Polwell Lane, Barton Seagrave, Kettering

A Little Bit Of Old, A Little Bit Of New…And A Vaulted Dining Room That Will Stop You In Your Tracks. Whether you’re looking for a more manageable move or a low maintenance family home, this immaculate bay fronted bungalow combines space and style in a sought after spot.

If the palm trees on the drive aren’t unusual enough, the dining room that looks out to them certainly adds to this dormer bungalow’s uniquely surprising appeal.

It’s a fantastic place to welcome friends and family, with a vaulted ceiling and exposed timber roof trusses running the full width overhead. Velux windows flood the space with light which catches the crystal chandelier. A multi-fuel burner sits in the original brick fireplace below.

If the dining room is the social space, the lounge at the back can be more of a cosy retreat with a brick fireplace housing a wood-burning stove and wide sliding doors that pull the back garden right into the room.

It’s accessed through the kitchen, via a small snug which will be ideal as a quiet place to read, relax or setup a home office.

The layout really does provide useful separation between the more sociable front of the house and the more private spaces at the rear.

The kitchen isn’t huge but it is a modern and practical galley, with shaker style fitted units, an integrated oven, hob, dishwasher and fridge-freezer.

A small utility area by the back door takes the washing machine out of the kitchen entirely - freeing up cupboard space.

Two double bedrooms sit on the ground floor - they’re similar in size, with one currently being used as a dressing room, with fitted wardrobes and French doors onto a private, sheltered seating area at the side. The ground floor shower room is a smart and modern, with a large walk-in shower.

The main bedroom occupies almost the full width of the first floor, with French doors opening to a Juliet balcony with open rooftop views. The four piece ensuite has both a stylish shower cubicle and a bath with a Velux skylight above.

Outside, the established back garden is a mix of gravelled seating areas, mature planting and a summer house tucked away into the corner. A pergola frames the back of the house.

A detached garage sits to the side with access from both the front drive and the garden. There's a surprising amount of space and in summer, with the lounge doors open and the garden laid out beyond, it all connects beautifully together.

For commuters or weekend visitors to the capital, Kettering station is only a ten-minute drive away and puts London Euston just an hour away.

The A14, A6 and M1 are all close, so the rest of the Midlands is equally accessible.

If you have children, Barton Seagrave Primary School is less than a 15 minute walk away, and The Latimer Arts College is a similar distance on foot or a short bike ride.

The location towards the southern edge of Barton Seagrave puts the Burton Latimer business park within easy reach - Weetabix and Morrison’s are literally 2 minutes in the car or walkable in less than quarter of an hour.

This immaculate, move-in ready bungalow is a great example of a property that delivers so much more than you might expect. Bungalows are always popular, so get in touch to arrange your viewing before someone else gets there first.
