Navisford House, Pilton Road, Wadenhoe, Northamptonshire, PE8 5SU.

A detached stone house set on an attractive plot within a favoured, conservation village.

Location: Wadenhoe, a conservation village, is an ancient se ttlement set above the banks of the River Nene amongst gently rolling countryside within the ‘Special Landscape Area’. Many of the buildings within the village are Listed as being of special architectural or historic interest. The church of St Michael and All Angels, situated to the west of the village is thought to be built upon the site of a Saxon settlement. There are footpaths and bridleways leading from the village to the neighbouring countryside. The beautiful town of Oundle lies about 4 miles to the north and provi des a range of traditional, family run shops, businesses and restaurants, set around the Georgian Market Place. There is an excellent choice of schooling, both private and state, within the area. Peterborough, Huntingdon and Kettering are within reasonable driving distance and each has a main line rail station.

The Property: Built of local stone with a pan tiled roof and ashlar chimneys, this attractive house was constructed in 1982 to mirror the style of the traditional cottages within the village. It was built to the specification of the owner at the time, offering large living rooms and two vast bedrooms, with bathroom, separate WC and a dressing room. With almost 2,300 sq ft of living space, it would be an easy conversion to a comfortable 4 bedroom house. There is also scope to convert the garage to further living accommodation, and, due to the plot size, re-site the garaging if desired. These alterations would be subject to

Local Authority consent.

The house has been designed to make the most of the environment in which it sits, with windows flooding the rooms with southerly light and also with views over the field to the rear.

An oil-fired Aga provides a warmth to the room and there is an additional electric oven and hob. A useful utility room is set to the side. A door leads through to the side hall, which has access from the drive and also a door into the garage.

The first floor has a large landing with study area over- looking the garden. The main bedroom is accessed via a walk -through dressing room with fitted wardrobes. This could be partitioned to create a corridor and further bedroom. The master bedroom enjoys a double aspect with pleasing views.
