House For Sale £595,000
A beautifully presented, energy efficient, modern house with versatile accommodation, garage and gardens, enjoying a rural outlook from the heart of this desirable village, close to Oundle.
Brookfield is a well-designed modern house that was built to the owners' own specification and design. Energy efficiency and ease of living were at the forefront of the design brief. The owners have been diligent in their maintenance of the property and have also updated it with further energy saving systems, including a large array of PV solar panels and an air source heat pump, to run the central heating system.
The accommodation is primarily set over two floors. In addition, a lower level sitting room has been added, which, along with the wet room, utility and garage, could be made into a decent annex for a dependent relative.
The front door opens to the hall. This has oak laminate flooring. A useful, deep storage cupboard is set to one end. The guest cloakroom is adjacent. The living room enjoys a double aspect with views over the front garden, the rear garden and the fields beyond. A door leads through to the conservatory, which is on the side of the house and enjoys the lovely views.
The conservatory is double-glazed and has a radiator installed, allowing year-round use. The kitchen is across the hall, and is superbly light with a large south-facing window and a second window overlooking the garden.
The kitchen area is fitted with a range of wall and base units with work surfaces and inset sink. The fridge is integrated. The electric oven and hob have an extractor hood above. Space and plumbing for a dishwasher. To one side is a shelved pantry. A further store houses the heating system. A breakfast bar divides the room and provides a place for informal meals. The remainder of the room is ample for a formal dining arrangement.
The side hall cum utility offers space for further appliances, as well as coat and boot storage. The tiled floor runs to the side door and to a back door opening to the garden. The garage can be accessed from the hall. An inner hall provides access to the useful wet room / WC and to the lower level sitting room. This has a great feel with a high ceiling and window and French doors opening to the garden. The focal point is the open fire set on a raised hearth.
The first floor is approached via stairs from the hall. The landing leads to each of the four bedrooms, three of which are double rooms and have built-in wardrobes. The principal bedroom and the second bedroom enjoy far-reaching views over the neighbouring countryside. The family bathroom used to contain a bath, but is now fitted with a glazed shower cubicle, WC and wash basin.
Brookfield stands back from the roadside, behind a stone wall with a timber gate that opens to the block-paved drive. This provides ample parking in front of the garage.
The front garden is lawned and has mature hedging and fencing to the boundaries. There is access to either side of the house, which leads down to the rear garden. Again, this is mainly lawned. A patio is set to enjoy the afternoon and early evening sunshine from the west. This is accessible from the sitting room and the back door. The rear garden is fenced and hedged, and there are lovely views across the fields to the rear.
