4 bedroom village house

This attractive stone-built village house, believed to date from around 1865, in the heart of the village, has been extensively renovated and remodelled by the vendor, with new services, recessed downlights, decoration, fixtures and fittings and oak doors while retaining all the character and period features of the old house including ceiling beams.

The accommodation extends to nearly 2,000 square feet and works very well for 21st-century living, with a large kitchen/breakfast/living room opening on to the garden patio and fitted to a high standard with integrated appliances, Corian tops and a breakfast bar. With south-facing windows and high-level roof lights, the kitchen is bathed in sunlight and with a utility room off, with sink and plumbing for washing machine and dryer. The drawing room retains the traditional feel of the property with a brick fireplace with timber surround, exposed stonework and timbers. The dining hall also has a traditional feel, with limestone flooring, with the staircase rising to the first floor with glass balustrade and with understair cupboard and a cloakroom with WC to one side. Boiler room with the central heating boiler and pressurised hot water system with zoned heating with Nest controls.

On the first floor is the south-facing principal bedroom overlooking the garden, with a study/dressing area and en suite shower room. There are steps down to south-facing bedroom two, with bedrooms three and four on the opposite side of the landing. Steps from the landing rise to the family bathroom, with a free-standing bath, WC, basin and separate shower.

A shared access leads to a parking area with private parking spaces for The Old House. There is a lawned garden and flagstone seating area.

The Old House is situated in the heart of the picturesque village of Boughton, in the Conservation Area, surrounded by lovely stone houses and cottages. The village is situated on the northern fringes of Northampton.

The village is a thriving community supporting many active clubs and societies and has a primary school, Church, village hall, public house, pocket park and cricket ground. Further amenities nearby include a small supermarket serving Costa coffee, post office, Chinese takeaway and the Lassan Indian restaurant (The Chronicle and Echo's restaurant of the year 2019). Secondary schooling is in the neighbouring village of Moulton, less than 2 miles away.

The A508 Market Harborough to Milton Keynes road runs directly alongside the village giving access to A14, leading to the M1 and M6 motorways at the Catthorpe Interchange.
