House For Sale £1,750,000
Charles Orlebar presents - A Grade ii listed home built in the mid 18th century in the most idyllic setting with wonderful views on the edge of the charming and sought after older part of Finedon. Grove Cottage enjoys approx 13.5 acres, with plenty of wildlife and incredible sunsets. This ironstone built home was fully refurbished by the current owners back in 2001 to include a full repair of the slate roof and remodelling of the floor plan of the original cottage. Set behind electric gates, there is plenty of parking and the current owners added a separate building which incorporates a large car port, a workshop and an office, with a one bedroom self contained flat above these. Behind this, they later added the most wonderful garden room which is over 24ft long with a sold fuel burner at one end and this has been a wonderful space for socialising and enjoying the view across to St Mary's church, which is especially beautiful when lit up at night time. Grove Cottage itself offers an abundance of character including stone mullion windows, solid oak doors and exposed beams; with almost every room enjoying views across the garden - with the carp filled pond which was created by the current owners. Here the owners love seeing regular visits from a kingfisher, as well as kites and muntjac too. Window seats on the west side of the cottage are the perfect place to relax and watch nature at its best. The hub of the home is undoubtedly the hand made cottage style kitchen with its huge aga creating a sense of comfort and warmth - this has been home to so much laughter and fun over the last 20 plus years. Moving through to the dining room which can host the largest of dinner parties, there is a door from here leading to an enchanting small study which is filled with light and also overlooks the garden and pond. The sitting room at the far end of the cottage is clearly a room for relaxing and feels a peaceful place to end the day in winter with a cosy fire. Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms, two of which are very spacious and one benefits from a large ensuite. Moving outside, there is so much to enjoy! The garden surrounding the cottage and outbuildings is approximately 1.5 acres and this includes two areas for parking vehicles for all those guest who will want to visit! Big enough to host summer parties, or even a family wedding, you can easily imagine barbeques with children running round while adults float in and out of the garden room! Beyond this there are two areas of land both containing a stream: the first field might have potential for development of a single dwelling subject to planning permission and this leads onto a second field in which has a woodland area as well (perfect for youngsters to build camps and play in!). Located on the west side of Finedon and less than 10 minutes drive from Wellingborough train station, trains to London take around 56 minutes. Road links are excellent via the A6 and A45 onto the A14 and M1 / M6 and A1. Rarely do such idyllic properties come on to the market in east Northamptonshire and this is definitely unique in so many ways.
