Main Street, Woodnewton

A period home with a vast amount of character and versatile internal accommodation. With a landscaped garden, two historic outbuildings and positioned in the heart of the village. Offered to the market with no onward chain.

PROPERTY
Formerly being the village shop and post office, the ground floor has a number of sympathetic nods to the property’s history. Double-fronted, open-plan living occupies the majority of the ground floor, with windows on two aspects which draw in a large amount of natural light. Original floor boards, exposed beams and an impressive inglenook fireplace are standout features, and a glazed door leads you to the rear terrace.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of Plain English shaker-style cabinetry topped with woodblock surfaces. There is ample space for appliances and a window and a stable door opening out to the garden.

The first floor landing is another characterful space, with exposed beams, deep-set leaded windows and bespoke cabinetry. Bedrooms one and two are both good sized double rooms, with bedroom four being a versatile single – all of which benefit from fitted wardrobes. The bathroom has Fired Earth fixtures including a feature roll-top bath, WC and tiling to all wet areas. There is a heated towel rail, separate shower enclosure and bespoke storage, with a window completing the space.

The second floor offers a deceptively spacious and versatile layout, with two characterful bedrooms displaying original floor boards, exposed beams and windows to the front aspect enjoying views over open countryside.

OUTSIDE
Thoughtfully landscaped with a huge amount of cottage charm, the garden is a wonderfully private area. The spacious patio is a great area for entertaining, and is directly connected to the rear of the house. Wrapping around the outbuildings is a lawn with mature planting and a variety of fruit trees.

There are two historical stone-built outbuildings. The wash house offers a useful vaulted space with a fireplace; previously used as a games room and summer-house, but also ideal for storage.

Beside it is a two-storey dovecote which appears in excellent condition. This is another versatile space – offering potential for the likes of a home office, workshop, gym, or simply additional storage.

LOCATION
The property is positioned in the heart of Woodnewton, being a short walk from a well-regarded pub and St. Mary’s Church. The village is surrounded by open countryside and is conveniently located approximately a 10-minute drive from the historic market town of Oundle.

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. It is the home of a weekly market and monthly farmers markets and the setting for many festivals throughout the year, see website ‘Love Oundle’. Oundle School has been located here for over 500 years, sharing amazing facilities with the town through membership, including a sports centre with a 50-metre swimming pool and theatre which doubles as a cinema.
