Chapel Lane, Elton, Northamptonshire PE8

This delightful semi-detached, thatched cottage is positioned in the heart of Elton, a desirable village with a lovely community, a village shop and two popular public houses. Keeper's Cottage is not Listed, unusually, and benefits from double glazing throughout and central heating. The thatch was re-ridged and repaired at the end of 2024, underlining the continual maintenance and upgrading the current owners have undertaken during their many happy years at the cottage.

Externally there is a stunning, south-facing walled garden with a self-contained annexe providing a kitchen, living room/double bedroom and a shower room. The annexe has so much versatility to either be incorporated as part of every day living for the property or as an income generating venture with complete separateness from the cottage. The garden has a side gate with access from the front, opening onto a patio area with an outdoor utility cupboard that houses an undercover freezer, drinks fridge and storage. Additionally, there is a log store and external boiler cupboard. An enclosed lawn has established planted borders and a seating area against a stone retaining wall, facing towards the back of the cottage. In such a peaceful setting with plenty of birdsong, this garden is an absolute haven.

Entering the cottage from Chapel Lane, you are greeted by an impressive Inglenook fireplace with a wood burner as the focal point, as well as beamed ceilings, a deep sill bay window to the rear and shelved wall recess. Open plan to the dining area, with a characterful staircase that rises to the first floor. The dining area has ample space for a family sized dining table and chairs and even a piano. Being dual aspect, plenty of natural light is found in the reception rooms.

At the rear of the cottage is the bespoke fitted kitchen which is perfectly formed. Neutrally decorated with contemporary tiled splash areas and a stable door to the side, the kitchen incorporates a ceramic 1.5 bowl sink under the bay window that overlooks the garden. Plumbing for a washing machine is provided, as is an eye level oven, hob and extractor. The range of cupboards has quartz worktops over.

On the first floor there is a large double bedroom with room for a king size bed, wardrobe and associated bedroom furniture. A sink provides storage under. This lovely light room also benefits from a large walk-in cupboard/dressing room. Bedroom two has built-in wardrobes and cupboards.

The four piece bathroom has a window to the rear elevation, a large corner sink with storage under, a bath and separate shower cubicle, tiled splashbacks and flooring and a heated towel rail.
