Description

A home with a story.....and one you’ll want to become part of.


Tucked away on Little Street sits Greystones, a stunning characterful three-bedroom stone cottage believed to date back to the 17th century.

Behind its beautiful stone exterior is a home that combines centuries of character with the practicalities of modern-day living. Exposed stonework, timber beams, oak and latch doors and an impressive inglenook fireplace give the house its unmistakable personality, while a contemporary kitchen, generous bedrooms, gated parking and a substantial private garden make this far more than simply a pretty period home.

And importantly for buyers who love historic properties but may worry about the restrictions that can come with them, Greystones is not listed.

Step through the front door and the character begins immediately.

The generous entrance hall sets the tone, with exposed stone, traditional tiled flooring and a beautiful timber staircase creating an immediate sense of the property's heritage.

From here, the main living room is exactly what you hope to find in a cottage of this age. Measuring approximately 16'9" x 13'11", it is centred around an impressive exposed-stone inglenook fireplace, designed for a real wood or coal fire. Exposed beams and stonework add warmth and texture, creating a room that feels equally suited to quiet winter evenings and relaxed family living.

The heart of the home


The kitchen/diner brings the house firmly into the present day.

Refitted in a contemporary style while retaining exposed stone and timber details, it provides plenty of room for cooking, dining and entertaining. Integrated appliances, a Belling Range Master and even a dedicated corner coffee station make this a highly practical space, while a door leads directly out to the patio and garden beyond.

Also on the ground floor is a refitted shower and laundry room, together with a separate WC — a particularly useful arrangement for family life.

Upstairs


The sense of space continues on the first floor, where you'll find three well-proportioned bedrooms, each with its own character.

The principal bedroom is a real highlight. At approximately 17'2" x 12'4", it is an impressive room featuring a fabulous fitted library complete with ladder. Alongside it is a separate dressing room, where the existing boarded window has been highlighted as offering potential for conversion to an en-suite, subject of course to any necessary consents and professional advice.

Bedroom two is another generous double, with decorative wall panelling adding character, while bedroom three offers further versatility and incorporates access to additional loft storage. There is also a substantial storage cupboard from the landing with hanging rails and shelving.

And then there’s the garden…


For a home with this much history and character, the outside space may come as something of a surprise.

The private garden is arranged across different levels, creating distinct areas to enjoy throughout the year. Immediately outside the kitchen is a patio area ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, while the upper level opens onto lawn surrounded by established trees and shrubs, giving the garden a wonderfully mature and secluded feel.

To the front, a gated off-road parking area currently accommodates three vehicles, with the existing listing stating that there is potential to create additional parking if required.

A little piece of Rushden history


Greystones isn't simply designed to look historic — the existing research attached to the property gives it a fascinating story.

Historical information referenced in the current listing records a date stone of 1696, bearing the initials C L, associated with Charles Livesay, Rector of St Mary's from 1694–1702. The property was later remodelled and extended in 1897, and subsequently became known as The Old Rectory before being recorded as Greystones.

It is the kind of home that simply can't be replicated by a modern development.

Period character. Modern practicality. Generous gardens. Three excellent bedrooms. Gated parking. And more than three centuries of history.

Greystones is a home that deserves to be experienced in person.
