Mill Hill, Little Oakley, Corby NN18 8HA

Description
INFORMATION FROM THE AGENT:
St Peters Church is located in an enviable position in the centre of this sought after hamlet with strong links to the local community and neighbouring Boughton House. The churchyard sits under the Diocese of Peterborough’s ownership, with right of access given along the pathways in order to reach the property. There’s a two-car parking area occupants of St Peters may use.
Being Grade II* listed, the evolution from place of worship to a place to call home wasn’t easy. The biggest challenge came when laying the new limestone floors, raised over the original flagstones. Underfloor heating and insulation are installed beneath the slate, there are damp-proofing measures defending the property, and two boilers serve the home, in four zones.
As for features, the list is extensive, and some such as the Archer which sits proudly in the main entrance hall pre-date the building itself. Throughout this stunning home there are grand arches and small alcoves, stained glass windows and a medieval mural, there are also many monuments, including one of a praying William Montagu and a phenomenal Montagu tomb. The font and the pulpit are positioned in the main living space, angel corbels watch over the primary bedroom, and there are interesting light fittings made from bell ropes and wheels.

As well as retaining every feature that could be resurrected or conserved, the general layout of the property has remained much as it was when the current owners purchased it. Newly fitted oak panelled partitions separate the spaces, with glazing above doorways to allow light to penetrate. The gallery is also a newer addition, and this is perfect for unwinding with a book, or simply appreciating all the character seen from this spot.

The nave is now the heart of the home with a spectacular vaulted ceiling, with the kitchen one side and living areas opposite. For such a vast, voluminous space, it’s surprisingly homely, and would work very well for both everyday family life and entertaining friends. The kitchen is the most modern area, fitted with a range of bespoke navy-blue cabinets, chestnut worktops, and an island with stone surfacing. It’s well equipped, with a double ceramic butler sink and either freestanding or integrated appliances (appliances available by separate negotiation). The utility at the base of the bell tower matches the kitchen, and here there’s a ceramic Belfast sink and more storage.
