Buttmead, Blisworth, NN7

Details:
Set on a generous corner plot in an established village, this two-bedroom semi-detached house offers well-balanced accommodation and clear potential for improvement.

Location:
Blisworth is an attractive village situated approximately five miles south of Northampton and four miles north of Towcester. It is well-placed for commuting, with excellent road links to the A43 and M1 motorway (Junction 15) providing convenient access to London, Birmingham, and the wider motorway network. Northampton railway station offers regular direct services to London Euston and Birmingham New Street.

The village retains much of its old-world charm, characterised by period stone cottages, a historic church, and the Grand Union Canal, which runs through the village. The canal towpaths offer excellent opportunities for walking, cycling, and leisurely recreation, with the Blisworth Tunnel and nearby Stoke Bruerne providing points of interest for those keen to explore the area's waterways heritage. An annual Canal Festival, hosted by the village, draws visitors from across the region.

Local amenities include a village shop incorporating a post office and news agency, a doctors' surgery, and two well-regarded public houses, The Royal Oak and The Walnut Tree Inn. Blisworth Community Primary School serves the village and its surrounds, whilst secondary schooling is available at the Elizabeth Woodville School in Roade. A variety of independent and grammar schools in Northampton and surrounding areas are also accessible.

Accommodation:
Entrance Hall
The entrance hall is accessed via a panelled front door incorporating a double-glazed moonlight and three-bar locking mechanism. A quarter-turn staircase with loop-pile carpet and handrail rises to the first-floor accommodation, with natural light provided by a top-hung casement window to the side elevation. Four-panel doors lead through to the principal sitting room and the kitchen.

Sitting / Dining Room
Positioned on the right-hand side of the house, this generously proportioned dual-aspect reception room provides sitting and dining areas. Large casement windows to the front and rear elevations allow for excellent natural light throughout the day. The floors have been stripped back in preparation for new finishes, while the original fireplace has been sealed.

Kitchen
Located to the rear left-hand side of the property, the kitchen is arranged in a practical galley-style layout. A three-pane window overlooks the rear garden, while a part-glazed door opens to the side utility area. The room is fitted with a range of base and wall units, with a stainless steel sink and drainer positioned beneath the window, and offers good storage together with space for a freestanding cooker and fridge freezer.

Utility / Store
Accessed both from the side elevation and directly from the kitchen, this practical three-bay ancillary space incorporates a utility area, store and side porch. The utility section is positioned to the left and is fitted with a three-pane casement window together with plumbing for a washing machine. A separate storage area, formerly used for fuel storage, is accessed via a slatted, ledged-and-braced door with T-bar hinges and a Suffolk latch.

First Floor Landing
The first-floor landing is naturally lit by a casement window to the side elevation. A timber ceiling hatch provides access to the roof void. The floor is laid with matching loop-pile carpet, with flush doors leading to the bedrooms and a panelled door opening to the bathroom.

Bedroom One
A well-proportioned double bedroom positioned to the front right-hand side of the property, featuring a partly vaulted ceiling. Two separate casement windows provide good natural light. The walls are finished with embossed lining paper, while the floor has been stripped back to the original pine boards, ready for new floor coverings. A useful over-stairs cupboard provides additional storage and is fitted with a clothes rail.

Bedroom Two
A further well-proportioned double bedroom, again featuring a partly vaulted ceiling. A three-pane casement window frames far-reaching views and provides good natural light. The floor has been stripped back to the original pine boards, ready for new floor coverings, and there is a built-in cupboard with flush timber doors housing the modern combination boiler.

Bathroom
The bathroom is fitted with a three-piece suite comprising a panelled bath with electric shower over, ceramic wash hand basin and close-coupled WC. There is partial ceramic tiling to the sanitary areas, together with a three-pane obscured casement window to the rear elevation providing natural light and ventilation. Additional ventilation is provided by a wall-mounted extractor, while heating is by way of a high-level chrome ladder-style towel radiator.

Grounds:
Front Aspect
The property occupies a generous corner plot, with a dropped kerb providing vehicular access through double-swing timber picket gates to a hardstanding area for off-road parking. An adjoining pathway leads to the main front entrance. The parking area is bordered by well-proportioned lawned sections, with timber picket fencing forming the boundary. The principal entrance is marked by a tiled step and projecting canopy. In addition, there is a separate hardstanding area, enclosed from the main garden, which accommodates a useful timber storage shed.

Side and Rear Aspects
The lawned garden continues around the side elevation, with a pathway providing access through to the rear garden. To the rear, the garden is triangular in shape, with a pathway extending towards the back of the plot and the remaining areas laid to lawn.
