Paulerspury is an established village set within the South Northamptonshire countryside, close to the market town of Towcester. It offers a quiet rural setting while remaining convenient for wider amenities and commuter routes.

The village supports day-to-day living with a well-regarded public house and restaurant, The Barley Mow, and an active village hall hosting regular community events. For everyday essentials there is a Budgens on the A5, with a broader range of shops and services available in Towcester. Wakefield Country Courtyard offers a café, while Moorgate Farm Shop provides a good local option for fresh produce.

Schooling is well served, with Paulerspury Church of England Primary School in the village. Secondary education includes Sponne School in Towcester, with independent options nearby including Winchester House School (Brackley) and Northampton High School (Hardingstone).

The surrounding countryside provides access to footpaths and bridleways for walking, cycling and riding, while Whittlebury Park Golf & Country Club is close by with golf and spa facilities. For commuters, the village is well placed for the A5 and A43, connecting to the M1 (J15A) and M40. Milton Keynes (approx. 12 miles) offers extensive shopping and leisure facilities and direct rail services to London Euston (around 35 minutes), with Northampton also readily accessible for additional services and rail links.

Accommodation:
Sitting Room
The front entrance opens directly into the sitting room, a welcoming principal reception with notably high ceilings for a Victorian cottage of this scale. Engineered oak flooring has been fitted, with neutral décor to the walls.

A traditional three-light casement window to the front elevation provides good natural light. The room is centred around an attractive open fireplace with a quarry tile hearth, brick surround and segmental arch. Shaker-style fitted cupboards flank the chimney breast, with oak veneer shelving above, providing useful storage and display space.

A ledged and braced sliding door, set on a top-mounted roller, opens through to the central dining room.

Dining Room
Positioned centrally within the house, the dining room is a well-proportioned space with ample room for a family table and chairs. The engineered oak flooring continues through from the sitting room and a traditional three-light casement window to the rear elevation brings in good natural light. The room retains period character with a feature fireplace incorporating a cast-iron decorative insert and a classically styled pitch pine surround. The quarter-winder staircase rises from this room to the first-floor accommodation and is finished with oatmeal cut-pile carpeting, complemented by recently fitted oak veneer handrail and balustrading. Bespoke understairs cupboards have also been installed, providing excellent practical storage.

Kitchen
Situated to the rear of the property, the kitchen is fitted with Shaker-style wall and base units, complemented by oak-effect work surfaces. A large ceramic sink with drainer sits beneath a two-light window overlooking the rear garden, providing a pleasant outlook, and is fitted with a brushed chrome mixer tap with spray hose. Flooring is finished in riven, slate-effect tiles, and a traditionally styled stable door offers direct access to outside. Integrated appliances include a four-burner induction hob with brushed chrome extractor hood above and a Bosch single electric oven. Provision is made for a tall fridge/freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer. Splashbacks are finished in chamfered Metro tiles above the worktops, with the remaining walls in white emulsion.

Bathroom
The bathroom is situated within the part-vaulted ground-floor side extension and is fitted with a modern three-piece suite comprising a white bath with chrome mixer tap and shower over, a pedestal wash hand basin with chrome mixer tap, and a close-coupled WC. The room is neutrally decorated with large-format, marble-effect ceramic tiling to both walls and floor. Additional features include mechanical extract ventilation, a chrome ladder-style heated towel rail, and a top-hung casement window providing natural light and ventilation.

First Floor Landing
The first-floor landing is finished with matching oatmeal cut-pile carpeting and complemented by oak veneer handrails and balustrading. Traditional slatted, ledged doors-hung on a mix of Suffolk hinges and brass lever latches-open to the three bedrooms. A useful full-height storage cupboard provides fitted shelving and matching panelled doors. Walls are decorated in two-tone emulsion, and an attractive butt-and-beam panelling forms part of the approach to the central bedroom, incorporating high-level glazing to introduce borrowed light across the landing.

Bedroom One
A well-proportioned double bedroom positioned to the front of the property, with a three-light window overlooking the street scene. The room is neutrally decorated and features traditional stained pine floorboards, deep-set skirtings, and a retained concrete hearth. Built-in storage is provided by a substantial six-door oak-veneered wardrobe, with matching high-level cupboards above.

Bedroom Two
A further double bedroom located centrally within the house, with a traditional three-light window overlooking the rear garden. The room is finished in light blue emulsion and offers space for freestanding bedroom furniture. Exposed, stained pine floorboards and a retained painted concrete hearth continue the period feel.

Bedroom Three
A single bedroom with a traditional two-light window overlooking the rear garden. The room is finished in emulsion with deep-set skirtings, and retains exposed, stained pine floorboards. A built-in cupboard with a flush timber door provides useful storage and also houses the modern gas-fired combination boiler.

Grounds
Front Aspect
Set back from the High Street, the property presents an attractive Victorian façade constructed in roughly hewn, coursed limestone, with contrasting red brick quoins and window reveals. A wide gravelled frontage provides off-road parking for several vehicles. Close-boarded fencing with a lockable, ledged and braced timber gate gives secure access to the side and rear gardens.

Side and Rear Gardens
The gravelled side return is bordered by established planting and enclosed by close-boarded fencing. Within this area is a recently installed office pod (available by separate negotiation), together with a separate profiled steel storage unit, creating a useful work-from-home option alongside practical external storage. The gravelled terrace provides a well-proportioned seating area and benefits from direct pedestrian access to the kitchen via a stable door, lending itself to day-to-day use and informal outdoor dining. The main rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn, complemented by a raised planter to the right-hand side with established low-level trees and perennial planting. In the far corner, a timber garden shed sits alongside a pergola, providing sheltered space for additional seating.

Garden Office (Available by Separate Negotiation)
A versatile home office with a durable plastisol finish. The unit is insulated and fitted with power and lighting, with grey ash sheet vinyl flooring. Natural light is provided by two full-height windows, each fitted with integral blinds and incorporating a single opening casement. Access is via a central door with a five-lever locking mechanism, and the office is served by a separate fused electrical supply. Well suited to home working, a studio space or hobbies, and available by separate negotiation.
