Finedon Road, Wellingborough, NN8 4AH

“Spacious Family Home”

Discover this delightful bay fronted 1930’s semi on a mature tree-lined road.  On the eastern edge of Wellingborough this substantial family house is in good decorative order through-out and represents a unique ‘blank canvas’ opportunity for families seeking to create their ideal living space.  Within this well-connected community, the house is perfectly positioned within walking distance of the main-line railway station and local facilities. You will enjoy the substantial garden and feeling of solidity.  

Property Highlights 
This charming residence enjoys a prime location, just a stone's throw from a local convenience store and a gym/swimming pool, while the town centre and train station are easily accessible on foot in approximately 20 minutes.  Wellingborough Train Station offers a popular commuter rail link to London, making this an excellent choice for city professionals.  

Enter through the classic period timber door into the welcoming Entrance Hall.  Featuring understated hardwood flooring there is a useful storage area under the stairs for the 'Vaillant' gas-fired boiler, and stairs ascend to the first floor. 

The large Reception Room is in two parts.  A cosy front section bathed in natural light from its bay window and a generously sized Rear or Dining section.  A kitchen style room divider separating the two imparts provides an open plan feel. Understated hardwood flooring flows throughout and clean new decor is ready for you to add your own personal style. There is currently a fixed glazed panel covering double doors to the rear.  

The Kitchen features ceramic tiled walls and a fitted kitchen comprising base level units, roll-top worktops, and a stainless steel sink. It comes equipped with an integrated electric oven and a four-ring gas hob.  There is ample space and plumbing available for additional appliances, and a uPVC external door provides access to the generous side area and large rear garden. 

Stairs flow up to the efficient First Floor Landing, which benefits from natural light from a window to the side elevation and working loft hatch to the boarded loft space. 

Upstairs, you'll find three well-proportioned bedrooms.  One of these is currently fitted as a very well-appointed Home Office with extensive desk-top space and bookshelves.   The Principal Bedroom is of a great size, offering a bay window to the front, fitted storage and the original under-eaves storage cupboard. 

The tired Bathroom features ceramic tiled walls and a nice window to the front. There is a coloured three-piece suite including a low-level WC, a pedestal wash hand basin, and a panel-enclosed bath with curtain and high-flow shower over. 

Outside
The property has a great deal of kerb appeal and architectural merit.  It occupies a prime position on this desirable road with a large gravel driveway and plenty of mature planting.  There is currently no dropped kerb or cross-over and therefore no vehicular access.  There will be a cost to rectifying this which we feel is reflected in the asking price. 

The storm porch is classic 1930’s and a secure gate to the side of the property discretely delineates out-door living space from front garden Utility Space.  

The roof has been renewed in recent years to include greatly enhanced thermal efficiency as evidenced by an EPC rating of B. This property also benefits from a full solar array and low energy lighting through-out which significantly reduces energy bills.  

A substantial lean-to at the rear of the property currently serves outdoor storage with additional potential to be converted into further living accommodation (subject to relevant consent).  

The large rear garden boasts a desirable south-east facing aspect and is brimming with mature and established plantings, making it likely to become your tranquil outdoor retreat. The paved path down the garden leads to the vast outbuilding/workshop at the rear  878.4sqft / 81.61 sqm (see ground plan). This benefits from a partially glazed roof and several distinct areas and must be seen to be believed!  An impressive structure that lends itself to many different uses including space to run a business from home.  

Full Planning Permission (WP/14/00310/FUL) was granted in 2014 for a very large side and rear extension to this house.  Although now lapsed the current owner asserts that this is valuable precedent for your own development aspirations.
