe is the unique Old Dairy Farm, a complex of stone-built farm buildings some of which date to the sixteenth century. This vibrant farm offers a selection of independent shops, businesses, treatment centres, and artisan trades. The popular café is housed within a traditional stone barn and holds special evening events throughout the year.
Located equidistant between the market towns of Towcester and Daventry, Church Stowe is an ideal location for families seeking a peaceful location but maintaining nearby local amenities. With access to both the A5 and junction 16 of the M1 motorway, the village is also an easy commute to Milton Keynes where a wide range of shops and facilities are available as well as Milton Keynes Central Railway Station with direct and frequent trains to London Euston and Birmingham New Street.
There are various schooling options available nearby including foundational education at Weedon Bec Primary School, and The Bliss Charity School in Nether Heyford. Secondary education can be found at Campion School & Language College in Bugbrooke, and Sponne School in Towcester which has an Outstanding Ofsted rating. Private education is available at Spratton School, Northampton High School for Girls, Rugby School, and Quinton House in Upton.
