Warkton, Northamptonshire, NN16

Backing onto rolling countryside, this deceptively spacious 17th Century cottage has been beautifully maintained and is surprisingly well-suited to modern living. Measuring a total of approximately 1,400sqft, the property is filled with period features, including exposed timbers and stonework, quarry tile flooring, wood burning stoves and much more.

INSIDE
When stepping inside through a charming stable door, you’re greeted by a vaulted kitchen which is flooded with natural light. There is a range of cabinetry and fitted appliances, including a fridge, freezer, dishwasher and Rangemaster cooker. All utilities are housed in an outdoor scullery – excellent for hiding any unwanted mess out of sight. The inner hall is another bright space, which leads to a cloakroom and two reception rooms, the first of which being a dining room that is filled with character – exposed timbers, quarry tiled flooring, inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove and exposed brickwork. Through the dining room is the sitting room, which is one of the most inviting and warm spaces in the house, with similar period-correct features and a dual aspect.

Situated on the first floor are two bedrooms and a bathroom. The principal bedroom is a generous sized space, with fitted wardrobes, exposed timbers and a window seat offering views over the gardens and neighboring countryside. The other bedroom on this floor is the fourth largest, which is currently set up as an office. The bathroom is a lovely size, with an oversized shower enclosure and separate bath, and additional period features such as a window seat, and exposed brickwork and timbers. There are a further two bedrooms on the second floor, both of which having spectacular views over the surrounding countryside.

OUTSIDE
Tucked away behind a five-bar gate, the plot offers excellent privacy and is beautifully maintained. The gardens have been thoughtfully designed. The lawn has wonderful uninterrupted views through a post and rail fence, inviting a mass of wildlife. There are two sitting areas – one being a paved patio positioned next to the kitchen, and the other a cosy area set within the colourful kitchen gardens. Conveniently positioned near to the property are a collection of outbuildings consisting of two stores, a scullery, and a spacious, standalone timber home office. The driveway provides comfortable, secure parking for multiple vehicles.
