Description 

An attractive Grade II listed village house in the popular village of Hellidon, with beautifully maintained gardens and fabulous countryside views.  

The Cottage has been a much-loved family home for over 50 years, and has been maintained to a good standard throughout.  However, it would now benefit from some further updating and modernising with the potential for further extension into the attic space (subject to planning).  It would make a very special family home to be lived in and enjoyed for many years. 

The entrance hall leads to the sitting room, with ceiling beams and an open fireplace.  The dining room has window seats and an open fireplace.  The rear hall gives access to the kitchen, with a useful pantry.  Adjacent to it is a utility/boot room giving access to the garden.  Completing the ground floor is a cloakroom/wc.   

On the first floor there are four bedrooms. The master is particularly light and airy and overlooks the gardens.  There is also a family bathroom.  

The attic room is accessed by a drop-down loft ladder, has a window and offers potential for conversion into additional accommodation, subject to necessary planning. 

Gardens & Grounds

The mainly lawned gardens are a very special feature of the property.  They are very well maintained, and include lawned areas, with mature borders and beds, and trees and shrubs to provide a peaceful rural haven in which to relax and entertain.  The rolling Northamptonshire countryside beyond gives uninterrupted views over the Shuckburgh Valley.
