North Street, Titchmarsh, Kettering, North Northamptonshire, NN14

We are excited to bring to the market this stylish newly converted barn by award-winning developer Distinctive Developments, in the thriving east Northamptonshire village of Titchmarsh.

The Threshing Barn forms part of Village Farm, a stunning collection of five individual family homes created by converting this traditional range of barns into beautiful bespoke homes.

Much character has been retained through sensitive and tasteful craftsmanship, and this unique offering is very much welcomed by the local community – not only does Village Farm provide a range of house types and sizes, but the impressive presentation and finish of these new homes is a true complement to this historic village and the former use of the site.

Village Farm is located in a quiet and private corner of the village, and is accessed via North Street which is a no through road; The Threshing Barn is on the edge of this courtyard development.

Constructed of materials typical of the rural location - coursed rubble and ashlar stone and red brick, set under a slate roof - this elegant village home has been meticulously converted, exposing many of its original features. The original roof timbers bring real charm to the vaulted upper floor, and the original large door opening is now a striking picture window with views onto the private garden.

Timber windows, galvanised steel guttering, and the oak framed car port add to the character of this delightful home which offers 2,100 square feet of living space.

The dining kitchen is fitted with a range of contemporary shaker style cabinets finished in a light shell colourway set under a quartz worktop with brushed brass hardware. Integrated appliances and quartz splashbacks complete the specification of this characterful kitchen.

The laundry room is finished with the same shaker style cabinets and quartz worktop.

From the light filled hall, a beautiful bespoke oak staircase leads up to the first floor providing a family bathroom, double bedroom with spacious wet room, and a master suite comprising a double bedroom with ensuite and separate dressing room; this lovely space also lends itself to hobby/study use or as an adjoining nursery or child’s bedroom.

The impressive vaulted top floor provides two further bedrooms and a cloakroom.

All bathrooms are beautifully finished with freestanding vanity units, porcelain tiles, rainfall showers, and heated towel rails and mirrors, with this high specification finish featuring products from Crosswater, Villeroy & Boch, Roman, Pegler and Roper Rhodes.

Handcrafted brass light fittings with fluted glass shades from Corston Architectural Detail completes the impressive interior specification of this stunning new home.

The technical specification includes an air source heat pump which provides a cost efficient means of heating the house, with underfloor heating to the ground floor, and fan convectors (with heating and cooling capability) to the upper floors. Fibre has been installed providing up to 1Gbps broadband speed. There is Cat 6 cabling enabling hardwiring of internet based devices to living space and bedrooms. The property is also CCTV and alarm ready and EV charge point ready.

Approached across a gravel driveway, there are parking areas to the front and rear of the house, with landscaped south and north facing gardens.
There is an oak-framed double garage with room above.

The Threshing Barn is an inviting family home and offers the best of both worlds – rural charm, traditional features and village life, with all the benefits of a new home – low maintenance, energy efficient living (with an EPC B rating, equivalent to a new house), and a 10 year build warranty.
