Description
Description
Despite its remarkable sense of seclusion, the property remains highly accessible, with excellent schooling, leisure facilities and everyday amenities nearby.
Set amid the rolling countryside of the Nene Valley, Coppice Lodge is positioned on a no-through lane, approximately a mile north west of the Conservation Village of Pilton, approximately 3.5 miles southwest of the market town of Oundle. Its picturesque setting is framed by open fields and woodland.
Oundle offers exceptional amenities, including independent shops, restaurants, supermarkets and schooling for all ages, including the renowned independent schools of Laxton Junior and Oundle School.
The A1 is around 10 miles to the east, while Peterborough is approximately 18 miles away. The city provides East Coast Main Line services to London King’s Cross, with journey times from 46 minutes.
The combination of a superb rural location, extensive outbuildings, land, privacy and a fully consented, design-led development opportunity creates a truly exceptional proposition, offering the chance to create a landmark country home tailored to individual requirements.
Equally, purchasers who favour period homes, may wish to renovate the existing late Edwardian house, which is constructed of attractive local limestone beneath a traditional Collyweston slate roof. Unlisted and outside a Conservation Area, the property has served as a farm cottage for many years, and now requires refurbishment and modernisation.
Approached via a private gated driveway from Bearshanks Lane, a rural no-through road, Coppice Lodge enjoys an enviable level of privacy, with the house positioned centrally within its land, near the southern boundary, with its wonderful views. Lawn gardens extend around the house, while a traditional farmyard incorporates basic stabling, machinery and Dutch barn stores, along with two substantial steel-framed agricultural barns. Beyond, are two paddock areas, creating an idyllic setting for small scale equestrian, lifestyle or smallholding interests.
The setting is superb. From its elevated position, the far-reaching rural views stretching across farm and woodland, taking in landmarks including the National Trust's Lyveden New Bield, along with the spires of Oundle in the distance.
Despite its remarkable sense of seclusion, the property remains highly accessible, with excellent schooling, leisure facilities and everyday amenities nearby.
In all, a highly unusual and compelling opportunity to create an outstanding contemporary country house in arguably one of East Northamptonshire's most attractive rural settings.
