Occupying arguably one of the most peaceful riverside positions in the region, this unique residence offers highly versatile accommodation with 5 bedrooms in the principal building, along with multiple outbuildings, meticulously landscaped and maintained gardens and direct river frontage with mooring rights.
PRINCIPAL HOUSE - GROUND FLOOR
Upon entering via a solid oak door, the hallway leads you to a bright and welcoming living area, with your eyes being drawn to spectacular views over the River Nene and surrounding countryside. With a dual aspect, the kitchen has a range of Shaker style cabinetry topped with granite work surfaces, along with integrated appliances including a dishwasher, electric ovens, induction hobs, fridge/freezer, and an Aga. Beside the kitchen and connected by a lobby is a spacious utility/boot room as well as a versatile room which is currently being used as an office.
A sizeable dining room with a decorative wood burning stove is beside the kitchen and creates a wonderful entertaining space, with both the living room and orangery also being accessible from this room. The living room which has a built-in cassette fire is another notably spacious area which enjoys a dual aspect with French doors to one of the rear garden terraces. Completing the ground floor is a particularly impressive orangery which has been built to an excellent standard. Doors to al external aspects lead to different areas of the garden, and the views over the grounds towards the River Nene and neighbouring water meadows are spectacular.
PRINCIPAL HOUSE – FIRST FLOOR
The first floor offers plenty of versatility, with three conventional bedrooms and two bathrooms. The principal bedroom is a generous double which benefits from a particularly large dressing room and a fully tiled four-piece ensuite, complete with an oversized shower enclosure and bath. The second largest bedroom on this floor is a further double and the final bedroom being a comfortable single. The family bathroom is fitted with high quality sanitary ware, with an oversized shower enclosure, vanity storage and special countryside views to the rear.
Accessed via a separate staircase connected to the living room is another room which is currently set up as a peaceful snug, however, offers clear opportunity for additional sleeping accommodation if so desired.
PRINCIPAL HOUSE – SECOND FLOOR
Accessible from the first floor landing, a staircase leads to the second floor which has a further two double bedrooms, completing the sleeping accommodation.
GARDENS
A truly special feature of this home is the south facing plot. Having undergone extensive landscaping and adaptations by the current owners, the gardens are meticulously maintained and cleverly designed. Beside the rear of the house are two main terraces which create excellent outdoor living spaces. An impressive feature is the stone-built Koi pond, which can be enjoyed from both the sitting area of the terrace and a viewing window set into the stone elevation.
Well stocked flower beds offer a high level of serenity, which form a connection between the rear of the property and the well-appointed lawns, which offer excellent privacy and are broken up by a selection of fruit trees.
Toward the furthermost point of the grounds, a covered walkway leads between two outbuildings and opens out onto a private lawn that fronts the river. This is quite simply one of the most special positions in the region. The direct river frontage brings with it private moorings rights.
OUTBUIDING 1
Creating an enormous level of privacy is a beautifully designed and attractive two-storey building which is positioned at the front of the plot and creates a covered area to the driveway. The ground floor is currently set up as a workshop, with the first floor, having its own external access, being an exceptional hobby space which measures roughly 7m in length.
OUTBUILDING 2
Discreetly situated beside one of the main terraces is a stone-built shed, complete with power and a pan tiled roof.
OUTBUILDINGS 3 & 4
Toward the end of the plot and neighbouring the river two additional stone-built outbuildings. One of which has been formally used as an artist’s studio, offering a peaceful space with beautiful views of the river and meadows beyond. Both buildings offer a generous amount of space and security. Attached to the eastern outbuilding is a sauna which has its own external access.
LOCATION
The village is known to be one of the most sought-after in the area, having a strong sense of community and sitting amongst glorious Northamptonshire countryside. Wadenhoe dates back over 800 years, with the majority of the village being made up of 17th, 18th and 19th Century limestone buildings. Being equidistant of the historic market towns of Oundle and Thrapston, makes this a peaceful village with easy connections to everyday amenities.
