House For Sale £350,000
Four Bedroom Detached Property for Sale in Crick, Northamptonshire
Tucked away up a small path with just two other properties, in a quiet cul-de-sac on the edge of Crick village, is this very pleasant four-bedroom detached property. You couldn't ask for a more private position to the front, with an enticing front garden, enclosed by mature trees, hiding you from the road. It also benefits from a detached, single garage, with a driveway sufficient for up to three vehicles at the rear of the property.
This is a fantastic opportunity to buy a property that needs redecoration and a number of new carpets, but is accordingly attractively priced. It is an excellent alternative to buying a house that is in a pristine decorative state as the price allows you to make the changes you want to put your own stamp on it and turn it into a home.
The property sits just off Watford Road on The High Leys – a very peaceful cul-de-sac, where properties like this (and certainly in this price range) rarely come to market. It is certainly 'location, location, location' that you are investing in here.
The current owners have enjoyed this property for 35 years, which clearly indicates how desirable the location is, and one thing they have kindly given us permission to say, is that the size of the property is very much reflected in the collection of items they have kept over the years. The house is filled with a great many possessions that they will take with them when they leave… it is very much a home. In the meantime, you need to see past these, to appreciate how spacious it is. We do recommend that you come and take a look at the property, as the current owners have certainly done a good job in making the most of it.
As we have mentioned, the house is in need of improvement but this is only aesthetic on the inside. The structure and external elements of the property are in good condition.
The downstairs accommodation starts with a welcoming hallway in the middle of the home, which features a unique flight of stairs that divides the hallway in two but at the same time keeps it opened up.
To the front of the property there is a large lounge with two windows that attractively look out over the private front garden.
There is also a handy downstairs cloakroom/WC in the hallway.
Through the hallway to the rear of the house is an open plan, kitchen/dining room/family room, and this is where we think you could create something special - after all, it is very popular now for open plan kitchen/dining rooms to be at the rear of the property, as it is very much the 'hub' of the home for the modern family.
The dining room and kitchen face the low maintenance, sunny, rear garden. The garden wraps around the rear of the house with plenty of space for mature plants, and is mainly covered by a patio, from which there is also pedestrian access into the detached garage.
Upstairs, you will find four bedrooms, an airing cupboard and a family bathroom. Three bedrooms each have a substantial, built-in, enclosed cupboard and the other has a recessed storage area, which could be enclosed with a double door. The bathroom features a jacuzzi-style bath, with a brand-new power shower over one end.
The loft is partly boarded and is accessible with a drop-down ladder. The property is on oil-fired central heating with an outside boiler and the property benefits from UPVC double glazed windows.
This home sits just a short walk from the village centre.
Crick is a community-based village, which stages many popular events, including an annual scarecrow festival and the Crick Boat Show, also held annually. It's the ideal village for families.
It offers the perfect village lifestyle with its many walks right on your doorstep, including Cracks Hill, Millennium Wood and of course the beautiful Grand Union Canal.
You also have a local Co-op, Post Office, and a choice of three pubs (The Wheatsheaf, Royal Oak, and The Red Lion - all within walking distance). There is also the Ex-Servicemen's Club (Crick Club) which is a great place to have a drink.
Pickle and Pie, the local deli, does a fantastic range of breakfast and lunches to eat in or take away - perfect if you're working from home and want to nip somewhere for a coffee and a sandwich (their Scotch eggs are amazing too by the way.)
Crick also has many activity groups for the family, including Cubs and Scouts, football, cricket, cycling, and a local history group.
A lot of families move into Crick because it is a family-friendly village and the surrounding schools are a huge attraction. Crick primary school is a short, safe walk away and there are many secondary schools within a few miles. Most children of secondary age in the village attend Guilsborough school; however, the two highly regarded grammar schools, Lawrence Sheriff and Rugby High, are accessible through the eleven-plus examination, and there are further state-funded alternatives including Ashlawn in Hillmorton and the new secondary school at Houlton, to say nothing of the world famous, fee-paying Rugby School.
Crick is served by an excellent road network, being located within a couple of miles of Junction 18 on the M1, and only a few miles further from the M6 and the A14. Stations at Rugby and Long Buckby, both approximately seven miles away, offer first-rate rail links to London and Birmingham, and there are plans for the eventual construction of a new station at Houlton - the new town that is being built three miles away between Rugby and Crick.
