AN ATTRACTIVE FAMILY HOME WITH EXCEPTIONAL VIEWS ON THE EDGE OF THIS SOUGHT-AFTER VILLAGE

North Lodge is a handsome and sympathetically updated lodge dating back to 1850. It enjoys a sought-after position on the edge of this popular village, with impressive amenities, a mature garden and exceptional views across open countryside.

The entrance porch opens into a boot room and generous reception hall with solid oak flooring. To one side is a separate utility and cloakroom, with a versatile study or fifth bedroom opposite. The spacious sitting room has a wood-burning stove set on a granite hearth, and French doors opening onto the terrace and garden beyond. The open-plan kitchen and dining room, also with solid oak flooring, features bespoke cabinets, induction hob and a large american-style refrigerator. Bi-fold doors open onto the rear terrace, giving convenient garden access and uninterrupted rural views.

Upstairs, the impressive principal bedroom enjoys outstanding countryside views and has an en suite with a walk-in shower and freestanding bath. There are three further large bedrooms with rural vistas, one of which enjoys its own en suite, together with a family bathroom.

The property is approached via a gravelled driveway, providing generous parking for several vehicles. The detached double garage provides useful ancillary storage and could be converted subject to the necessary planning permissions. The gardens wrap around the house and amount to approximately 0.27 of an acre in total. The rear garden is a particular highlight, laid predominantly to lawn with well-stocked borders and apple, pear and quince trees. The garden looks over open parkland to the rear, affording far reaching views across the countryside beyond.

The property is within walking distance of the excellent village primary and secondary schools, a highly rated GP surgery and pharmacy, and well-stocked village shop and post office. Northampton station offers direct trains to London Euston in around one hour, with further connections from Long Buckby and Kettering.
