A WELL PRESENTED DETACHED FOUR BEDROOMED PROPERTY LYING WITHIN THE FORMER KITCHEN GARDEN OF CRANSLEY HALL AND OCCUPYING A DELIGHTFUL PLOT

Cranes Nest is one of three properties built in the former kitchen garden of Cransley Hall in the early 1990’s and enjoys a peaceful location on the edge of this popular North Northamptonshire village surrounded by its own grounds.

Constructed of local ironstone under a tiled roof the original design was to replicate a traditional barn conversion. The sale offers potential purchasers the opportunity to acquire a well appointed property with accommodation over one level apart from a few steps to access bedrooms two, three and four. The garden and grounds very much complement the property with numerous seating and dining areas strategically placed with the church of St. Andrew in Cransley being the backdrop.

The property is being offered for sale with no upper chain and a viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the lifestyle opportunities on offer.

The front door opens into reception hall which merges with the inner hall providing access to the bedroom wing.

The sitting room with decorative fireplace enjoys a triple aspect with glazed French doors opening onto paved terrace and overlooking the front west facing garden. Part glazed double doors open into the herringbone wooden floored study.

Beyond lies the recently refurbished kitchen which opens onto the dining/family room which also benefits from a triple aspect with French doors opening onto rear pavioured terrace with steps leading up to the rear lawn. The bespoke Shaker kitchen provides extensive storage within the base and eye level units with beige granite work surfaces and inset one and half bowl stainless steel sink. The Belling range cooker has pride of place with five ring induction hob and integral appliances include Electrolux dishwasher, Zanussi fridge/freezer and microwave.

An archway separates the utility area with matching units and plumbing for washing machine and dryer and directly opposite lies the boot room with fitted cupboards and stable door to side garden.

The part tiled cloakroom lies off the inner hall which also serves the bedrooms. Three double bedrooms all enjoy views across the front garden with principal bedroom benefitting from built in fitted furniture, recessed hanging and storage cupboard along with en suite shower room. Bedrooms two and three also have recessed hanging space and along with bedroom four are served by a fully tiled family bathroom with separate tiled shower cubicle. The airing cupboard houses the Tribune HC pressurised hot water cylinder. There are two lofts within the property are both fully insulated and one is boarded for storage purposes.

OUTSIDE

The private part block paved drive offers generous off road parking for five to six vehicles along with access to the detached stone garage with electric roller shutter door with side pedestrian access. In the corner of the garage sits the Grant oil-fired central heating boiler and there is storage space in the eaves.

A pavioured path leads to the front door and runs along side the two front lawns with pavioured seating terrace strategically placed to benefit from afternoon and evening sun. Parkland railings and mature leylandii and beech hedging define the external boundaries. Pathways continue around the gable ends allowing access to the rear garden which overlooks the Parish Church.

Paved areas offer seating and dining areas with lawn edged by mature hedgerows with greenhouse and raised beds in the far corner. The oil tank is partly screened on the northern side of the garage and to the south of the property is a further paved dining area overlooking a further lawn with two fruit trees.
