Main Street, Woodnewton, Northamptonshire, PE8

Spinney Farm Cottage is a quintessential Grade II listed stone under thatch home, occupying a delightful position within the highly regarded village of Woodnewton. Believed in part to date from the 17th century, the cottage is rich in history and character, with later additions thoughtfully complementing the original dwelling over the centuries. Combining period charm with practical family accommodation, the property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy an authentic village lifestyle within one of the area’s most desirable settings.

The property is approached via a five-bar gate opening into the rear garden, providing a delightful sense of arrival and immediate privacy. Added in 2005, the attractive conservatory serves as the principal entrance to the home and serves as a wonderfully versatile reception space, enjoying views across the south-facing garden, with natural light flooding the space throughout the day.

From here, an inner hallway leads through to the heart of the home, a spacious dual-aspect kitchen/breakfast room featuring bespoke wall and base cabinetry alongside ample space for a farmhouse dining table. Rich in character, this charming room is believed to have once served as the village shop, forming part of a 19th century extension to the original cottage and adding to the home’s rich sense of history. Combining practicality with considerable charm, the room provides a welcoming and highly sociable space, well suited to both everyday family life and informal entertaining.

The inner hall also provides access to the principal reception room, a wonderfully atmospheric and versatile space currently arranged with two seating areas, although equally well suited to formal dining and relaxed living. An exceptional inglenook fireplace with a striking copper canopy creates an elegant focal point, further emphasising the cottage’s rich heritage and character. Exposed beams and an abundance of period detailing combine seamlessly with the generous proportions, creating a reception space perfectly suited to both everyday family living and entertaining.

A further hallway leads through to the ground floor shower room, fitted with a freestanding shower, wash basin and WC, whilst at the far end of the cottage is a useful study, ideal for those working from home or seeking a quiet retreat away from the main living areas.

To the first floor, the cottage continues to impress with four well-proportioned double bedrooms and a spacious family bathroom. The accommodation lends itself well to family life, whilst also providing flexibility for guests, hobbies or further workspace if required.
Outside, the beautifully maintained south-facing garden has been carefully arranged to provide both beauty and practicality. Mature borders create a peaceful and enclosed setting, while an elevated patio terrace offers an idyllic position for alfresco dining and evening entertaining during the warmer months. A timber shed provides useful garden storage, and off-road parking for one vehicle adds further convenience.
