3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

The Property

81 Ebbw Vale Road is a semi-detached, double-fronted home made for a family. Persimmon built the Pine Trees estate in the early 2000s, with this property completed in 2004. The current owners bought it second-hand in 2018 and have made changes since, such as refitting the kitchen during the pandemic, refreshing the garden more recently, and replacing the boiler three years ago. There’s still opportunity to update further, and the interiors are a blank canvas.

Being double-fronted, the property has balanced living accommodation. On the ground floor is a lounge and a conservatory on the left and the kitchen/diner/utility on the right, with a wide hallway in between. There’s also a cloakroom tucked under the stairs in the kitchen.

The lounge is a generous room, with dual aspects for natural light. There’s ample space for comfy sofas, and the bay window to the side makes a nice spot for an armchair. Through sliding doors is the conservatory, a flexible addition to the accommodation. The current owners use this as an office, but there’s possibility for a playroom if you have little ones, or simply somewhere separate to sit down and relax. With both underfloor heating and a ceiling fan, it’s useable throughout the year, and French doors onto the garden give seamless flow outside on sunny days.

The kitchen is generous too, with plenty of room for a dining area, plus a useful utility area around the corner. You can get dinner ready and put the washing on while the kids do their homework at the table – all in one big space. It’s also dual aspect, and with a back door onto the decking for taking food and drinks outside easily when you want to eat outside in summer.

The kitchen is in a contemporary style, with light-grey gloss cabinetry and wood-effect worktops, providing lots of storage and surfacing. There’s a ceramic sink and drainer, an integrated oven and hob, as well as space for further appliances including a dishwasher and an American fridge/freezer.

Heading upstairs from the hall, you’ll find three bedrooms and the bathroom branching off the landing. The primary bedroom has an en suite shower room – an essential in a family home these days – a built-in double wardrobe, and lovely outlooks of the cherry tree, covered in blossom in the spring. The primary and second bedrooms are large doubles, and bedroom three is a good-sized single currently used as a dressing room.

The Plot

81 Ebbw Vale Road occupies a corner plot along the edge of the estate. The frontage is mostly lawned, with a path to the front door, the cherry tree front and centre, and laurel hedging screening the property.

To the rear is a garden ideal for entertaining. Set up sofas and seating on the deck, fire up the barbeque on the back patio, and ramp up the party at the bar. The bar is covered, so you can have fun out here with friends and family come rain or shine. There’s privacy as only one side has neighbours and there are trees behind.

From the bar area is a convenience door into the garage. This is a single with space for one car, or may be more useful to you as storage. Built-in cupboards and a bench at the back offer a workshop area. There’s a parking space in front of the garage, and you can park more cars on the road if needed.

The Position

The Pine Trees estate sits above Irthlingborough Lakes and the River Nene, with 81 Ebbw Vale Road only a 5-minute wander down to the water. There’s lots of nature to discover on the doorstep, as well as at Stanwick Lakes and Irchester Country Park – both within a short drive – and out in the open countryside surrounding Irthlingborough.

Irthlingborough is a small town between the larger towns of Rushden, Wellingborough and Kettering and a half an hour drive into the county town of Northampton. There’s everything you could need within easy reach, from schools and sports facilities, to shops and supermarkets, to commuter stations and major roads. Trains into London St Pancras take as little as 42 minutes from Wellingborough, and you’re 15 minutes from the A509 to Milton Keynes by car.

Within a 10-minute drive of the address is Rushden Lakes, a hub for retail, restaurants and entertainment, including a cinema, a trampoline park and adventure golf. You’re all set for the summer holidays and the Christmas shopping here!
