Cross Lane, Aldwincle, Kettering, Northamptonshire, NN14

A substantial stone-built village home approaching 3,000 sqft of versatile accommodation arranged over three floors, with six double bedrooms and a particularly generous balance of living and entertaining space. The property has been significantly improved in recent years, including a high-quality refitted kitchen/breakfast/family room, matching utility room, replacement windows and doors, and a re-modelled four-piece family bathroom. Additional accommodation has been created above the detached garaging, which is currently used as an impressive home gym.

GROUND FLOOR
The accommodation is approached through an entrance porch which opens into a central hallway, providing access to the principal ground-floor rooms. To the front is a dedicated study, offering a useful home-working environment, together with a separate formal dining room. To the rear, the main sitting room is generously proportioned and benefits from a recently installed wood-burning stove, creating a comfortable principal reception space with views across the garden.

A particular feature of the house is the kitchen/breakfast/family room, which has been comprehensively re-modelled and refitted with high-quality cabinetry and contrasting granite work surfaces. A central island provides additional preparation space and informal seating, while the kitchen includes a broad range of integrated appliances including fridge and freezer, twin ovens, induction hob with integrated extraction, dishwasher, wine cooler and a traditional Belfast sink. The adjoining utility room has been finished in a matching style, providing further practical storage and workspace, while a guest cloakroom completes the ground-floor accommodation.

FIRST FLOOR
The first floor is arranged around four generous double bedrooms, all accessible from a spacious landing. The principal bedroom benefits from a dual aspect, walk-in wardrobe and private en-suite shower room, while a second bedroom also includes en-suite facilities, making it particularly suitable for guests or older children. The remaining bedrooms are served by a re-modelled family bathroom, fitted with a four-piece suite including a freestanding slipper bath and a large separate shower enclosure.

SECOND FLOOR
The second floor provides two further spacious double bedrooms, both with characterful sloping ceilings. Alongside the bedrooms is an unusually generous landing area with roof-profile windows, providing useful additional floor space and the potential to create a further study or quiet working area. There is also a separate tank room, with the current arrangement offering scope, subject to the necessary consents, for the introduction of additional bathroom facilities if required.


OUTSIDE
The property occupies a peaceful plot with gardens to both the front and rear. The rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn, with a patio adjoining the kitchen/breakfast room and established trees and shrubs providing a mature backdrop. To the front, a private garden is complemented by a gravelled driveway providing parking for two cars.

A detached stone-built double garage measures approximately 19’2” x 17’6” and is fitted with two sets of barn-style doors, power and lighting. An external staircase rises to a substantial first-floor room, currently used as a home gym, offering further flexibility for hobbies, working from home or ancillary use. A secure storage area positioned alongside the garage also houses the oil tank.
