Glapthorn Road, Oundle, Peterborough, Northamptonshire, PE8

An entirely bespoke and highly specified contemporary home built in 2015, occupying a discreet and gated plot within close proximity to the town centre. Arguably one of the most unique properties in Oundle, the versatile and expansive accommodation is set on one level, with high ceilings, thoughtfully curated features and outstanding areas for entertaining, family living, home-working and particularly generous sleeping accommodation.

INSIDE
The reception hall is flooded with natural light through a large skylight, and your eyes are immediately drawn to the high ceilings. The living and sleeping accommodation are nicely positioned on opposite sides of the property, the majority of which being accessible from the hallway

A standout feature is the open-plan kitchen/living/dining room, which offers plenty of space and versatility. The kitchen itself is fitted with bespoke cabinetry and a variety of integrated appliances including an oversized electric fan oven, chef’s-style gas hobs, two dishwashers, twin drinks fridges, and a low-level fridge. Additional appliances and storage are situated in the secondary kitchen area. With two sets of folding doors and a sizeable skylight, the continued living and dining areas feel surprisingly warm and homely and offer an excellent opportunity for indoor-outdoor living.

The main living room is another large space, with bespoke cabinetry and a modern inglenook fireplace finished with a wood burning stove. Folding doors lead to one of the discreet outside courtyards, and there are double internal doors connecting the space to the kitchen area.

Situated in the Northern wing of the property is a utility room which has a selection of cabinetry and access to the outside. Beyond here is a useful room, currently set up as a home office, which has a bespoke workspace as well as space for lounging.

The sleeping accommodation has been particularly well considered, with three of the bedrooms having air-conditioning, their own ensuites and large amounts of storage space. The principal bedroom is an impressive area, with a large sleeping area, private snug, and not only his-and-hers walk-in wardrobes, but his-and-hers bathroom suites to match. Bedrooms two and three are identical in size and offer space for kingsize beds and additional furniture, and there is floor-to-ceiling fitted wardrobes, and matching en-suite bathrooms. Bedroom four is another versatile room which is also positioned off the hallway, as are an additional shower room and cloakroom.
The garaging is integral and accessible from an inner hall, and has an electric roller door, plenty of power sockets and cleverly designed storage solutions.

OUTSIDE
The property sits nicely within the plot, meaning that there are two main sections to the garden, as well as a resin driveway that offers gated parking for a vast amount of vehicles. The main garden is largely laid to lawn with thoughtfully landscaped raised beds and borders, as well as a footpath leading to an outbuilding, currently used for entertaining, being decked out as a private bar. There is a beautifully designed patio which wraps around two elevations of the main house, part of which has a covered outdoor kitchen area that is positioned beside the indoor kitchen, as well as an additional area which offers plenty of privacy off the principal bedroom.

LOCATION
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.
