Millies Lane, Bulwick, Northamptonshire, NN17

Set down a quiet country lane in one of Northamptonshire's most picturesque villages, Paddock House is an exceptional newly constructed residence that perfectly balances traditional craftsmanship with the comfort and convenience of modern living.

Built of local limestone beneath a handsome blue slate roof, the house sits comfortably within its surroundings, drawing inspiration from the area's rich architectural heritage. Behind its elegant façade, however, lies a home designed entirely for contemporary family life, where generous proportions, natural light and seamless connections to the outdoors create a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere.

From the moment of arrival, Paddock House conveys a sense of privacy and tranquillity. The gravelled driveway leads to the house and double garage, while beyond, beautifully landscaped south-facing gardens provide a private sanctuary.
At the heart of the home is a magnificent open-plan kitchen and living space, thoughtfully designed as the social centre of the house. Whether hosting family gatherings around the substantial central island, enjoying long weekend lunches with friends, or simply relaxing beside the dual-aspect log burner, this is a space that effortlessly adapts to every occasion. Large doors open directly onto the terrace and gardens, encouraging an easy flow between indoor and outdoor living throughout the seasons.

The adjoining family room provides a more intimate retreat, while the elegant sitting room offers a sophisticated setting, centred around a striking fireplace and framed by views over the gardens and the property's unique water feature, The Rill.

Practicality has been considered as carefully as aesthetics. A walk-in pantry, generous utility room and extensive built-in storage ensure the home functions as beautifully as it looks, making everyday family life both efficient and enjoyable.

The principal suite occupies its own private domain, accessed via an oak staircase and arranged to create a luxurious sanctuary. A sitting area, bedroom and beautifully appointed en suite are complemented by a balcony overlooking the gardens, providing the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee or evening sunset in complete privacy.

A separate staircase rises from the kitchen to the first-floor family accommodation, where a light-filled landing and dramatic picture window frame far-reaching countryside views. Four beautifully proportioned vaulted bedrooms, two with en suite facilities and Juliet balconies, are complemented by a stylish family bathroom.

Throughout the house, the quality of specification is immediately apparent. Bespoke cabinetry engineered oak flooring, Duravit sanitary ware, premium brassware and carefully selected finishes combine to create interiors that feel both elegant and enduring. Modern technology is seamlessly integrated, with underfloor heating served by an energy-efficient air source heat pump, mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, structured data cabling throughout, CCTV security and pre-wiring for high-speed connectivity including Starlink. All this with the peace of mind of a 10 year architect’s insurance backed warranty.

Outside

The gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped to provide a series of attractive outdoor spaces that can be enjoyed throughout the year. A substantial south-facing terrace offers the ideal setting for al fresco dining and entertaining, while lawns and planting create a sense of maturity and seclusion.

A particular highlight is The Rill, an exceptional water feature that introduces movement, reflection and atmosphere to the landscape, enhancing the peaceful character of the setting.

Extensive parking is provided by the gravelled driveway and detached double garage with automated door, while additional parking adjacent to the utility entrance offers practical convenience for family life.
