The Property
Greystones is such a beautiful property, with a particularly long history. It’s over three centuries old, dating back to 1696 when it was built for the Rector of St Mary’s Church just up the road. The home was remodelled in Victorian times and has been updated in more recent years – without losing its original charm and quirkiness.

There are no beige carpets or magnolia walls here. From the moment you walk in, the cottage is crammed with character, including an incredible inglenook fireplace, exposed beams and stonework, wall panelling and brick flooring, and oak internal doors and a stable door. Unexpected at a character property, Greystones has high ceilings and double glazing – and it’s unlisted.

The space at Greystones is also unexpected. The accommodation surpasses 1,250sqft, and each room is a great size. Even the entrance hall is large, with plenty of built-in storage to keep it clear of coats and shoes. Off the entrance hall are the cloakroom and shower room, both in a timeless Victorian style and with monochrome and metro tiling. The shower room has a utility area, which has an alcove for a washing machine and a tumble dryer.

The living accommodation at Greystones is light and spacious, yet with a proper cosy feel – the lounge especially so. Imagine Christmas Day here, warm by the inglenook fireplace with a mulled wine in hand, little ones opening presents excitedly on the wooden floor, winter sun seeping in through the wide window.

Via steps from the lounge is the kitchen. While this is the most modern part of the home, the design is in keeping with the property’s character, with sage-green Shaker cabinetry, wood-effect surfacing and flooring, and brick-effect splashbacks. There’s also a Belling range, an integrated fridge/freezer, a Blanco sink and drainer, plus an understairs area perfect for a coffee-making station. The room is large enough for a dining table (or a breakfast bar/island as the owners have here), creating a heart of the home for a family.

One of the three bedrooms is up stairs from the kitchen. This could well be extra living space instead, perhaps an office. There’s a door into the loft, where there’s possibility (stp) to convert into further accommodation if needed. The remaining two bedrooms are on the other side of the house. The principal features a full-length library wall, as well as a walk-in wardrobe, which may have the potential to become an en suite…

The Plot
Greystones is tucked away on a private gated plot, secluded from the road by mature trees. To the front of the house is a gravel driveway providing parking for multiple cars.

The property has garden to three sides, set over two tiers. The lower terrace from the kitchen is ideal for al fresco dining (the current owners considered constructing an orangery dining room here to make the most of its connection to the kitchen), while the upper tier has a pebbled area for further seating options. Also on the upper tier is a generous lawn and mature beds.

Behind the house is a courtyard area currently used for storage. Further storage is available to brick-built coal sheds and a large timber shed. The timber shed is a practical outbuilding you could use as a workshop, while the summerhouse is perfect for outdoor entertaining even in wind and rain.

The Position
Greystones may feel like it’s in the Cotswolds, but it’s actually just a short walk from the centre of Rushden. When the house was built, this Northamptonshire town was a small rural village. Today, it’s a vibrant location popular with families.

The property is well positioned for shops, schools and parks, including 34-acre Hall Park only 600m from the front door. The various local green spaces are great for getting some fresh air and walking the dog, while nearby countryside, forests, lakes and the river present scenic strolls.

Alongside daily conveniences right on the doorstep, Greystones is within easy reach of all Rushden has to offer, from big-name brands and large supermarkets, to independent pubs, cafés and restaurants. The town centre also has gyms, sports facilities and a swimming pool. Rushden Lakes is a 10-minute drive from the address, where you’ll find a broad range of retail, restaurants and entertainment.

The county towns of Northampton and Bedford are a 20-minute drive from Greystones, Milton Keynes city centre is 40 minutes away, and you can be in London by rail in as little as 44 minutes from Wellingborough station, just 15 minutes away.
