Property description

An individual stone built three double bedroom barn conversion with a triple garage, a double carport and office, set in 2 acres of gardens and paddocks with equestrian potential.

The property has been owned by the vendors for 18 years and has undergone a “Grand Designs” style renovation and restoration using quality workmanship and bespoke fittings throughout, including cast column radiators, stone and oak flooring, oak joinery, a bespoke artisan kitchen in a Chalon style with an Aga cooker, Catchpole & Rye bathroom and sanitary ware throughout, and neutral décor with Farrow & Ball paints. The property has an excellent flow with a triple aspect over 25 ft. sitting room linked to the vaulted family room which has bi-fold doors and large roof windows for plenty of natural light. The property is on the edge of Hartwell village in a secluded location accessed via a long, gated driveway, but is less than a mile from amenities in the village centre and Salcey Forest is just 7 minutes’ drive or about 45 minutes’ walk away. M1 junction 15 is less than 10 minutes’ drive and mainline stations at both Milton Keynes and Northampton provide commuter trains.

Kitchen/Breakfast Room

The bespoke kitchen/breakfast room has a range of wall and base units, wood wall mounted cupboards and display cabinets with solid wood work surfaces, and a central island with cupboards and with a solid wood work top. There is a feature fireplace with an inset Aga and flagstone flooring continues into the breakfast area which has space for a table and chairs. The bespoke fitted utility room has space and plumbing for further appliances.

Principal Bedroom

The principal bedroom has a vaulted ceiling with exposed timber beams, and feature stonework walls. There are built-in wardrobes and a dressing area, and double doors opening to the Juliet balcony with views over the fields. The en suite bathroom has sanitary ware from Catchpole & Rye with a cast iron, stand-alone bateau bath on a raised wooden base, and a separate shower cubicle.

Outside

The re landscaped garden has stone walls, reclaimed flagstone paths and patio, and a gated, gravel courtyard. A stone outbuilding, with a vaulted oak framed roof, can be used as a home office or hobby room. The over 47ft. garage has three bays, a workshop, a 4 post car lift, LPG warehouse type heating, and electric shutters behind the double doors. A formal lawn merges into a small wood. Two adjacent grass paddocks, edged by mature hedges and stock proof fences, have potential for equestrian or hobby livestock use. A two bay, oak framed cart shed could converted to stables if required.

Situation and Schooling

The village of Hartwell has a parish church, the Rose and Crown public house, a community centre, a recreation ground, a village shop, incorporating a post office, and a Conservative Club. Just outside the village is Salcey Forest, an oasis of nature and history with a 5 mile cycle route and 6 mile horse riding trail. There is Hartwell C of E Primary school in the village, and Northampton High school for girls is approximately 12 miles and Northampton High school for boys is approximately 8.5 miles away.
