5 bedroom detached house for sale

Built to an exceptional standard and set within an elevated plot of approximately one third of an acre, this superb five-bedroom detached home enjoys an idyllic position on the edge of the tranquil hamlet of Murcott, with far-reaching views over open countryside. Offering around 3,300 sq ft of beautifully crafted accommodation, the house has been designed to maximise its rural setting, with generous glazing and thoughtfully planned living spaces that embrace natural light and scenery.

Constructed by JKMK Developments Ltd - an esteemed Northampton-based father-and-son partnership known locally for their high-quality craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail - the property represents the opportunity to acquire a home of rare calibre.

The location is equally compelling. Murcott lies just half a mile west of the vibrant hilltop village of Long Buckby, positioned almost equidistant between Northampton and Rugby. The village’s excellent rail connections - regular services to London Euston and Birmingham New Street - and proximity to the M1 (J18 approximately two miles) offer an outstanding blend of countryside calm and commuter convenience. Long Buckby itself provides a wealth of facilities including small supermarkets, boutique shops, baker, deli, chemist, butcher, hairdresser, public houses, restaurants, churches, medical practice, dentist and library, complemented by an active array of social and sporting clubs.

The house has been conceived as a true family residence, with accommodation arranged across two floors. A welcoming hall leads to a generous lounge and an impressive kitchen/dining/family room, the natural hub of the home. Here, quartz-topped cabinetry, integrated appliances and abundant preparation space create a practical yet elegant environment for both family life and entertaining. A log burner sits handsomely within a chimney breast, adding warmth and character. Beyond, a utility room, study and cloakroom complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, the first floor presents five bedrooms. The principal suite is a sanctuary in its own right, featuring a spacious bedroom, walk-in dressing room and a beautifully appointed ensuite bathroom. Bedrooms two and three also enjoy ensuite shower rooms, while the remaining rooms are served by a stylish family bathroom. All bathrooms are fitted to an excellent standard. Windows throughout the upper floor frame views of the gardens and the rolling fields beyond.

The property benefits from modern energy-efficient technologies, including heating via an air-source heat pump. Outside, the rear garden is bordered by mature trees and post-and-rail fencing, offering privacy without diminishing the sense of openness. A double garage with electric doors, ample driveway parking and an EV charging point complete the external features.

This exceptional self-build home, occupying a privileged position within peaceful Murcott and conveniently close to Long Buckby’s rail and road links, exemplifies contemporary rural living at its finest.
