Salem, Off Harbidges Lane, Long Buckby, Northamptonshire, NN6

A WONDERFULLY POSITIONED DETACHED PERIOD PROPERTY OFFERING FURTHER POTENTIAL SET IN ESTABLISHED GARDENS AND GROUNDS APPROACHING HALF AN ACRE.

Field House is a wonderfully positioned Victorian period property dating to 1864. During their time at the property the current owners have extensively updated and modernised the original house which now offers well-presented living accommodation principally arranged over two floors. While a charming property in its current form it is felt that Field House offers further potential to extend or convert if so desired subject to gaining the necessary planning and building consents. Outline planning consent was in fact granted in November 2024 for the erection of a small bungalow within the house grounds ref: 2024//2712/0UT offering further scope and potential. An inspection is highly recommended in order to fully appreciate the location and situation of Field House which in our opinion presents a rare opportunity to purchase such a lovely lifestyle property located to the edge of this popular village.

On the ground floor an entrance hall with open areas and stairs rising to the first floor landing provides open access to a utility/laundry area and separate snug area. Attractive features include pine flooring and latched doors which extend throughout the property. From the utility/laundry area which includes fitted cupboards and useful storage space, access is provided to a ground floor shower room comprising, shower cubicle, wash hand basin and a W.C. Access to a cellar is from the snug area. The principal living accommodation comprises a sitting room with wall mounted remote contemporary electric fire and double doors provide access and a lovely aspect to the main gardens. There is also a separate dining room with feature cast iron fireplace and also enjoys an attractive aspect to the gardens and grounds. There is a kitchen which comprises a range of fitted modern units with soft close cupboards and drawers together with a ceramic 1½ bowl sink set to granite effect worktop surfaces. Integrated appliances include a built in Neff five plate gas hob and electric oven along with a Bosch fridge.

On the first floor a landing area provides access to three double bedrooms, two of which provide useful built in shelved storage and cupboard space. There is a house bath/shower room comprising shower cubicle, wash hand basin and W.C. Also from the landing area, steps provide access to two attic rooms currently used by the owners as a hobby room and office/studio both of which have light and power connected as well as eaves storage.

OUTSIDE

The gardens and grounds form an attractive setting to Field House and extend to all aspects of the property. The property itself is approached through a five bar wooden gate which in turn leads to a good sized gravelled area and driveway providing off road parking for a number of vehicles. Within this area there is access to a former open double garage/carport, though it is recognised that this building is now in need of significant structural works.

From the driveway area a pathway flanked by laid to lawn gardens and grounds leads to the main house. The established and mature gardens are well stocked with flowers and shrubs and offer a tranquil setting to Field House. There is a paved seating area to the immediate front of the house together with a sunken rear cobbled and landscaped courtyard garden area located to the rear ideal for outside entertainment and al fresco dining. This area incorporates a log store and doorway access to the lower ground floor/cellar. The cellar itself comprises two main compartments and houses the water tank and boiler. Light and power is also connected.
