Pegs Lane, Denford, Kettering, Northamptonshire, NN14

A BESPOKE, ONE-OFF BUILD OCCUPYING AN ESTABLISHED PLOT OF AROUND HALF AN ACRE IN THE HEART OF A SOUGHT-AFTER RIVERSIDE VILLAGE.

Built in 2014, this barn-style home offers spacious accommodation across two floors, with five bedrooms, four bathrooms, three reception rooms and a generous driveway leading to a large integral garage. The village is highly regarded and boasts a welcoming pub as well as outstanding countryside and neighbouring water meadows on the doorstep.

THE PROPERTY
Occupying a central position, the impressive reception hall is flooded with natural light, with a particular feature being an oak staircase leading to a floating galleried landing overhead. The ground floor has been thoughtfully designed, with an expansive open-plan living space and kitchen and adjoining contemporary orangery in the Eastern wing, and highly functional spaces, as well as a cosy sitting room occupying the Western wing.

The kitchen measures roughly 575 square feet and is an exceptional space for both entertaining and living. There is a generous range of cabinetry and integrated appliances, topped with a combination of granite and woodblock work surfaces. This room has been thoughtfully designed to maximise the space, offering ample room for an 8+ seater dining table as well as a comfortable living area. Spanning the width of the rear elevation is a bright orangery which is connected to the kitchen by two sets of folding doors, with the external elevation opening almost fully onto the principal outdoor terrace through a choice of either folding or French doors, creating a great connection to the outside.

Across the reception hall in the Western wing is a downstairs cloakroom and a particularly cosy sitting room which has a dual aspect and a tasteful wood burning stove. A sizeable utility room is positioned beside an inner hall and the large integral garage can be accessed both via external barn-style doors and internal personnel doors from both inner and reception halls. There is clear potential for the Western wing to be annexed, with all services and ample space available on the ground floor, should it be so desired.

The first-floor landing is another wonderful feature which offers a great sense of light and space from the gallery. There are five bedrooms and four bathrooms on this floor, offering great versatility. The principal bedroom is a notably large room with a dual aspect and views over the grounds and surrounding countryside and water meadows. There is a walk-in wardrobe and spacious three-piece ensuite shower room serving this bedroom. Bedroom two is a large double room benefitting from an ensuite which is fitted with a tasteful three-piece shower room, with the third bedroom being another sizeable double room with a further ensuite shower room. Bedroom four is another generous double, and bedroom five is currently used as an office with extensive fitted shelving, both being situated within the Western wing and served by a neighbouring large four-piece bathroom.


OUTSIDE
The grounds, measuring a combined total of roughly 0.5 acres, have been beautifully landscaped, with three core areas having been created. Directly accessible from the orangery to the rear is a private terrace which is laid with porcelain slabs and is surrounded by an impressively maintained and stocked tiered garden. Steps lead to a more conventional lawn which makes for a great space for children to play or simply an area to relax. Running the depth of the house are tiered and gravelled terraces enclosed by high quality traditional estate fencing, as well as an original Second World War air raid shelter. Beside the lawn to the rear is a secluded orchard that is home to a variety of fruit trees, all bordered by a peaceful brook.

The front has been thoughtfully designed to offer a block-paved driveway which accommodates parking for multiple vehicles, as well as having a quaint front garden which is connected to the Western wing of the property.

LOCATION
Denford is a charming village set in attractive countryside, offering a peaceful setting while remaining well connected to nearby amenities. The property is ideally situated near the historic market towns of Thrapston and Oundle, both of which provide a range of independent shops, cafes, pubs and eateries.

The area is particularly well regarded for schooling, with options including the highly respected Oundle School, alongside a selection of primary and secondary schools in the surrounding villages and towns.

For commuters, Denford benefits from convenient access to major road links including the A14, connecting to the M1 and A1, while mainline rail services can be found at nearby Kettering, offering direct routes to London St Pancras.
