Laxton Drive, Oundle, Peterborough

A superb, energy-efficient, family home with beautifully updated, high specification accommodation, with five bedrooms, gardens and a double garage, set on a small development on the edge of Oundle. No chain.

This handsome house has been beautifully updated and extended to create a high-specification family home set upon an attractive plot.

The current owner has thoughtfully designed the accommodation to suit a modern lifestyle, with large, light day spaces, capturing the southerly sunshine, and bringing the garden into the home. There are still traditional features, with a modern twist, such as a wood burning stove and an Aga, ensuring the home has a cosy heart to it. Energy efficiency was also on the owner’s mind, so solar panels reduce the carbon footprint, as does the EV charging point.
The front door opens to the hall which provides access to the principal rooms. The guest cloakroom is to one end. The study offers great home working space and enjoys a dual aspect. The lounge also has a dual aspect with a view to the front and south-facing French doors opening to the garden. The fireplace makes an attractive focal point.

The striking, live-in kitchen, makes a fabulous hub of the home with a stylish, open plan dining and family room area, with wood-burning stove and bi-fold doors opening to the patio, almost extending the accommodation on a fine day. The kitchen area has a range of wall and base units with granite worksurfaces. The inset sink is within the island, which is also a breakfast bar, for casual mealtimes. The electric Aga is a handsome centre piece. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher and a fridge and freezer. The panty adjacent offers great storage and combined with the utility room offers plenty of space for the family clobber as well as the usual appliances.

The first-floor landing is approached via stairs from the hall. There are doors off to each of the five generous bedrooms. The principal bedroom suite has built-in wardrobes and a well-specified ensuite shower room / WC. The guest bedroom enjoys a view to the rear and also has an ensuite shower room / WC, The third bedroom is a comfortable double room with a view to the rear and built-in wardrobes.
