4 bedroom detached house for sale

Four Bedroom Detached Property For Sale in Crick, Northamptonshire.

The term “fantastic and rare opportunity” is thrown around a lot in property listings these days…but in this case, it really is appropriate.

Tucked on the edge (quite literally) of Crick village, facing rolling fields to the rear is this four bedroom detached dormer bungalow. This home has been well loved by the same family for decades but it is now time for someone to perform a labour of love and bring it on to its new chapter.

Viewings for this property will be on Saturday 27th April by appointment only. Feel free to give us a call to book your private viewing.

It goes without saying that the biggest feature of this home is the 0.25 acre plot that is home to what is, quite frankly, one of the best, most cared for gardens in Northamptonshire. 

The garden features a wide variety of mature plants and trees, in particular the Magnolia Tree and Acer Tree are a sight to behold. The bottom of the garden has two greenhouses (with power) and a large shed that will be staying and poses as a great opportunity to have an allotment - trust us, there is enough space for it. It is any gardener/horticulturist's dream. There are a number of established fruit trees at the bottom of the garden. There is a Victoria Plum Tree, Damson Tree, Pear Tree, Cooking Apple Trees and Pink Lady Apple Tree as well as Raspberry Canes. There is also a nice pond feature.

The property video available on this page will take you around the whole garden and the inside of the house too.

The property does need updating, as you will see from the photos. However, the generous proportions of the rooms make customisation a breeze, allowing you to truly personalise the living space to suit your needs.

Subject to planning of course, there is plenty of void space in the roof that could still be extended and used as you will see from the floor plan, and the expansive garden will allow you to extend outwards to the rear should you wish.

However, the property is already a considerable size, plenty of room to just update what is here.

The downstairs is conveniently separated by the spacious hallway which leads to a large kitchen/breakfast room as well as a lounge/diner and sitting room, both of which are also fantastic sizes. There is also bedrooms three and four. 

Plenty of opportunity to reconfigure the current space to suit your needs. The accommodation is very flexible. This is the kind of opportunity to create your dream property in what is already a dream location.

Upstairs there is bedroom one and two which currently share a shower room as well as access to the loft space that, as mentioned, could be converted.

The front of the property has a sizeable driveway, big enough to comfortably fit two cars but again, plenty of opportunity to make it bigger. There is also an extensive detached garage which could be used for its current purpose or possibly converted and used for something else.

Crick is a sought-after village with a vibrant community spirit and this property is just a short walk from all local amenities.

It offers the perfect village lifestyle with its many walks right on your doorstep, including Crack's Hill, Millennium Wood and of course the beautiful Grand Union Canal.

You also have a local Co-op, Post Office and a choice of three pubs (The Wheatsheaf, Royal Oak, and The Red Lion - all within walking distance,) also there is the Ex-Servicemen's Club (Crick Club) which is a great place to have a drink. The doctors and pharmacy is also close by in the village and very useful to have on your doorstep.

Pickle and Pie, the local deli does a fantastic range of breakfasts and lunches to eat in or take away - perfect if you're working from home and want to nip somewhere for a coffee and a sandwich (their Scotch eggs are amazing too by the way!)

Crick also has many activity groups for the family including Cubs and Scouts, football, cricket, cycling and a local history group.

A lot of families move into Crick because it is a family friendly village and the surrounding schools are a huge attraction. Crick primary school is a short, safe walk away and there are many secondary schools within a few miles.

Most children of secondary age in the village attend Guilsborough school; however, the two highly regarded, grammar schools, Lawrence Sheriff and Rugby High, are accessible through the eleven-plus examination, and there are further State-funded alternatives including Ashlawn in Hillmorton and the new secondary school at Houlton, to say nothing of the world famous, fee-paying Rugby School.

Crick is served by an excellent road network, being located within a couple of miles of Junction 18 on the M1 and only a few miles further from the M6 and the A14. Stations at Rugby and Long Buckby are both approximately seven miles away, they offer first-rate rail links to London and Birmingham.

Overall, this extensive four bedroom detached property in Crick, not only presents a fantastic opportunity for a renovation project but also offers the flexibility and space for a comfortable and stylish family home. Don't miss out on the chance to unlock the full potential of this property
