Church Street, Warmington, Northamptonshire, PE8

The Property

This striking Victorian vicarage, set adjacent to the Church of St Mary, is constructed of stone beneath a Welsh slate-tiled roof and offers a superb blend of period character and modern refinement.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors and retains a wealth of original features, including tiled flooring, elegant replacement sash windows, and a beautifully proportioned staircase rising from the reception hall. The current owners have undertaken an extensive programme of renovation, including the installation of a new slate roof, a full rewire, and a new heating system, resulting in a highly impressive and efficient family home.

The layout is ideally suited to family living. A spacious tiled entrance hall leads to two generous reception rooms, both featuring fireplaces and large windows overlooking the gardens, enjoying an abundance of natural light from southerly and westerly aspects. A separate study sits to the front of the house with views across the driveway.

The kitchen/dining room with underfloor heating has been thoughtfully refitted with bespoke cabinetry, offering ample space for a dining table and chairs, with doors opening onto the courtyard. There is also access to a cellar and pantry. A well-proportioned utility/boot room houses the boiler and provides additional storage, with a door leading to the courtyard.

There are two staircases to the first floor. The principal staircase rises to a galleried landing, flooded with light from a large stained-glass window, and serves three bedrooms. Leading directly from the principal bedroom is a box room, offering excellent potential to create a dressing room or en suite bathroom. A secondary staircase, accessed from the kitchen lobby, leads to two further bedrooms and the family bathroom. The boarded attic provides plenty of extra storage accessible from the landing with a loft ladder.

Outside

The property is screened from the road by mature trees and a low boundary wall. A gravel driveway leads to the front entrance and continues to a garage and the former Reading Room, which offers excellent potential for conversion into an annexe, office, or games room, all set within a gated courtyard. Additional outbuildings present further scope to extend the main house, potentially creating an exceptional boot and utility room accessed directly from the kitchen.

The private gardens are predominantly laid to lawn, featuring an ornamental pond, while the main garden lies to the west and is bordered by mature trees, providing a high degree of privacy and a tranquil setting.
