A wonderful opportunity to purchase a Grade II listed, detached, stone and thatched cottage circa 1750, situated in the desirable village of Roade with many local amenities. The property is thought to be one of the oldest properties in the village and has many character features to include exposed timbers, beams and stonework, inglenook fireplace and a stone well (now capped) which would have served many homes in the village. Modern day benefits include gas central heating to radiators, stylish fitted kitchen and bathroom with roll top bath  and a private driveway to a detached garage/outbuilding.

Accommodation offers lounge with living space extending to either side of the inglenook, kitchen with stable door to garden, garden room, second reception room or third/occasional bedroom in addition to two first floor bedrooms and bathroom.

LOCAL AREA INFORMATION

ROADE BYPASS NOW COMPLETE. Accessed via the A508 which links Northampton and Milton Keynes, Roade village is just 2 miles south of M1 J15. Much of the village's history can be attributed to the advent of the railway in the 19th Century, which saw local men and boys help to construct a cutting, line and station in the village. Completed in 1838 the station was unfortunately closed in 1964 though the West Coast Main Line continues to operate through the cutting. Today, this popular village has sought after primary and secondary schools as well as numerous facilities to include a medical centre, post office, library, newsagent, public house, coffee shop, garages, Methodist and Anglican churches. A variety of regular bus services operate through the village mainly to Northampton and Milton Keynes, both of which offer mainline train services to London as part of their timetables.
