House For Sale £550,000
A CHARMING AND BEAUTIFULLY PRESENTED PERIOD COTTAGE IN A VERY DESIRABLE VILLAGE SET IN SOME OF NORTHAMPTOSHIRE'S FINEST COUNTRYSIDE.
Orchard Cottage occupies a prominent position in the highly desirable village of Newnham and offers everything one looks for in a Grade II Listed cottage. The house dates back to the 17th Century and is presented in extremely good condition from top to bottom with period features to include latch doors, exposed timbers and deep windows some of which have window seats. The property has been sympathetically improved by the current owner during their time there and an inspection is essential in order to fully appreciate the charm and standard of accommodation on offer.
On the ground floor an entrance lobby provides access to a sitting room with light oak floor and windows to both the front and rear elevations which offer a light and airy feel throughout. There is a former inglenook fireplace with wood burner fire set to a thick stone hearth and door providing access to the wonderful landscaped gardens. Access is provided to a dining/family room, also with oak flooring, windows to both the front and rear aspects and door to the gardens. Adjacent to the sitting room there is a kitchen/breakfast room handmade and supplied by Fraser James comprising a range of fitted units together with dresser and display cabinet. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, fridge, freezer and washing machine together with a gas fired Aga. Further features include a large enamel sink set to granite worktop surfaces, Travertine flooring, shelved fitted cupboard and dual aspect.
An oak staircase rises to the first floor landing area with oak flooring which in turn leads to the bedrooms, both of which have built-in wardrobes and oak floorboards. Also to the first floor there is a stylish house bathroom suite comprising bath with shower above, WC, wash hand basin, heated towel rail, oak flooring and tiling to the walls.
The second floor is dedicated to a stunning master bedroom suite with full height ceiling with exposed timbers.
There are also fitted and built-in wardrobe/cupboards and two windows provide an attractive elevated aspect over the rear landscaped gardens.
