A unique barn conversion situated in a delightful village approximately 4 miles from Oundle, offering a tasteful blend of modern fixtures and period character features. Having been further improved since the original conversion in 2020, this stone-built property offers a great level of versatility and is surrounded by rolling Northamptonshire countryside. THE PROPERTY The inviting entrance hall, accessible from both the front and the parking area, connects to the dining kitchen, a reception room/bedroom suite, and a stylishly appointed cloakroom. Through a characterful archway, the kitchen features herringbone flooring, shaker-style cabinetry with contrasting marble worktops, integrated dishwasher, double electric ovens and induction hobs. French doors lead out to a paved terrace in the rear garden. The living room, with a striking feature fireplace, is dual-aspect, overlooking the courtyard and also opening onto the garden. Positioned off the hallway, a flexible space can function as a second reception room or ground-floor bedroom, which is complemented by an adjoining en-suite shower room fitted with premium fixtures. A standout feature is the vaulted first floor, where the landing, illuminated by a skylight and exposed timbers, leads to two generous double bedrooms and a beautifully finished bathroom with a four-piece suite and matching high-end fixtures as found downstairs. OUTSIDE Backing onto the cricket club, the garden is enclosed by post-and-rail and feather-board fencing, and is largely lawned with mature planting. A substantial timber outbuilding and an additional shed are included in the sale. Within the communal rear courtyard, two allocated parking spaces are positioned right next to the property. LOCATION Upper Benefield is a picturesque Northamptonshire village nestled in gently rolling countryside, offering a peaceful rural lifestyle with a strong sense of community. Surrounded by scenic walking routes and open farmland, the village combines traditional charm with convenient access to nearby market towns, main road links and rail connections. Oundle is a quintessentially English market town with a population of around 6,500, sitting amidst the rolling countryside of Northamptonshire’s picturesque Nene valley. Oundle’s centre is “a conservation area” which is a delight to walk around with remarkable Georgian and Jacobean architecture, idyllic riverside setting and St. Peters Church which has the tallest spire in Northamptonshire as a guide point. The town has a vibrant community feel and is well equipped with schools and services as well as independent shops, pubs and restaurants.
