Fotheringhay, Peterborough, Northamptonshire, PE8

Occupying a glorious 0.4 acre plot in the heart of a desirable village nearby to the historic market town of Oundle, this thoughtfully improved home offering highly versatile accommodation spanning approximately 2,600sqft. The village is a real gem of the local area, with a pub, village hall, outstanding neighbouring countryside and a strong local community.

THE PROPERTY
Having been extended and re-modelled over time, both ground and first floors offer excellent levels of versatility. The entrance hall is a spacious reception area, which leads to one of the five reception rooms, an integral garage, and a ground floor shower room. This Western wing of the house offers clear annexing potential, whilst remaining a wonderful space to be used by either a growing family or anybody desiring a peaceful escape from the rest of the house.

Beside the reception hall is a sizeable dining room which overlooks the charming front garden, before heading to the re-modelled and recently replaced bespoke kitchen/breakfast room. This is a particularly bright and open space with a range of handmade cabinetry topped with Quartz work surfaces and fitted with a range of appliances. Creating a wonderful connection to the outside, a conservatory sits beyond the kitchen, offering a great space if looking to either entertain or take advantage of the views over the peaceful grounds.

A formal living room sits on the South side of the property, which makes for a comfortable and relaxing space with views over the front gardens; and the final reception room is positioned beside the breakfast area of the kitchen which is currently used as a home office with a dual aspect and French doors leading to the rear garden. Also nearby the kitchen is a useful utility room and a downstairs cloakroom.

Upstairs, the landing leads to five bedrooms, two of which having ensuite facilities, and a three-piece family bathroom. The principal bedroom boasts a vaulted ceiling and its own outdoor terrace that overlooks the grounds and neighbouring fields. This bedroom benefits from fitted storage and a tasteful three-piece ensuite shower room. Bedroom two is a further double room with another ensuite shower room, with bedrooms three and four being further doubles and the fifth being a single, which is currently used as a secondary home office.

OUTSIDE
Measuring approximately 0.41 acres, the grounds are a particular feature of the home. Having been carefully landscaped and lovingly maintained, the rear gardens are split into various areas, including a formal lawn, a vegetable garden with raised beds, a patio spanning the width of the property and a pond.

Enclosed by a five-bar-gate, the front gardens and driveway have been separated from the rear by a post and rail fence. The carefully curated driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles and leads to the integral garage. The garage, formerly a single, presents a clear opportunity to reinstate if so required.

LOCATION
The village of Fotheringhay is one of Northamptonshire’s most charming and historically rich villages. Surrounded by gently rolling countryside and unspoilt rural views, it offers a rare blend of tranquility, heritage and quintessential English character.

The village retains a strong sense of history, notably through the magnificent St Mary & All Saints Church, whose striking tower dominates the skyline and serves as a landmark for miles around.

Oundle nearby 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.
