House For Sale £250,000
This freehold, former local authority house, sits on the end of a small row of similar properties in the lovely rural village of Holcot, it's large gardens give it huge potential for development and extension to the side and rear (subject to necessary planning consents). The house was a happy home to the former owners for many years and whilst you could move in as it is there is also now a great opportunity to modernise and develop the property into a fabulous modern and spacious family home with a good sized garden and countryside views to the rear and all in such a great location within walking distance of Pitsford Reservoir.
Let's take a closer look, so through the garden gate into the pretty front garden with plenty of room and the potential for off road parking. The front door leads into a compact hallway with stairs to the first floor and door to the lounge but as we are in the country let's go round to the back door, found on the side of the house, because this is where you may start and see the potential. The back door leads into a small hall with doors to a downstairs w.c., an under stairs cupboard/pantry and door to the kitchen/diner which has windows overlooking the rear garden and a small range of fitted units. A door from the kitchen takes you into the lounge, with feature fireplace and window to the front aspect. A further door leads into the front hall with stairs rising to the first floor.
On the first floor you will find two bedrooms and the family bathroom. The main bedroom is at the front of the house with original fireplace and fitted wardrobes, bedroom two is at the rear, again with a feature fireplace and with lovely countryside views, alongside is the house family bathroom which features a loo with a view!
The house sits on a good sized plot with pretty cottage gardens to the front and side and the rear garden has a patio, lawns and vegetable patch, a shed and greenhouse and overlooks acres of adjacent countryside, the side garden extends to approximately seven metres.
The village of Holcot is in a fabulous rural location yet perfectly placed for easy access to many surrounding towns being almost equidistant between Northampton, Kettering and Wellingborough. Excellent road and rail connections are easily accessible making this the ideal retreat for commuters to London, Birmingham and the Midlands with the M1, A14 and M6 within easy reach as well as railway stations in all three nearby towns. Holcot has a pub, "The White Swan" and a village hall which is active with classes and events . The thriving villages of Moulton and Brixworth are just a five minute drive away where you find a vast array of amenities including public houses, doctors surgery, dental practice, library, convenience stores, post office, greengrocers, butchers, cafes, hairdressers and a selection of other village shops. With Pitsford Reservoir just a stones throw away, the country park offers many outdoor pursuits, including fishing, sailing, cycling and wonderful countryside walks alongside the waters of the reservoir. Other sports in the area include golf at nearby Church Brampton and Harlestone, as well as cricket and tennis clubs in Brixworth. There are village primary schools in nearby Walgrave and Brixworth, senior state school at Moulton and a number of private independent schools providing education for pupils of all ages in the nearby villages of Maidwell, Pitsford and Spratton and many more in neighbouring towns.
