Full Description

If you yearn for flexible living space for your growing family, combining rural living with the convenience of modern luxury living and commuter access, then this refurbished, detached family home, built c2006 by Francis Jackson Homes, (Olney), with five double bedrooms, show-stopping reception hall and an open plan living dining kitchen, could be your next dream home.

Accommodation - As you step in through the front door your breath will be taken by the size and height of the reception hall and its striking central staircase and split galleried landing. The double height and wall space combine to offer the perfect gallery space for hanging your favourite artwork or family pictures, and tucked in the corner is the guest cloakroom.

To your left is the heart of this home, the 25ft open plan living dining kitchen. Reconfigured and re-fitted with an extensive range of contemporary wall and base units with stonework surfaces over offering plenty of storage and prep space, the kitchen provides the perfect place for entertaining family and friends. Integrated appliances include two AEG double ovens, Miele induction hob with extractor fan, Miele dishwasher, a fridge, and a ceramic double Belfast sink. There is an abundance of natural light that floods the room through windows to both sides and patio doors leading to the garden. Through here is the utility room with further storage and space for appliances including a washing machine/dryer behind sliding doors, with further access outside and into the double garage/workshop. The sitting room is spacious, yet cosy, with a living flame gas fire set within a stone surround providing the perfect focal point. On warmer days, step on to the timber decked balcony and take in the view of the attractive garden.

There are five double bedrooms in all. The principal suite and guest bedroom both featuring ensuite shower rooms and fitted wardrobes. Two further double bedrooms feature fitted wardrobes and bespoke cabinetry, while the third bedroom (currently used as an artist's studio), features a sizeable built in storage room (into the eaves) and vaulted ceiling. The family bathroom has been refitted to provide a striking suite comprising panelled bath, separate shower cubicle, WC and wash hand basin.

Outside - The gardens that wrap this home have been landscaped to create the perfect backdrop for you and your family to enjoy space outdoors. The front garden, with its well-stocked borders, enjoys a degree of privacy by virtue of the established hedgerow border, that nestles behind the retaining stone wall. Bursts of colour greet you as you approach the steps and path to the front door at the side, while the rear garden offers space for the whole family to enjoy, be it dining on the extensive patio terrace, soaking up the sun underneath the pergola at the top, or enjoying games on the lawn. The driveway leads up to the side and sweeps round to provide parking for several vehicles with access to the garaging, (within which, you will find twin up and over doors and a handy space to the side, perfect for use as a workshop or gym area).

Planning Permission - Planning permission was previously granted, (since lapsed) for conversion of the current garaging to habitable accommodation with a first floor extension, single storey extension. (KET/2015/0197) www.northnorthants.gov.uk.
