Manor Court, Grendon, Northamptonshire, NN7

A UNIQUE DETACHED PROPERTY LYING ON THE EDGE OF THIS POPULAR VILLAGE WITH ELEVATED VIEWS OVER OPEN ROLLING COUNTRYSIDE

Formally part of Lord Northampton’s Castle Ashby estate, Castle View was part of a complex of traditional barns converted in the mid 1980s and is being offered for sale on the open market for the first time in 40 years.

The detached stone property enjoys a wonderful elevated position on the edge of the village with stunning, uninterrupted 180 degree views across to Castle Ashby House, over the Capability Brown parkland with lakes and across the Nene Valley.

The property has a unique design with the majority of accommodation all on one level and providing great entertaining space supported by a dedicated bedroom wing with guest bedroom suite on the first floor.

A viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate not only the flexibility of accommodation on offer but its idyllic setting with amazing views and the perfect environment to enjoy stunning sunsets.

A four panelled door with glazed side lights opens into oak floored reception hall which divides the bedroom wing from the principal reception rooms with fitted coat cupboard and separate cloakroom. Leading off the hall is an inner hall leading to the kitchen/breakfast room which enjoys views across to Castle Ashby House in the far distance and a glazed door opens onto south facing paved dining terrace with electric awning providing shade. The kitchen benefits from Shaker base and eye level units with Falcon range cooker with five ring gas hob. Other integrated appliances by Bosch include dishwasher and full height fridge/freezer.

Adjoining is the former dining room currently utilised as the family room with exposed stone feature wall and glazed doors open directly into the garden room benefitting from attractive views over the southwest facing garden with rolling countryside beyond.

At the far end of the house sits the double height vaulted sitting room with picture window overlooking the rear garden and a Clearview wood burner sits within the fireplace.

Turning left off the reception hall one finds the utility room with plumbing for washing machine and dryer along with pedestrian door accessing the integral double garage. An internal corridor provides access to the bedroom wing with the principal bedroom enjoying a double aspect with fitted cupboards and fully tiled en suite shower room. Two further double bedrooms, each with fitted wardrobes, are served by the family bathroom and there is direct access to the paved side garden. Running along the corridor are a number of cupboards housing gas fired central heating boiler, hot water cylinder and shelved storage space.

FIRST FLOOR
A circular stone stairwell housing a spiral staircase rises from the sitting room up to large galleried landing that doubles up as a study/games area and beyond lies a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes served by fully tiled en suite bathroom.

OUTSIDE
Approached over a part shared drive, Castle View lies at the top and a five bar timber field gate opens onto private gravelled off road parking area. The drive offers direct access to the integral deep double garage with further parking to the front.

The main grounds lie to the rear and are predominantly laid to lawn edged in part by well stocked herbaceous border with mature specimen shrubs gracing the boundaries. Lying close to the rear of the house are two paved dining and seating areas. The western boundary is defined by a stone wall and a grass path leads to three raised vegetable beds and separate composting area.

Lying on the eastern side is a further paved terrace on which sits the aluminium greenhouse and timber garden shed. This area also provides access to the rear of the garage.
