4 bedroom detached house to rent

Steeped in over 340 years of history, this exquisite and beautifully preserved almshouse - originally known as the Montagu Hospital - stands in the heart of the charming Estate village of Weekley, directly opposite the parish church of St Mary the Virgin.

Founded in 1611 by Sir Edward Montagu of Boughton House, the almshouse was originally designed to house “poor men" of the parish. In the 19th century it was sympathetically converted into a single, gracious family residence while retaining virtually all of its original character. The property also starred in the 2005 production of "Pride & Prejudice" as "Hunsford", the home of "Mr Collins".

Accommodation comprises:

• Four double bedrooms (principal with en-suite)
• Two reception rooms with feature fireplaces
• Garden room
• Country kitchen with Aga
• Substantial gardens laid to lawn with a selection of mature trees and topiary hedging
• Gated driveway with ample parking for multiple vehicles, and a detached double car port with EV charger

Set in a tranquil position occupying a plot of circa 3/4 of an acre, the home offers complete privacy yet remains only moments from the village community.

Perfectly located for access to excellent schools (including Uppingham, Oundle, and Stamford), as well as mainline trains from Kettering (London St Pancras in under an hour), and the A14/A43 link roads.

Available unfurnished on a long-term let. There is a nearby 1.5 acres of horse grazing available if required via separate negotiation.

In summary, a fantastic opportunity to rent one of Northamptonshire's historic homes. Early viewing is highly recommended.
