Three Bedroom Semi-Detached Property For Sale in Crick, Northamptonshire
A three-bedroom home in the heart of Crick, offered for sale through our 28 Day Express Sale method and measuring approximately 904 sq.ft.
This is a solid, well-proportioned village home with two connected reception rooms, a kitchen, a rear porch/garden room, three bedrooms, a modern bathroom, a detached garage and a large mature rear garden.
It is important to say early on that the property would benefit from decorating and the kitchen is likely to be something most buyers will want to replace. However, the bathroom is fairly modern, the electrics were updated in 2022, there is oil central heating, and solar panels feed into batteries and the grid.
So, whilst it is not a pristine, newly finished home, it has a lot going for it and offers a really good opportunity for someone who wants a home they can improve over time in one of Northamptonshire’s most popular villages.

MORE DETAILS
There is a lot to like about this home, but it is important to be honest about what it is.
This is not a show home. The décor is not fresh but it is neutral and modern. The kitchen is now dated and likely to be replaced by the next owner. But if you can look beyond that, this is a good-sized three-bedroom home in a lovely village position, with a large garden room, garage, mature rear garden, solar panels and a layout that works well for day-to-day family life.
The property sits in Rectory Close, a quiet residential street in Crick, within easy reach of the village centre, the local school, shop, pubs and village walks. It is the sort of location that works well for families, downsizers and commuters alike.
Please do take time to look through the photos, floorplan and video before arranging a viewing, as they will help explain the layout, garden, condition and overall opportunity here.
The front door opens into the hallway, with the staircase rising to the first floor and doors leading into the main ground floor accommodation.
To the front of the house is the living room, measuring approximately 12’ x 13’8”. This is a generous, naturally bright room with a large front window, a feature fireplace and plenty of space for sofas and furniture. It has a simple, practical layout and flows through into the second reception room behind it.
That second reception room measures approximately 10’7” x 13’8” and gives the ground floor a much more flexible feel than some homes of this style. It could work as a dining room, sitting room, playroom or additional family space, depending on how you want to use the house.
One of the nice things about the layout is that the two reception rooms are connected, so the space feels sociable without being completely open plan. It gives you flexibility without losing the separation that many people still prefer.
From here, doors open into the rear porch/garden room, which is a really useful addition to the property.
The kitchen sits to the rear of the house and measures approximately 10’7” x 7’4”. As mentioned earlier, this is likely to be an area most buyers will want to replace. The current units are dated and the room would benefit from modernisation, but the space itself is practical, with a window overlooking the garden and a door through to the garden room.
Upstairs, the landing gives access to three bedrooms and the family bathroom.
Bedroom one is a good double room, measuring approximately 12’ x 11’2”. It is a comfortable main bedroom with space for wardrobes and additional furniture.
Bedroom two is another double, measuring approximately 10’6” x 11’11”, positioned to the rear of the house with a view over the garden. This room also offers good proportions and would work well as a second double bedroom, guest room or larger children’s room.
Bedroom three measures approximately 7’8” x 8’6”. It would make a good single bedroom, nursery, dressing room or home office, depending on your needs.
The bathroom has been updated and is much more modern than other parts of the house. It includes a bath with shower over, wash basin, WC, tiled walls and a window for natural light.
Outside, the rear garden is another strong part of the property.
It is mature, private and arranged over a mixture of patio and lawn, with established planting, shrubs, trees and borders. There is a paved area immediately behind the house, ideal for seating, with steps leading up to the lawn beyond.
The garden feels well established rather than newly landscaped, and whilst some buyers may choose to tidy and simplify it, there is already a good structure here. It has the sort of space that works well for families, gardening, pets or simply enjoying a bit of privacy outside.
There is also a detached garage, measuring approximately 16’ x 9’6”, which sits separately from the main house. This is ideal for storage, bikes, tools or workshop space.
In terms of practical points, the property has oil central heating. The electrics were updated in 2022. There are also solar panels, which feed into batteries and the grid, adding a useful modern feature.
There was previously planning associated with the property, although we understand this has now lapsed. It may still be worth buyers being aware of, especially if they are considering future alterations or improvements, but they should make their own enquiries with the local authority.
LOCATION
Crick is a sought-after village with a vibrant community spirit which stages many popular events, including an annual Scarecrow Festival and the Crick Boat Show (also held annually.) It's the ideal village for families.
It offers the perfect village lifestyle with its many walks right on your doorstep, including Crack's Hill, Millennium Wood, and, of course, the beautiful Grand Union Canal.
You also have a local Co-op, Post Office, and a choice of three pubs (The Wheatsheaf, Royal Oak, and The Red Lion - all within walking distance.) Also, there is the Ex-Servicemen's Club (Crick Club,) which is a great place to have a drink.
Pickle and Pie (which is quite literally around the corner,) the local Deli, does a fantastic range of breakfasts and lunches to eat in or take away - perfect if you're working from home and want to nip somewhere for a coffee and a sandwich (their Scotch eggs are amazing, too, by the way!)
Crick also has many activity groups for the family, including Cubs and Scouts, football, cricket, cycling, and a local history group.
A lot of families move into Crick because it is a family-friendly village, and the surrounding schools are a huge attraction. Crick Primary School is a short, safe walk away, and there are many secondary schools within a few miles.
Most children of secondary age in the village attend Guilsborough School; however, the two highly regarded grammar schools, Lawrence Sheriff and Rugby High, are accessible through the Eleven-Plus examination. There are further state-funded alternatives, including Ashlawn in Hillmorton and the new secondary school at Houlton, to say nothing of the world-famous fee-paying Rugby School.
Crick is served by an excellent road network, being located within a couple of miles of Junction 18 on the M1 and only a few miles further from the M6 and the A14. Stations at Rugby and Long Buckby are both approximately seven miles away; they offer first-rate rail links to London and Birmingham.
