5 bedroom detached house for sale

A large and versatile family home with parking, carport and gardens, in all about 0.44 acres, enjoying lovely, southerly, rural views. Good access to Oundle, Stamford & Corby station.

This detached house has Victorian origins, serving as a chapel to the Bulwick estate. The property was extended during the 20th Century to create a fairly substantial family home with versatile accommodation. More recent works have included alterations to create a vast living room. A new kitchen has been installed, along with a new central heating system and new flooring throughout.

The accommodation is set over two floors. The ground floor has a truly versatile layout, with the potential to create an annex or at least a ground floor bedroom suite if required. The sizeable hall is welcoming and provides access to the main living rooms of the house. To one end is the large living room which has a window to the front and French doors opening to the garden. Adjacent is the sitting room, with wood burning stove and doors to the garden. This could be a fifth bedroom, as a door leads into a shower room / WC.

The dining room has a view down the garden and a door leading into the kitchen. The kitchen has recently been updated with an extensive range of wall and base units with inset sink and quartz worksurfaces. An electric range cooker is the focal point. A dishwasher and a fridge are integrated. The wood flooring runs through to the garden room which is large enough for family or formal mealtimes. To the other end of the kitchen is the utility room and the guest cloakroom.

There are two staircases to the first floor. The main stairs lead to a large landing which serves as a study area. This provides access to the family bathroom and three of the bedrooms. Each bedroom enjoys a far-reaching rural view. A staircase leads from the kitchen, directly to the main bedroom, giving privacy and discreet access to the homeowner. This attractive bedroom has great views from two windows. There is also a well-appointed en suite shower room. The main bedroom can also be reached via a linked bedroom, offering the potential for this to serve as a dressing room or nursery.

The house has an in and out, gravelled drive, providing ample parking. A covered two bay carport stands to one side. This could be closed in to provide more shelter and storage. Vehicle access leads past the house, to the rear garden, where one may be able to build further garaging, subject to necessary consents. A large patio spans the back of the house and offers a great space for alfresco dining, in the southerly sunshine. The rear garden is currently work in progress but could have a lengthy lawn and outstanding rural views.
