House For Sale £390,000
Three Bedroom, Semi-Detached, Character Property, For Sale in Kilsby, Northamptonshire.
This is such a brilliant, unique, and characterful home that we're not sure where to begin. The property has been well maintained both inside and out by the current owners. A lot of love, care and attention has been put into this property.
With a farmhouse style, this charming home is beautifully weaved with both character and modern, contemporary living.
The countryside location is beautiful, with views to the front and rear. We do want to acknowledge the obvious… the property is on Watling Street (otherwise known as the A5) however, you need to take our word for this – please do not let this deter you from the property. Come and take a look and you will see.
Even the current owners have admitted they very nearly didn't view it for this reason, but are so glad they did. The front of the property has triple glazing - you cannot hear the road. It is surprisingly not as busy as you might think. The current owners are only moving because they have committed to a change of lifestyle (hence no upper chain) otherwise they would happily stay here.
Have a look at the property video available on this page which will give you a full internal and external walkthrough of the property.
We would even go as far as saying that the rear garden, which is private and sunny, is surprisingly quiet and very relaxing. It has pedestrian access to the partly converted garage (we'll go onto that in a minute.).
Whereby the rear garden is used for a relaxing and social environment, the front garden is actually bigger and very functional. Although it is mainly laid to lawn, the current owners have taken advantage of the space and built a free-standing shed that will be staying and , also created a small allotment area – it's just so fitting for this home.
Next to the front garden is a gated parking area, big enough for two vehicles. The driveway in front of this is shared access but there is enough space to park here too (providing you allow enough space for your neighbours to drive through). So, plenty of parking!
As you can see from the photos and floorplan, there is a double garage that is partly converted with a salon. There is plenty of opportunity here as there is also a WC in-situ. You could utilise it as it is, or, it could be used as an office, a man cave (or she shed), an extra room, it could become a self-contained living area for a teenager or family member. Or, of course, you could just use it for what it is – a very spacious, detached double garage. The dividing wall by the way is just a partition so it can be taken back to a garage. It is important to note however, that this conversion has been carried out to a high-quality standard and is well insulated.
Inside, the property feels very spacious - certainly, for a cottage. Downstairs you have two, sizable reception rooms, a good size kitchen/breakfast room and a downstairs cloakroom/WC.
The kitchen has a lovely view of the front garden and has access to the rear garden. There is a large pantry and plenty of worktop space. There is more than enough room to accommodate a bar and stools, as you can see.
Through the hallway is a quirky, characterful, dining room with a feature bay window and fireplace, as well as a spacious, light and airy living room with a log burner in-situ, double French doors to the rear garden and access to the downstairs WC.
Even the doors in this property have their character and add to the overall appeal of this home.
Upstairs there are three, spacious, double bedrooms and a very delightful four-piece family bathroom.
One bedroom is currently used as a dressing room with beautiful, built-in wardrobes however, it can certainly still hold a double bed if necessary. The bathroom has both a bath and separate shower.
