Four Bedroom Link Detached Property For Sale In Long Buckby
DESCRIPTION
If you are searching for an imposing family home, offering extensive and versatile living space and exuding period character throughout, then The Old Manse may be the one for you.
Located in the heart of the exceptionally popular village of Long Buckby, this Grade II listed property sits on a sizeable plot with an enormous back garden and offers spacious and versatile accommodation throughout.
The Old Manse is a property that you could choose to move in to and do nothing at all - but if your ambition is to create a home in your own making, then there is huge scope to do exactly that.
Built over three floors, there is a certain symmetry about the rooms on each level and as one would expect with a property dating back to 1819 (according to the Listing details) there are character features to be found throughout.
Properties as unique as this one are very rarely available so we anticipate that it will be in great demand.
To fully appreciate all that that The Old Manse and Long Buckby have to offer, please call the friendly team at Campbells to book your personal viewing slot.
ACCOMODATION
You approach The Old Manse via a quaint garden pathway that will lead you to the front door which opens into a welcoming hallway.
On either side of the hallway are two of the principal living rooms.
To your left, a door opens into a fabulous size sitting room with wooden flooring and an open fireplace providing a focal point. It is easy to envisage just how cosy this room will be with the fire lit during the cold winter months.
To the right of the hallway is the hub of the house, in the shape of the large family kitchen. Very much in keeping with a property of this ilk, the current owner had a gas-fired Aga installed shortly after his family moved in circa 12 years ago. As lovers of Agas will know, not only are they great for cooking on but they also give off a tremendous amount of warmth.
The kitchen has a ‘country cottage’ feel about it and has a wide array of units and cupboards to provide plenty of storage space. There is also an island in the middle of the room, perfect for informal dining and food preparation.
Leading through from the kitchen will take you into the dining room. This is another well proportioned room, with plenty of space for a good size dining room table.
In years gone by, the dining room was in fact the kitchen. As such there are two storage rooms on one side of the room. One of these is utilised as a larder, whilst the other one is used as a utility room, with power and plumbing for both a washing machine and tumble dryer.
There is additional, very useful storage space, in the loft space above the dining room.
Continuing through from the dining room will take you to the rear hallway with space for hanging coats and storing shoes. There is a back door leading out to the garden, so this is a very handy space for kicking off muddy boots after a spot of gardening or a country walk.
Completing the downstairs accommodation is a downstairs bathroom comprising a bath, a low level WC and wash hand basin.
Moving back through to the entrance hall will provide you with option of going up or down!
A door at the rear of the hallway opens through to steps that will take you down to a relatively spacious cellar. Whilst this room has quite a low ceiling (you will not be able to stand upright) it does provide some very useful storage space.
Taking the main stairs upwards will take you to the first and second floors, where you will discover four double bedrooms and two shower rooms.
As you will see on the floor plan and indeed when you view the property, the two floors are almost mirror images of each other.
If you have young children, there will be no fighting over who has the biggest room, as quite frankly, they are all so similar in size and all are generous sized doubles.
As is the case for all of the main rooms at The Old Manse, the bedrooms benefit from large windows and so each of them enjoys an abundance of natural daylight.
Between the bedrooms on both floors are shower rooms, one with a walk-in shower and the other offering a standalone shower enclosure.
OUTSIDE
Whilst there is so much to love about the inside of The Old Manse, the outside has much to offer too.
In its current guise, The Old Manse has one allocated car parking space (though there is ample on-road parking on Brington Road, adjacent to the property) but should you wish to create more private parking, this could be achieved (with the appropriate permissions) by widening the access into the front garden.
An electric charging point has been installed by the current owner which he is happy to leave for your convenience.
The attractive front garden is enclosed by a stone wall and is predominantly laid to lawn, interspersed with mature shrubs and plants.
For many properties the front garden would be considered more than enough, however, The Old Manse has so much more to offer.
Following the garden path to your right will lead you through to an enormous rear garden, that literally just goes on and on!
Having passed by a secluded seating area the garden extends into a vast expanse of lawn, which children in particular are going to absolutely love.
At the far end of the garden is an area of hard standing, perfect for garden play equipment or ideal if you fancy having a garden room or home office away from the house (subject to any permissions required.)
VILLAGE LIFE
A recent article in the Daventry Express claimed that Long Buckby had been Voted as the No.1 place to live in Northamptonshire and it’s easy to understand why.
The article included the following:
‘’Great bang for your ‘’buck’’ in a well connected and bustling village. Long Buckby is teasingly close to the A5 and M1 Motorway but keeps that close-knit rural community feel with loads going on including a thriving foodie scene. The Grand Union Canal laps around the edge of the village lending what might otherwise be a rather sedate spot quite an upbeat vibe with the passing footfall it brings.’’
Long Buckby is a thriving village with a strong sense of community. The village is home to a variety of local businesses, including shops, pubs, and restaurants. The annual Feast, a traditional village festival dating back to the 13th century, is a highlight for locals and visitors alike.
One of the main draws of Long Buckby is its beautiful countryside. The village is surrounded by rolling hills, lush green fields, and winding country lanes, making it the perfect destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. The aforementioned Grand Union Canal, which runs through the village, is a popular spot for boating, fishing, and walking.
For those that need to travel further afield, in addition to its close proximity to the M1 and A5, the village has its own railway station with a direct line into both London Euston and Birmingham.
