House For Sale £625,000
Four Bedroom Detached Character Cottage For Sale in Flore Northamptonshire.
Dating back to 1737, this imposing Grade II listed, character, property was, up until 1965, The Old Queen's Head public house, frequented by the military, whose barracks were based at The Ordnance Depot in Weedon, as well as a few other locals!.
If these walls could talk I'm sure they would have a few tales to tell...
Now, it is a welcoming family home, with a wonderful south facing garden.
I absolutely adore the gated entrance in the wall which the current custodians use as the main way into the property, it's like walking into Mr McGregor's garden.
Once through the gate you are completely in your own little world. The garden is private and sunny, as depicted by some of the photographs that were taken last summer with the flowers in full bloom.
The current owners have created a wonderful feeling of calm and tranquility within this secluded space.
An attractive conservatory used all year round, overlooks the garden.
The original conservatory was replaced by the current owners and is very much used by the whole family.
There's a farmhouse kitchen with an Aga and space for table and chairs.
I particularly like all the original little cupboards you'll find dotted all over this unique home.
The downstairs space is fantastic.
There's a separate dining room with exposed, origina,l parquet flooring. This actually flows throughout the lounge and study as well as the dining room.
Exposed beams and fireplaces are just a few of the character features this home has. Can you spot where the locals sat?
The lounge has a working, open, fireplace for those cosy evenings and the study is a great space.
The study has French doors leading out to the garden so could also work if you have clients visiting the house as they would have separate access if you wanted to keep work and home life separate.
There's also a downstairs WC leading off the study so it would work superbly as a therapy room or there's even the potential to create a downstairs bedroom or granny annexe, with private entrance. .
On the first floor are two double bedrooms and the family bathroom. Both bedrooms have Sharps fitted wardrobes.
On the second floor are a further two bedrooms, this is a great space for teenagers or maybe a man cave or she den.
Now, there's no attic space as such but there is a fantastic cellar! So storing Christmas decorations and such like is really easy.
As it was a local hostelry, why not have your very own wine cellar, it would be rude not to!
The walled garden is south facing and comes to life in the spring and summer.
A lovely summer house with power and light provides a fabulous space to have a glass of wine and read, or to relax and chat with your friends.
The large garage offers plenty of space to tinker in and there are double gates to the courtyard, so if you want to store vehicles or trailers securely, then you can do so here with comfort..
The beautiful thatched roof in is fact Norfolk Reed, and has recently had routine maintenance carried out. The ridge was replaced in 2012.
Situated in the sought after Northamptonshire village of Flore, this wonderful home offers the best of both worlds - village living with an easy commute if required. Access to either the M1 or A5 are just a five minute drive away and Northampton train station, with direct links to London/Euston, is just a fifteen minute drive.
Flore has a wonderful community and has so much to offer its residents: a highly regarded primary school; a convenience store; a post office; a great pub, which does amazing Indian food; a coffee shop; a church and a village hall.
There are wonderful walks literally on your doorstep - the public footpath across the road takes you to Harpole and Flore sits on the Nene Jurassic Walk.
There's off road parking that would allow for three cars to park with ease at the front, so parking is no issue.
To fully appreciate all that this unique property and the village of Flore has to offer, please call the friendly team at Campbells to book your viewing slot.
