House For Sale £625,000
This beautiful three-bedroom detached cottage is situated on a generous corner plot on a quiet no-through road within the village of Moulton, Northampton.
Built of local Northamptonshire stone in the 1860s, Dene Cottage was originally the home of the manager of the local brickworks. Over the years, it has had several additions, mostly of local brick, to its two up/two down format, bathrooms and bedrooms added, and the back door turned into the front.
The accommodation comprises an entrance hall, kitchen/breakfast room, open-plan lounge/dining room with a wood-burning stove, a family room/study, conservatory, utility room/w.c and a handy storage room.
On the first floor are three double bedrooms; the master has a stunning 4-piece en-suite with dressing area. There is also a family shower room. The reception rooms, kitchen/breakfast room and bedrooms benefit from the fantastic views of the sizable south-facing rear garden.
Vegetables and soft fruit are grown in the West facing borders, while a wide variety of shrubs and herbaceous perennials are found in those facing North and East. The central area is designed as a wildflower meadow, with winding paths leading to the old apple tree and hidden corners of the plot. In spring, chamomile, cornflowers and ox-eye daisies dominate this area and then later in the season, red campion, wild poppies, knapweed, cow parsley and yellow rattle.
The frontage of the cottage offers off-road parking and a single garage.
