8A Glassthorpe Lane Cover.indd 4-6 17/10/2017 15:28 8A Glassthorpe Lane Pages.indd 1 17/10/2017 15:28 This superb 1960’s detached property has been extensively remodelled and enlarged to create a wonderful family home located in the heart of this sought after village. The house is tucked away and out of sight and located at the far end of a long driveway with electric entrance gates opening to a private garden of approximately 0.6 acres with beautiful landscaped gardens to the front and a further private garden to the rear with a fantastic heated swimming pool which has a detached two storey pool house ideal for entertaining but also has potential to be a separate annexe, gym or office if required.

The main section of the house has an open plan split level family/ dining room with a separate bespoke fitted kitchen, a spacious sitting room, study, utility and guest cloakroom as well as three ground floor bedrooms and family bathroom. The house was extended in 2008 to create extra living space and now has two further linked bedrooms and an en suite shower room which would be ideal as an annexe if needed.

The semi rural village of Harpole is thriving and friendly, with a variety of excellent amenities. It has a well-stocked convenience store, three sociable pubs, and a village hall which hosts a wide choice of activities to suit all tastes. Football, tennis and cricket are popular in the village and the annual Scarecrow Festival is very well attended. There is a highly rated primary school, with a comprehensive selection of both state and independent schools nearby. The surrounding countryside is pretty and Althorpe House is a popular destination to visit. Road and rail links are outstanding and Northampton is just minutes away for a wider range of amenities.

“We were looking for a house with privacy, together with a sizeable parcel of land, but one within easy reach of amenities to suit our active lifestyle. We knew at once this was to be our family home. We have doubled the size of the house and created a family home to suit every conceivable occasion. Rooms for privacy and quiet, space to pursue hobbies and pastimes, which does include party and games rooms. An adaptable layout which has enabled us to enjoy easy visits of overnight guests, but, first and foremost, it has been a magnificent family home.”

“This is really the ultimate party house and there have been so many happy occasions over the years. The most recent was one for an elderly relative. A large number of guests mingled very happily, whilst those members of the party who wished for quietness, were able to retire to another of our reception rooms to enjoy a home movie.”*

The area surrounding the pool area is extremely sheltered with its wall, and somehow takes on a Mediterranean ambience.”

8A Glassthorpe Lane Pages.indd 14 17/10/2017 15:28 We are moving to another part of the world and it is time for us to say goodbye to our lovely home. It has been so special for our family living here and we will take away so many happy memories of the amazing lifestyle we have experienced.”
