Avenue Road, Rushden, NN10 0SJ

An exceptional opportunity to acquire two individually designed detached homes, occupying an impressive private setting extending to approximately 4.7 acres.
84 and 84A Avenue Road were designed and constructed by the current owners in 2019 for their own family occupation. Drawing upon more than 54 years of experience within the construction industry, considerable attention was given not simply to appearance, but to the integrity, comfort, longevity and efficiency of the buildings.

The result is two beautifully considered three-bedroom homes offering an unusually high standard of construction, together with extensive landscaped gardens, approximately 4.2 acres of paddocks, garaging, equestrian facilities and highly versatile ancillary accommodation.
For families looking to live alongside one another whilst retaining independence, the arrangement is particularly compelling. Equally, the combination of two separate homes, land and outbuildings creates a lifestyle opportunity that is extremely difficult to replicate.

The Homes
Both properties have been designed around comfortable modern living, with generous accommodation and aluminium windows and bi-folding doors creating a natural connection between the interiors and surrounding grounds.
Behind the contemporary finish is a particularly impressive construction specification.
Built using traditional brick and block construction, the homes incorporate fully insulated 150mm cavity walls, concrete ground floors and reinforced concrete first floors. The latter were specifically chosen to minimise vibration and improve sound insulation between the floors.
Reinforced concrete staircases provide a similarly substantial feel, eliminating the movement and creaking often associated with more conventional staircase construction, while acoustic floor and ceiling construction further reduces noise transmission between levels.
It is a level of consideration that reflects the fact these properties were never constructed simply for resale; they were created by experienced construction professionals as long-term homes for their own family.

Heating & Energy Efficiency
Comfort and efficiency were integral to the original design.
Both properties benefit from wet underfloor heating throughout, with individual room thermostats allowing temperatures to be independently controlled. Combined with the highly insulated construction, this creates an efficient and comfortable environment throughout the seasons.
Approximately 12kW of solar PV serves the properties, of which approximately 4kW remains on the original Feed-in Tariff, providing a valuable annual income.
The owners advise that, historically, the Feed-in Tariff income attributable to 84A has covered its annual electricity and gas costs under normal occupancy.

Gardens & Grounds
The setting is one of the defining features of this remarkable offering.
The properties occupy approximately 4.7 acres in total, comprising around half an acre of beautifully landscaped formal gardens and approximately 4.2 acres of paddocks with Planning Permission for a Menage.
Electric entrance gates provide an impressive sense of arrival, opening onto extensive concrete-paved driveways and pathways continuing towards the stable yard. Secondary gates further along the driveway provide additional separation between the residential and ancillary areas.
The grounds have been thoughtfully equipped with external power points and water supplies, while a purpose-built rainwater harvesting well collects water from the roofs for use in garden irrigation.
Together, the formal gardens and adjoining paddocks create an appealing balance between landscaped outdoor living and open space, with obvious appeal for those with equestrian or country lifestyle interests.

Stables, Workshop & Ancillary Accommodation
A substantial brick and block stable complex further distinguishes the property and incorporates stables, a tack room and workshop.
In addition, there is a fully constructed ancillary room currently utilised as an office and fourth bedroom. Finished to a particularly useful standard, it incorporates underfloor heating, a shower room, WC, wash basin, storage and mains services.
This creates an excellent degree of flexibility for those working from home, accommodating guests or requiring space for hobbies and other uses, subject to any necessary consents.
Internet connectivity has also been extended beyond the houses into the principal outbuildings, including the office/stable complex.

Garaging & Parking
Both homes enjoy their own garaging and generous parking provision.
No. 84 benefits from a double garage with an EV charging point and Wi-Fi connectivity, while No. 84A has a single garage and its own EV charging point.
The extensive paved driveway provides substantial additional parking and continues through the grounds towards the stable complex.

A Rare Lifestyle Opportunity
What makes 84 and 84A Avenue Road particularly special is not one individual feature, but the combination they provide.
Two separate three-bedroom detached homes allow different generations of a family to live alongside one another whilst retaining their own independence and privacy.
Add to this approximately 4.7 acres, paddocks, equestrian facilities, workshops, ancillary accommodation and an exceptional underlying construction specification, and the result is a proposition quite unlike the conventional modern home.
Whether sought for multi-generational living, equestrian interests, home working or simply the freedom afforded by owning two homes and land within one setting, 84 and 84A Avenue Road represent an exceptionally rare opportunity.

Location
