House For Sale £875,000
A substantial town centre family home, in need of improvement, with versatile accommodation, including a guest flat, office and garden annex, set within grounds of 0.18 acres.
This rare property offers so much potential and a wide range of options within its versatile layout. The original Victorian house offers many original features within its beautifully proportioned rooms. It is coupled to a large, modern extension, over the neighbouring kitchen studio, which offers a huge games room, a guest flat and an office, which has its own access, from the rear. The property can serve as one dwelling, or can easily be separated. Outside, there is ample parking, accessed via the shared lane to the west of the property. The property enjoys beautiful gardens, within which, is a stylish annex, which is a conversion from the former stable and hayloft.
The house has a lovely hall, providing access to the bay fronted living room, which has an open fire as a focal point, and original picture rail and cornicing. The dining room over-looks the garden, and it too, has a fireplace. The kitchen is at the back of the house and has east-facing windows, flooding the room with morning light. There is ample preparation area and space for family meals. The useful utility and cloakroom are beyond.
The first-floor landing is approached via the elegant stairs from the hall. There is access to all six bedrooms, four of which have a beautiful view over the church and across Stoke Hill. There are two bathrooms. A door links to the games room, which in turn, leads through to the guest flat, offering scope for enlargement, or full integration to the house. The flat has a kitchenette, an open plan bed-sitting room and a shower room. The office is next door and again offers scope for enlargement of the flat. A staircase leads down to the rear door which opens to the parking area, and continues on down to the basement storage. This rear door means total separation and independence from the house is possible.
There is vehicle access to the west of the property, up a shared drive. The property has a parking area for several vehicles and large timber gates opening to the rear garden. The garden is divided into ‘rooms’ creating areas of interest. A large terrace offers entertaining and dining space, with a path leading beyond the annex to the flower garden, which has established rose beds, and well-stocked raised beds -a riot of colour. There is a further dining terrace. A shed is set to one corner.
The Annex
The annex is a beautiful conversion, built of stone and brick. It offers accommodation of approximately 309s q ft. Within, there is a kitchen, a WC and an office or sitting room. A spiral staircase leads to the first-floor bedroom or a second office.
Agent’s Note
81 West Street has been a wonderful family home for many years and is now ready for new custodians who have the imagination to realise the property’s full potential. This property is truly versatile. It offers over 4,000 sq ft of accommodation in the main house, plus a further 309 sq ft in the garden annex. Working from home, or having a business premises adjacent to the house, are clearly options. There is also scope for rental income, from either the guest flat or the garden annex. Planning Permission was granted in March 2020 for the division of the property, to two dwellings. Further information and drawings are available from the agent, or on the North Northamptonshire Council planning portal, under reference number 19/01463/Ful.
