4 bedroom detached house

A surprisingly spacious family house, with superbly appointed and versatile accommodation, enjoying a beautifully landscaped garden, and set in the heart of a popular village with good access to Oundle, Stamford and Peterborough.

This great family house has been thoughtfully updated and extended in recent years to create a home of superb proportions and practicality. It offers versatility too, with the option to live on the ground floor, if required. The house has a modern and airy feel to it, with open spaces and plenty of light. However, there are still rooms where one can tuck themselves away, and escape the hubub of family life.

The entrance hall has a wide front door. There is a storage cupboard and a recess beneath the stairs.

The main sitting room is a large room but retains a cosy traditional feel, with a wood burner set into a carved stone fireplace.

The live-in kitchen is the hub of the home and offers tremendous space for cooking, formal dining and relaxation. There is plenty of light and a great view through the huge sliding doors that open to the garden.

The house sits behind a low stone wall, which opens to a gravelled parking area. There is gated side access which leads around to the rear garden. This west-facing garden has been superbly designed, planted and landscaped with large, paved terraces capturing the sunshine. The beds are planted to provide colour and interest throughout the year. Steps lead up to the lawn, which has maturing specimen trees planted.

The kitchen area is superbly fitted with an extensive range of cupboards, with Corian work surfaces, a double sink and a further prep sink. There are two electric ovens and a gas hob with extractor above. Other integrated appliances include a full height fridge and a dishwasher.

The boot room beside the kitchen has access to the outside. The large utility room is off to one side, and offers plenty of room for appliances.
Also off the boot room is a full wet room with Rinnai gas powered shower, WC and wash basin.
