A detached, deceptively large and modernised bungalow with lovely countryside views in a popular village close to Oundle.

Description

Situated at the heart of the charming village of Cotterstock, Shenaval is a detached bungalow, backing onto open countryside with lovely rural views. The delightful home was built in the early 1990’s and has been modernised in recent years, including a new kitchen, new bathroom, flooring, the addition of a wood-burning stove and French windows in the sitting room and an air-source heat pump.

Deceptive from its exterior profile, this spacious bungalow with high ceilings and plenty of natural light provides single storey accommodation with a versatile layout. Internally the home is attractively presented, with character features including exposed beams and a neutral colour palette throughout.

Accommodation
The light and airy hallway, with inner porch and cloakroom/W.C opposite, leads through to the well-appointed kitchen with Quartz worktops, inbuilt Smeg appliances including induction hob, two ovens, proving drawer and central dining kitchen island. Bedroom Two is a bright double bedroom, with dual aspect windows. To the rear of the property, the large 25ft sitting room, with feature log burner, takes advantage of the fabulous views over the garden and fields beyond, from here, two sets of French doors open onto the delightful, mature, garden.

The spacious principal bedroom also has great views to the rear. Bedroom Three, also a double, is currently being used as a dressing room, offering flexible accommodation. There is a modern four-piece family bathroom features a Lusso solid stone bath and Grohe fittings. The utility room, next to the study, provides both rear access to the garden and internal access to the large double garage. These areas could be easily reconfigured if desired, providing further scope for development and possibly conversion (stpc). There is substantial loft space with power and light which could also be converted (stpc).

Outside
There is ample parking on a gated gravel driveway to the front, with on-street parking also available with the added benefit of an integral double garage. The gates are electrically operated and there is also a car charging point. The rear garden is an excellent size and mostly laid to lawn, with a large terrace adjoining the back of the house and a number of trees. Post and rail fencing to the rear provides lovely open views of the countryside beyond.

Location
Cotterstock is a semi-rural village situated two miles north of Oundle, a pretty English market town on the river Nene. The town has a traditional core dating back to medieval times, of largely period stone and Collyweston stone-tiled properties and a magnificent church with a fine 210ft spire.

Oundle is an important market town for surrounding villages and has a good range of shops, boutiques, delis and a Waitrose.

Oundle School, an outstanding independent co-educational day and boarding school, forms the heart of the town with playing fields and open spaces creating the feel of a miniature university town. Further exceptional public schooling is available in Stamford, Oakham and Uppingham, as is excellent state education in Oundle itself.

There are direct rail links from Peterborough to London Kings Cross (49 mins) and nearby road links include the A14 and the A1(M).
