Main Street, Glapthorn, Northamptonshire, PE8

A highly specified home occupying a plot of approximately 0.6 acres having been extensively renovated and extended by the current owners. Thoughtfully designed with modern living in mind, one of the standout features is an expansive kitchen/living/dining room, measuring approximately 850 square feet, which has impressive views over the garden and neighboring countryside.

INSIDE
From the moment you step inside, your eyes are drawn through the hallway to a wonderful view of the garden. The hallway leads to the living kitchen, cloakroom, study and utility room. The cloakroom and utility room have both been fitted with contemporary fixtures and the study sits away from the main living space, making for a quiet working area.

The kitchen/dining/living room is a vast space that spans the entirety of the rear aspect, with oversized sliding doors that open onto the peaceful, private rear garden. The kitchen itself has an array of clever storage solutions, various appliances and a large amount of worktop space, with a large island being positioned to create a divide between the cooking and living areas. The living area feels like it’s own space, feeling comfortably separated from the rest of the ground floor. With views over both the garden and neighbouring farmland and sliding doors opening onto the garden terrace, creating a great sense of indoor-outdoor living.

With the extension being both full-width and two-storey, the first floor now has four double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The principal bedroom is an excellent size and has enviable views to the rear from a Juliette balcony. The ensuite, accessible from both the principal bedroom and the landing, doubles as a family bathroom when required. It has been beautifully designed and fitted with a highly specified four-piece suite, including an oversize shower enclosure and freestanding bath. Bedroom two is a double room with views over a paddock to the front, and benefits from a tastefully fitted ensuite shower room. Bedroom three is a particularly versatile and spacious room, with views over the neighbouring farmland from one aspect and a Juliette balcony overlooking the rear garden. The fourth and final bedroom is a further double room which benefits from open views to the side aspect.

OUTSIDE
The plot measures approximately 0.6 acres and is West-facing. Offering a high level of privacy, the rear garden is largely laid to lawn with mature trees, views over directly neighbouring farmland and a stream running the length of the plot. Directly off the back of the property is a substantial terrace with porcelain floor tiles, creating a great area for entertaining and dining.
To the front is a block-paved driveway offering parking for multiple vehicles which leads to the double garage.

LOCATION
Glapthorn is a highly regarded village that has a strong community feel. The village primary school is a particular draw to the area, and St Leonard’s is one of the more active churches in the region. The village lies approximately half a mile from Oundle and is connected by a footpath, making this a great option for those that value village life but like to stay connected.

Oundle has a vibrant community feel and is well equipped with schools, services, independent shops and restaurants and one of the finest churches in the region. The home of a weekly market and monthly farmers’ market, it is the setting for many festivals throughout the year. Oundle School traces its history to its foundation in 1556 by the Lord Mayor of London. Today, many facilities are shared with the town - including a sports centre with a 50-metre swimming pool, an art gallery and the Stahl theatre/cinema/concert venue.
