Hardwater Road, Great Doddington

ICONIC DETACHED PERIOD PROPERTY STANDING IN 0.91 ACRES OF BEAUTIFULLY LANDSCAPED GARDENS WITH SEPARATE SELF-CONTAINED ANNEXE AND FABULOUS FAR REACHING VIEWS ACROSS THE NENE VALLEY

Deep Thatch is a charming and distinctive individual period home, originally constructed in 1967. Finished in white render with exposed stone detailing beneath a traditional reed thatched roof, the property is full of character and warmth. Features such as solid oak carpentry and internal doors reflect the craftsmanship of its era, making this a truly special home. A standout feature for modern living is the separate detached annexe, ideal for multi-generational family use. Having been a much loved family home for the past 46 years, the property is now offered to the market with no onward chain.

On entering, you are welcomed by a generous hallway featuring oak panelling, a staircase with matching detailing, a central ceiling beam and access to all principal reception rooms. To the front of the property is a spacious sitting room with a leaded picture window enjoying pleasant southerly views. A striking inglenook-style fireplace with stone detailing and an inset gas fire forms an attractive focal point. The family room is particularly generous in size and offers a more contemporary feel, complete with timber flooring and access to a cloakroom/shower room. From here, the accommodation flows through a useful utility area into the garden room, which provides direct access to the rear gardens. The kitchen is well appointed with a range of base and eye level units, complementary work surfaces, an inset sink and integrated appliances. Adjoining this space is a breakfast room with twin casement windows overlooking the rear garden, a feature brick alcove, and access to a rear boot room with a gardeners’ W.C. The dining room is a lovely dual aspect space featuring a front facing box bay window and French doors opening onto the gardens. Additional highlights include oak flooring, exposed ceiling timbers, and convenient access back to both the hallway and kitchen. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a useful study positioned at the front of the home.

To the first floor is a spacious landing which gives access to all principal rooms with the main bedroom being a particularly good size, formerly being two separate bedrooms converted into one. There are two further double bedrooms, one of which has an en suite shower room to complete the accommodation on this floor is the family bathroom.
