Property description

A Victorian five bedroom property with mature gardens, a garage, and ancillary rooms with annexe potential, situated on one of Northampton's most distinctive roads, and for sale with no upper chain.

The property was the former home of renowned local shoe factory owner, Sir James Crocker. It has approximately 4,264 sq. ft. of accommodation over four floors which includes a porch and an entrance hall which retains the original tessellated tiled floor and solid oak staircase with a stained glass picture window on the half landing. There is a kitchen/breakfast room and a sitting room with access to a garden room. Also on the ground floor is a boot room, a cloakroom, a utility room and stairs to the cellar. Two staircases lead to the upper floors. On the first floor the principal bedroom has a bay window to the side and an en suite bathroom. There are three further first floor bedrooms and a bathroom. On the second floor there is a further bedroom with a built-in wardrobe and a dressing room and there is a three piece bathroom. The property has secluded established gardens, and a sweeping gravel driveway leading to the house and the detached double garage and ancillary rooms.

Kitchen/Breakfast Room

The farmhouse style kitchen overlooks the garden and is fitted with a comprehensive range of units including pan drawers, display cabinets and wine storage. Tiled splashbacks and a combination of marble and solid wood work surfaces incorporate a fluted butler sink with a mixer tap and plate drying rack above. A central island provides additional storage and breakfast bar seating. A range cooker with an extractor over is set in a recess with windows and spice storage on either side.

The sitting room measures just under 26 ft. and has a floor to ceiling box bay window overlooking the garden, a decorative ceiling with a ceiling rose, and a Victorian fireplace with an open fire. There is a window and glazed double doors to the garden room which has tessellated tiled flooring, views over the garden and French doors to a covered terrace.
