Mill Road, Oundle, Northamptonshire, PE8

The Property

Constructed of local limestone beneath a Collyweston slate roof, this delightful Grade II Listed stone cottage dates from the late 1600s and retains much of its original charm and character. It is a lovely example of a traditional cottage, with exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace and plenty of atmosphere throughout.

The main entrance opens into the charming kitchen/breakfast room, which provides plenty of space for family meals and more formal occasions. The kitchen is fitted with traditional Shaker-style wooden units, together with a built-in oven and hob with extractor hood above. There is space and plumbing for the usual washing machine.

From the kitchen, a door leads through to the inner hall, with access to the sitting room, downstairs shower room and the garden via a useful stable door.

The sitting room is a particularly characterful and atmospheric room, centred around a wonderful inglenook fireplace which creates a cosy focal point. Exposed beams add further warmth and character, while the staircase rises to the first floor.

Upstairs, the landing has a window overlooking the the garden and a large cupboard providing useful storage. There are two good-sized double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly generous, with attractive sloping ceilings adding to its character, and a front-facing window. The second bedroom is also a comfortable double room, with exposed heavy timber joinery adding to its traditional feel.

Outside, the property has a generous and attractive garden, with a lower patio providing a lovely spot for outdoor seating and entertaining. Steps lead up to a good-sized lawn, beautifully framed by established flower beds and planting. A garden shed provides useful storage, while the overall garden offers a lovely degree of space and privacy.

This is a charming period cottage with genuine character and a lovely sense of history, combined with practical accommodation and a surprisingly generous garden.
