A SUBSTANTIAL PERIOD CHARACTER PROPERTY HAVING RECENTLY BEEN IMPROVED AND LOCATED IN A CONSERVATION AREA WITH VIEWS TO ABINGTON PARK AND ENCHANTING WALLED GARDENS IN EXCESS OF 150 FT.
This handsome 1930s family home enjoys a wonderful position directly opposite Abington Park, with delightful walled gardens to the rear. The property retains much of its original period charm and character, whilst benefiting from an extensive programme of improvements in recent years, including a beautifully refitted kitchen and bathrooms. Offered with vacant possession, this is a rare opportunity to acquire an elegant period home in an enviable setting overlooking one of Northamptonshire’s most treasured parks.
An inviting entrance porch, with its attractive stained and leaded glass doorway, opens into a generous reception hall, where the staircase rises and turns to the first floor. A charming period fireplace, timber flooring, picture rails and exposed ceiling timbers add to the character, whilst stairs lead down to a useful cellar, offering excellent potential for a utility area. The principal reception room enjoys a lovely outlook across Abington Park through its impressive bay window, complemented by high corniced ceilings, picture rails and an original fireplace with open hearth.
To the rear, a spacious dining room provides a welcoming setting for entertaining or relaxed family living, with a central fireplace, glazed display cabinet and fitted cupboard. A further bay window overlooks the walled gardens, with a door providing direct access outside. High corniced ceilings and picture rails continue the period detailing found throughout the home. The kitchen has been thoughtfully refitted with an attractive range of cupboards, contrasting granite worktops and integrated appliances. A central island incorporates a breakfast bar and inset sink, whilst the semi-vaulted ceiling with twin Velux windows creates a wonderfully light and airy space. Double French doors open directly onto the rear patio, providing a lovely connection between the house and garden.
FIRST FLOOR
The staircase continues to the first floor, where three generously proportioned double bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, one of which benefits from its own en-suite shower room. A beautifully refitted family bathroom completes the accommodation on this level.
The second floor offers two further good-sized bedrooms, on eof which extends the whole length of house, both enjoying delightful views across the gardens and Abington Park. Completing the accommodation is a stylishly refitted shower room, featuring twin Velux windows which flood the room with natural light, together with an attractive vanity unit.
OUTSIDE
The property is set back from the road behind timber fencing with gravel off road parking for several vehicles. There is timber gated access at the side leading to the enchanting walled gardens being in excess of 150ft, laid predominantly to lawn with good sized patio areas, garden outbuilding, trees and shrubs. Opposite the property is the well regarded Abington Parking offering a range of facilities and perfect for dog walkers.
