Property description

A Grade II listed stone-built four bedroom detached property with an enclosed rear garden, an attached office and boiler room, a two-storey double garage and gated driveway, walking distance from amenities in the village of Flore.

The property dates back to 1770 and was a public house for many years until it was converted to a residential dwelling by the current owners in 2016. The property has been thoughtfully renovated and decorated, while retaining many original features throughout including exposed timbers, fireplaces and window shutters. There is approximately 2,862 sq. ft. of accommodation set over three floors which includes an entrance porch and inner hall with a cloakroom and stairs to the first floor. The ground floor has three reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, a utility/boot room with access to a shower room and cloakroom. On the first floor the principal bedroom has an en suite shower room. Two further double bedrooms share a bathroom which has a WC, a washbasin and a roll top bath with a shower attachment. The second floor has a landing/seating area, a bedroom, a dressing/media room, and a shower room. The office and boiler room is accessed via an external staircase.

Kitchen/Breakfast Room

The kitchen/breakfast room is open plan to the dual aspect dining room with a breakfast bar with a solid oak surface separating the areas. The kitchen is fitted with a range of Shaker style units, including glazed display cabinets and a plate rack, with granite worksurfaces and an inset Belfast sink with a mixer tap. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, fridge/freezer, a microwave and a range cooker with triple ovens, a warming drawer and a seven ring gas hob with extractor over.

Reception Rooms

The almost 30 ft. dual aspect sitting room has a feature brick fireplace fitted with a wood burning stove, original exposed timbers, a classic arched corner shelving unit and window seats. There is an opening to the dining room which is also dual aspect with tiled flooring which continues through to the kitchen. The garden room is accessed via a glazed and oak door from the sitting room and has views over the garden and French doors to the terrace.

Outside

An electrically operated five bar gate at the rear opens to a block paved driveway which provides parking for several cars and a turning circle. The detached two storey double garage provides additional parking with a boarded storage room above. The rear garden has a stone boundary wall and is laid to lawn bordered by established shrubs and trees. A paved terrace at the side of the house can be accessed from the garden room and has ample space for al fresco entertaining. There is outside lighting, a water supply, and a cellar which can be accessed via the garden only.

Situation and Schooling

The recently bypassed village of Flore is situated approximately 8 miles to the west of Northampton and has amenities including a post office, newsagent, a zero waste eco shop and café, a primary school, parish church and a public house. Secondary school children progress to Campion School in Bugbrooke and private schools in the area include Northampton School for Girls, Northampton School for Boys, Spratton Hall, Quinton House and Rugby.
