Description

Introducing Briary Cottage, a truly enchanting Grade 2 Listed Cottage nestled in the picturesque village of Paulerspury. This delightful property exudes historic charm with its 17th-century origins, offering an idyllic countryside retreat. Boasting 3 double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 3 inviting reception areas, this characterful home provides ample space for modern living while honouring its rich heritage.

Step foot into the beautiful kitchen/diner, where traditional meets contemporary. The well-appointed kitchen features sleek granite countertops, an Aga Range Cooker, a wine fridge, a dishwasher, two sinks, space for an American style fridge/freezer and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer as well. There's also an abundance of storage space, perfect for culinary enthusiasts. The dining area enjoys ample natural light, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for gatherings with family and friends. Adjacent to the kitchen, a spacious office/snug awaits with feature gas fire, providing a private and secluded area for work or relaxation. The cozy sitting room is a true gem, complete with a captivating original inglenook fireplace and bread oven, the perfect spot to cozy up on chilly evenings and unwind with a good book or movie. There is also a spacious cloakroom which houses the boiler which was installed in 2017.

Retreat to the upstairs, and you'll find three generously sized double bedrooms and two bathrooms. Each room is thoughtfully designed, offering comfort and tranquility. The craftsmanship and attention to detail throughout the property truly showcase its historical significance while offering a comfortable and functional living environment.

Situated on approximately half an acre, this property boasts stunning wrap-around gardens. Immerse yourself in the natural beauty and serenity as you explore the well-manicured lawns, vibrant flower beds, lovely orchard, lapa gazebo with hot tub and charming patio areas, ideal for al fresco dining or summer soirées. The expansive grounds create endless possibilities for outdoor recreation and leisure. This property also benefits from a gated driveway offering secure parking.

The property's real jewel lies in its potential to develop further. Planning permission is in place to convert the large detached barn, unlocking a world of possibilities for additional living space, a home office, a creative studio, an annexe, etc. Furthermore, there is permission to build a separate detached 3-bedroom house in the orchard, making this property a fantastic investment opportunity or a perfect multi-generational living option. There is also no overage/uplift clause on the land, which means you can enjoy the property's full potential without restrictions.

*The barn currently has planning in place to convert it to a one bedroom annexe with office space. The planning was originally granted to convert and extend the barn to create a 3 bedroom house so that could also be done. This could offer great rental potential as Silverstone is less than 5 miles away. The conversion of the barn and construction of the detached 3-bedroom house in the orchard were both part of a larger planning application which has been implemented, which means the planning is valid indefinitely. The planning also allows the creation of a new access to serve all three properties and provide off road parking. Planning reference: WNS/2021/2154/FUL

Conveniently located near the market town of Towcester, this idyllic retreat is within easy reach of essential amenities, excellent schools and transport links.
