Grange Road, Stanwick, Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, NN9

AN IMPOSING GEORGIAN HOUSE PRESENTED IN EXCELLENT CONDITION FOR ITS AGE AND SET IN MATURE GROUNDS

This fine Grade II listed stone built house dates back to the late 17th century and like many period houses, has been altered and extended to provide for modern 21st century living.

The Grange enjoys a commanding position set back from Grange Road and protected by its own mature garden and grounds that surround the property on all sides offering privacy and protection. The current owners have been extremely good custodians over the last 24 years and the property is presented in excellent condition internally and externally. Whilst enjoying a timeless charm with period features, it also feels modern and a glazed link to the rear offers access to the stunning open plan kitchen/dining room with direct access to west facing outdoor dining terrace and rear grounds.

The Grange is ideally suited for entertaining and the detached garage block with amazing home office/studio above could easily be converted to create annexe living facilities if required. One really needs to view to fully appreciate all on offer.
