Description

Located in the heart of a highly sought-after Northamptonshire village, The Old Bakehouse is a beautiful Grade II listed 18th-century chocolate box cottage set within a 0.28 acre plot, perfectly balancing character, charm and history with modern family living. Extending to over 2,600 sq ft, the property offers five bedrooms and three bathrooms, including a ground floor bedroom and shower room, providing excellent flexibility. Rich in period features, including an original bread oven and exposed beams, the property also offers studio annexe potential, creating a truly special and versatile home. The thatch was completely renewed approximately five years ago using Norfolk reed, a premium and long-lasting material.

The ground floor offers a versatile and well-balanced layout, centred around a charming kitchen/breakfast room with granite worktops, a traditional Aga and an original bread oven, creating a warm yet highly functional space. The Aga is complemented by a four-ring gas hob with an electric oven and grill, allowing for practical everyday use, particularly during the warmer months. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, microwave and American-style fridge/freezer. A spacious dining room, currently arranged to incorporate a playroom area, sits just off the kitchen, while a cosy sitting room features an inglenook fireplace with gas stove. The impressive family room provides excellent space for everyday living and entertaining, and also forms part of the studio annexe potential. A utility room, along with a ground floor bedroom and shower room, further enhances the flexibility of the accommodation. Character features are evident throughout, with period details carefully preserved and enhanced.

The first floor offers four further bedrooms and two bathrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from a vaulted ceiling, Juliet balcony and its own en suite shower room, while bedroom two features a built-in wardrobe. The remaining two bedrooms are currently arranged as a home office and dressing room/nursery. The dressing room includes built-in storage which, if preferred, could be removed to create a more spacious fourth bedroom, offering excellent flexibility.

The exterior of the property is equally impressive, set within a 0.28 acre plot with a walled garden offering ample space for outdoor entertaining, gardening and family life, with plenty of room for children to play. A large patio provides an ideal area for al fresco dining, while the property also benefits from a garage and ample driveway parking, securely positioned behind electric gates.

Location:
Located in the popular village of Kislingbury, the property enjoys a range of local amenities including a village shop, three pubs, a parish church and a well-regarded primary school, with secondary education available at Campion School in Bugbrooke and a selection of excellent private schools nearby.
