Heartsease Cottage, High Street, Stanion

A charming Grade II listed stone and thatched cottage, set within the heart of the sought-after village of Stanion.

The property offers deceptively spacious accommodation extending to approximately 1,016 sq. ft., together with a range of useful outbuildings, a gated driveway, and off-road parking for multiple vehicles, as well as a garage. Retaining a wealth of period features, including exposed beams and multiple fireplaces, the cottage presents an appealing balance of character and potential, with scope for further enhancement if desired.

The ground floor is arranged around a well-proportioned dining room with wood-burning stove, forming a central living space. A separate sitting room lies beyond, featuring an open fireplace, fitted shelving, and access to the rear garden. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of oak units, a central island, and an AGA, with direct access to the rear garden.

On the first floor are two bedrooms, including a particularly generous principal bedroom with exposed beams and flooded with natural light. A family bathroom serves both rooms, with a large and versatile storage area accessed from the landing, offering potential to be reconfigured into a third bedroom (subject to the necessary consents).

Outside
The property is approached via a gated driveway providing parking for several vehicles.  On one side is a brick and timber greenhouse with a covered seating area.  A covered wood store sits alongside the stone-built garage with WC.  The garage offers the potential to be converted into annexe accommodation (subject to the necessary consents). 

Overall, an excellent opportunity to acquire a charming period home with outbuildings and further potential, in the heart of a sought-after village.

The Location

Recently featured in The Guardian as a commuter hotspot, Stanion is a well-regarded Northamptonshire village, surrounded by open countryside and offering a strong sense of community. Amenities within the village include a primary school and village hall, with further facilities available in nearby Brigstock, Geddington, and Corby, where a wider range of shops, supermarkets, and everyday conveniences can be found.

Corby provides a mainline railway station with direct services to London St Pancras in just over an hour, while the A43 and A14 offer convenient road links to the wider region, making the area well suited to commuters.

The surrounding countryside provides excellent opportunities for walking, cycling, and outdoor pursuits, with a number of well-regarded country parks nearby. Market towns such as Uppingham, Oundle, and Thrapston offer a further range of independent shops, restaurants, and schooling options, while Rushden Lakes is within easy reach, providing a popular retail and leisure destination.
