Scarborough Street, Irthlingborough

Family Friendly Semi That’s Just An “Ollie” Away From The Recreation Ground, Skatepark And Schools. But with the big 20m long back garden you don’t need to go far to enjoy plenty of outside space. It’s also super-handy for the High Street shops.

This traditional bay-fronted semi could be perfect if you’re a family with a couple of kids and you need more than two doubles and a pokey single bedroom or box room.

And the location, with the local nursery, infant and junior schools just at the end of the street will make early morning school run stress a thing of the past.

It has a traditional two reception room layout with a bay-fronted lounge at the front and a separate dining room next door.

You could keep them as-is or open them up to create a larger, more sociable space. Then again, if you’ve got older kids or teens it may be handy to have two separate rooms so everyone can have their own space to relax.

There’s a galley kitchen with access out to the sun-trap southwest facing back garden. It’s really long - measuring over 25m from the door in the kitchen to the back fence.

It has a paved seating area closest to the house and another at the far end of the garden, with a lawn in-between.

The family bathroom, which has a shower over the bath, is at the rear.

One advantage of having the bathroom downstairs is that it means there’s more space upstairs for the bedrooms. That’s why there are three double bedrooms upstairs, rather than the two doubles and a single you may traditionally expect.

It’s in a great location with everything in the town within walking distance. The recreation ground is just at the end of the street - ideal if you need to walk the dog or have any keen skateboarders in the family.

The local schools are just a stone’s throw away. Being next to each other, both the Infants/Nursery and the Junior School are only a couple of minutes walk away (and both are rated “Good” by Ofsted).

For older kids, Huxlow Academy is a little further away but it’s still only a 10 minute walk or a 3 minute bike ride away.

The High Street is less than a 5 minute walk away. It has everything you’ll need day-to-day, with a range of local pubs, shops & takeaways, a Co-op, post office and even an Aldi.

If you prefer big name retailers, restaurant chains and multiplex cinemas, Rushden Lakes is only 10 minutes drive away.

The Stanwick Lakes nature reserve is even closer, it’s just 10 minutes bike ride or 5 minutes away by car. If you crave somewhere bigger than the recreation ground it has something for every fitness level.

There are over 7 miles of footpaths, it hosts regular fun runs throughout the year and a choice of more sedate activities such as birdwatching or fishing at the nearby Stanwick Fisheries.

If you want to hit the shops or catch up with friends, Wellingborough is the nearest large town, it’s around 10 minutes drive away.

This versatile property will make a perfect first time buy with enough space for a family.

It’s in a great location, close to the schools and the shops and with plenty of green space just at the end of the street.

As you’d expect, we’re anticipating plenty of interest so call to arrange a viewing.
