Moor Cottages, Nags Head Lane, Hargrave, Wellingborough

This is a excellent opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented three-bedroom period cottage, occupying a semi-rural position on the edge of the sought-after Northamptonshire village of Hargrave. With open countryside close by, generous off-road parking and a particularly good-sized rear garden, the property offers plenty of character alongside the benefits of an extensive programme of refurbishment carried out in recent years.

The cottage has undergone significant improvements, including rewiring, a refitted country-style kitchen and updated bathrooms. The accommodation is arranged over two floors, with two reception rooms, a spacious kitchen/dining room, three bedrooms and the benefit of both a family bathroom and en suite shower room.

Set back from Nags Head Lane along a small private lane, the cottage enjoys a peaceful position on the outskirts of the village, with attractive countryside surroundings and convenient access to the nearby towns of Raunds, Rushden and Thrapston.

Ground Floor

The accommodation comprises; an entrance hall, with stairs rising to the first floor and a door opening into the main living room.

Positioned at the front of the cottage, the living room is a comfortable reception room with a feature fireplace and electric fire. A window overlooks the front of the property, while a doorway leads through to a second reception room.

This additional room provides useful flexibility and could work equally well as a snug, playroom, separate dining room or home office. There is also a useful understairs storage cupboard, with access through to both the kitchen/dining room and ground-floor bathroom.

The kitchen/dining room is a particularly attractive part of the house, extending to approximately 17 ft in length and enjoying views across the rear garden. Refitted with traditional Shaker-style cabinetry in a soft grey finish, the kitchen features solid oak worktops, tiled splashbacks, an integrated oven and hob, and space for further appliances.

There is plenty of room for a family dining table, while windows to the side and rear bring natural light into the room. A glazed door provides direct access to the rear garden.

Completing the ground floor is the family bathroom, fitted with a white suite comprising a bath with shower over, wash basin and WC.

First Floor

Upstairs, the landing provides access to three bedrooms.

The master bedroom is positioned at the front of the cottage and retains an attractive feature fireplace with display shelving, together with built-in storage. It also benefits from its own en suite shower room.

There are two further bedrooms overlooking the rear of the property, one of which incorporates a useful built-in storage cupboard.

Outside

The outside space is a particularly appealing feature of Moor Cottages, with generous parking to the front and a substantial rear garden offering plenty of opportunities.

To the front, a gravelled driveway provides off-road parking, with established hedging and fencing defining the boundaries. A paved pathway leads to the cottage entrance.

The rear garden is an excellent size, extending away from the house and enjoying a good degree of privacy. A raised timber deck provides an ideal space for outdoor dining and seating, while the remainder of the garden offers plenty of scope for gardening, entertaining or family use.

A pathway runs through the garden towards the rear boundary, where there is the additional benefit of vehicular access for further parking.
