Carr House 53 High St | Harpole | Northampton | Northamptonshire | NN7 4BS CARR HOUSE Carr House 53 High St | Harpole | Northampton | Northamptonshire | NN7 4BS CARR HOUSE “Having looked at more than 60 properties, it was the amazing potential of Carr House which caught our attention 20 years ago,” say the current owners of this well presented detached property. “We could see that it had so many possibilities to become our ideal home.” Carr House is a very pretty Grade II Listed detached ironstone and thatched house in grounds of approximately three quarters of an acre with a range of stone outbuildings. This former farmhouse dated 1711 but part are believed to be much older retains superb original and period features and is a wonderful family home with much charm. The house is set well back from the road with a large front garden with many mature specimen plants, a gravelled driveway leads to the rear with ample off street parking. On the ground floor is a welcoming hallway full of period features which leads to an inner hall with superb original staircase. There are four reception rooms with period features and two with fireplaces, the sitting room and study have mullioned windows overlooking the front garden whilst the larger reception/family room is to the rear, the dining room is adjacent to the kitchen/ breakfast room. Seller Insight Having looked at more than 60 properties, it was the amazing potential of Carr House which caught our attention 20 years ago,” say the current owners of this well presented detached property. “We could see that it had so many possibilities to become our ideal home.” “Since then, we have refurbished every room in the house,” the owners continue, “also incorporating one of the outbuildings into the main house and creating a new kitchen complete with AGA, now a sociable space for cooking and entertaining. We converted the attic into extra living space, and converted what was an old pigsty in the garden into a splendid summerhouse. There is further potential to turn another of the outbuildings into a garage workshop to house cars, the property being so convenient for Silverstone racetrack for those with an interest in motoring.” The garden itself also has much to offer, stretching over ¾ acre. “The garden has three main areas to the front, rear and side of the house,” say the owners, “being mostly laid to lawn and planted with trees. We have a wonderful rosery with beautiful blooms, and a magnolia in the front garden which is just coming into blossom at this Spring time of the year.” The location of the property provides the best of village life, being situated in a charming area of stone houses, of which this is one. “The village itself has various amenities and leisure opportunities,” say the owners, “with Northampton close by for its Rugby and Football clubs, as well as Silverstone racetrack for the motorcar enthusiast. Northampton itself lies just a few miles to the East for further amenities and entertainments.” “Our favourite rooms, respectively, are our own individual studies, both being very peaceful places to work or to relax with a good book.” “This house really lends itself to entertaining, with a large lounge perfect for parties. Every year we have friends here from France to celebrate New Year’s Eve with us at Carr House, the house being big enough to house all ten adults and 7 children overnight!” “There is always plenty going on in the village, with regular events in the village hall, an annual open gardens and fete, not to mention the scarecrow weekend hosted each September in aid of local charities.” “We have had many happy times here with family and friends, and we shall miss our neighbours very much, many of them having become dear friends over the decades we have spent here.”* * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property. They have not been independently verified, should not be relied on without verification and do not necessarily reflect the views of the agent.

Our favourite rooms, respectively, are our own individual studies, both being very peaceful places to work or to relax with a good book.” To the rear of the house is a superb range of stone barns and outbuildings including a dovecote which subject to planning would easily convert if an annexe or home office were needed, the gardens extend to almost three quarters of an acre with lawn, summerhouse, rose garden and mature trees.

  • EAST MIDLANDS REGION - Wednesday 8 June 2016
    MINUTES OF THE DECISIONS OF THE COMMISSION ON THE INITIAL PROPOSALS FOR THE EAST MIDLANDS REGION - Wednesday 8 June 2016 Session 1: Wednesday 8 June 2016 Present: David Elvin QC, Commissioner Neil Pringle, Commissioner Sam Hartley, Secretary to the Commission Tony Bellringer, Deputy Secretary to the Commission Tim Bowden, Head of Reviews Glenn Reed, Review Manager Sam Amponsah, Review Officer Mr Reed and Mr Amponsah presented the Secretariat's schemes to Commissioners. Lincolnshire The Commissioners considered that, due to its almost whole allocation of constituencies with a Theoretical Entitlement (TE) to 6.97 constituencies, Lincolnshire could be treated on its own and should continue to be allocated seven constituencies. Commissioners considered that the two constituencies of Gainsborough, and South Holland and the Deepings could remain wholly unchanged, while Grantham and Stamford CC, and Louth and Horncastle CC would be changed following changes to local government ward boundaries. The electorate of the existing Sleaford and North Hykeham CC constituency was too large at 86,652, while that of its neighbouring constituencies of Lincoln BC (at 67,115) and Boston and Skegness CC (66,250) were too small. Commissioners therefore agreed that the five wards comprising the town of North Hykeham, and the Waddington West ward be included in the new Lincoln constituency, which in turn loses the Bracebridge Heath and Waddington East ward to the Sleaford constituency. It would not be possible to retain this ward in the Lincoln constituency without dividing the town of North Hykeham. In order to further reduce the electorate of the existing Sleaford and North Hykeham constituency, and to increase that of Boston and Skegness, Commissioners also agreed the transfer of the additional two wards of Kirkby la Thorpe and South Kyme, and Heckington Rural from the existing Sleaford constituency.

  • Neighbourhood Plan, Following Earlier Input from Local People, Businesses and Other Organisations Which Have Shaped It
    Made Version December 2015 Foreword This is the final Made Version of the Duston Neighbourhood Plan, following earlier input from local people, businesses and other organisations which have shaped it. This version contains a summary of the evidence base, the Vision & Objectives, Planning Policies and other Community Proposals and details on implementation. Several background and evidence documents are also available: - The Consultation Statement: This describes how local people, businesses and other bodies have been consulted on the Plan and comments, which have been made. - The Basic Conditions Statement: This explains how the Plan meets legal requirements and it also includes the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) screening. In addition, the Issues & Options Report & Parish Profile, the Policy Context, Townscape Study, reports on open space and employment are available on request as separate documents. For those who want to know a little more about the Made Plan and how it fits into the planning system, the following summary may be helpful. Neighbourhood Plans are part of the new planning system, which was introduced by the Government under the Localism initiative. This was to give people a greater say about the location and scale of development in the area and to help to protect valued landscape and community assets. They can establish general planning policies for the development and use of land. The Neighbourhood Plan forms part of the Local Development Plan for the local authority and will be used to consider planning applications. The Made Plan can influence the choice of sites and the design and layout of new housing; Neighbourhood Plans cannot propose less development than in the approved Local Plan and must reflect national planning guidance.

It allows us to understand the key features and characteristics that combine to give a particular area its local distinctiveness and unique identity. 1.2 Poor design outcomes result from a lack of understanding or disregard for what makes a place special. Good design stems from a proper understanding of what makes a particular rea special and distinctive. Character Assessments provide an overview of the character elements which combine to make an area special and distinctive. They can, therefore be used as a basis from which to produce Neighbourhood Plan policies which will help to inform the design of emerging development and increase design standards.

  • Harlestone Heath
    Area 1: Harlestone Heath. 1.0 Overview of Locality Harlestone Heath is probably the site of the earliest agricultural development in the parish, dating back to stone and bronze-age settlements. Its significance today is that it forms a green space between the settlements of Lower and Upper Harlestone and the New Duston area of the Borough of Northampton. The western boundary is that with the parish of Harpole and in the east with Church Brampton. - Add map annotated with location of buildings and landscape features. It remains the least developed area in terms of housing, but is important in terms of both the local environment and the economic activity of the community. Most of the land is owned by the Althorp Estate and leased out for commercial activities. The land between New Duston and Upper Harlestone contains a farm and a working quarry, whilst that between Lower Harlestone and the Lodge Farm Industrial Estate is composed of forestry, providing timber and public leisure access through a network of foot-paths and bridleways, some of which have only permissive access rights. This area also contains a commercial garden centre; part of a national chain. Although the area is largely given over to commercial enterprise it remains an important archaeological and historical site. 1.1 Development Domestic building development has taken place in Whites Lane, where redundant barns were converted into domestic dwellings around thirty years ago. There are two semi- detached lodge cottages at the entry to Harlestone Firs constructed in red brick as are the farmhouse and outbuildings on Fleetlands Farm, all dating back to the 19th Century.
