Property Highlights 
Boasting an excellent location near local parks and schools, this wonderful property is within short walking distance of Wellingborough town centre, the Castle Theatre and Wellingborough train station, with its popular commuter rail link to London.  The A45 and A509 are also within close driving distance providing great transport links to Rushden Lakes, the M1 and the A14. 

The beautifully presented accommodation has been thoughtfully extended and is meticulously finished to a high standard, reflecting a commitment to its original quality and design. There is a wealth of character and charm that flows throughout the property with its high ceilings, large bay windows, original floorings, deep moulded skirting boards, picture rails, ornate cornicing, original timber doors and much more. 

Entering through the stained-glass front door leads into the decoratively designed entrance hall, with an attractive period tiled floor, wide doors into the accommodation’s rooms, a door down to the cellar, and stairs rising to the first floor with painted steps, a central runner carpet and the original newel post, handrail and balustrade. 

The living room benefits from an impressive full-width bay window providing ample natural light and an open fireplace with a stunning solid marble surround and mantelpiece on a slate tiled hearth.  

The second reception room, superbly decorated in dark floral wallpaper, has exposed timber flooring, authentic French doors with original period fixtures and a cast iron open fireplace with a natural stone hearth and timber mantelpiece.  Although currently used as a sitting room, the space offers great versatility to be used as a formal dining room, a playroom or much more. 

The impressive kitchen/dining room, extended from its original design, offers a more modern open plan style of living with a traditional feel.  There are LED downlights in the kitchen area, a stunning engineered oak floor in a herringbone pattern, an abundance of light from the French doors and side light windows on the rear elevation, and a skylight roof window over the extended area.  In addition to this there is ample space for dining and living furniture, along with a period-style column radiator.

The stylish kitchen has been finished to a very high standard with an array of custom-made wooden units to include a variety of base level cupboards, high-level display cabinets and tall-pantry cupboards. There are two quartz work surfaces with upstands, metro-tiled splashbacks, an inset Belfast sink with traditional style brass taps, a freestanding electric oven with a five-ring gas hob and extractor hood, and integrated appliances to include a dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer. 

The ground floor WC is accessed via a step down from the kitchen, featuring a continuation of the engineered oak flooring and a two-piece suite to include a low-level WC and a wall-mounted wash hand basin with chrome taps. 

A solid timber door from the entrance hall leads down to the cellar via period red brick steps. The cellar, tanked by the previous owner, features two windows on the front elevation, is fully plastered and painted, and houses the electric and gas meters. It is a large and versatile space currently used for storage.  

From the entrance hall, stairs lead up to the first floor landing with decorative wallpaper and a grand, open feel from the high ceilings. On the landing there are two full-height bespoke storage cupboards, one of which provides extensive wardrobe space, and a hatch giving access to the loft. 

There are four bedrooms, three of which are double in size. The principal bedroom features a bay window on the front elevation and a period cast iron fireplace, whilst the attractive second bedroom includes a built-in wardrobe, a cast iron fireplace, and a newly fitted thick-pile carpet. Bedroom three, located at the rear of the property, offers charming views of the walled garden, making it an ideal space for a guest bedroom. Bedroom four, a single sized room, is located at the front of the property and is best suited for use as a nursery, home office, or dressing room.  

There is a family bathroom featuring patterned tiled flooring and sea grass tiled walls up to the ceiling, with a fully mirrored wall opposite the bath. Two windows provide ample natural light, and the three-piece suite includes a low-level WC, a pedestal wash hand basin, chrome heated radiator, and a panel enclosed bath with a thermostatic shower and folding glass screen.

Exterior 
The property occupies a prominent position on Castle Road with a great deal of kerb appeal. There is a low-level brick wall with iron railings to the front, and an iron gate provides access into the front garden with a path and steps leading to the front door, which is set back providing cover from the weather. The garden to the front is enhanced by an array of established plantings, adding character and greenery to the entrance. 

The secluded, south facing walled garden to the rear of the property is perfectly positioned to capture sunlight throughout the day. The rear doors of the property lead onto a paved patio, ideal for outdoor entertaining or relaxing.  Steps lead up to a lawn, while a charming raised red-brick border showcases an array of established plants and mature trees, adding colour and vibrancy to the space. Additional steps offer secure gated side access to the public pathway, providing both convenience and privacy.
