Northampton Road, Lavendon

A very nicely-presented period cottage that has been significantly enlarged to now offer over 1,000 sq. ft. of accommodation, which stands at the front of a very deep plot with a substantial outbuilding in the grounds at the rear, for sale by Public Auction on Wednesday 5th August 2026.

This charming end-of-row stone cottage is located within the heart of the village, with a no through road at the side leading to other residential properties. From this side road is a vehicular entrance to the rear section of the plot where there is a single-storey stone outbuilding, a patio, and a large gravelled area providing hardstanding for several vehicles. From this rear section, a gated entrance leads into a very pretty and private courtyard garden with flagstone paving, a timber summerhouse, and raised flower beds.

The cottage has been significantly enlarged on the ground floor so that in addition to the original two reception rooms, there is a well-appointed galley kitchen, a cloakroom with a toilet and hand basin, and an additional room with French doors into the courtyard garden that offers the flexibility to use as either a third reception room or as a second bedroom. On the first floor, the bathroom has an attractive white suite that includes both a bath tub and a separate shower, and there is a generous master bedroom with a door to a steep staircase with left and right treads up to a loft room that has Velux windows and an ensuite cloakroom.

The cottage benefits from entrances at the front, rear and side, and all of the doors are UPVC flood secure doors that were fitted in 2025, together with two self-closing air bricks under the front widow, following a minor flooding incident which resulted in an amount of refurbishment to the ground floor, the most notable being the installation of new flooring.
