CHARACTER MATURE DETACHED FAMILY HOME WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF THE HIGHLY REGARDED ABINGTON PARK OFFERING SPACIOUS ACCOMMODATION OVER THREE FLOORS WITH ENCLOSED GARDENS
This attractive detached family home occupies a lovely position on Woodland Avenue, just off the Wellingborough Road and only a short distance from the highly regarded Abington Park. Full of character and offering generous accommodation arranged over three floors, the property also enjoys a good sized rear garden and is offered for sale with no onward chain, having been in the same ownership for the past 27 years.
Stepping inside, there is an immediate sense of the character that runs throughout the house, with panelled walls, picture rails and wood flooring to the entrance hall. The staircase rises and turns to the first floor, with useful storage beneath, while there is also a ground floor cloakroom and a generous cloaks cupboard.
The sitting room is positioned at the front of the house and has a bay window, period coving and picture rails. A central fireplace with inset gas fire provides the focal point, complemented by wood flooring. There is a separate family room with a window to the side and built-in storage, a versatile space which would work equally well as a study or home office.
Without doubt, one of the highlights of the house is the large kitchen/dining/family room which stretches across the rear. It is a wonderfully sociable space, with a bay window and double doors opening directly onto the garden. Timber ceiling beams and a period-style fireplace with an open fire give the room plenty of warmth and character. The kitchen itself is fitted with a range of base and eye-level cabinetry, timber work surfaces and integrated appliances, together with a central breakfast island. From here there is access to a separate utility room.
The spacious split level landing gives access to four bedrooms and has two useful storage cupboards. The main bedroom sits at the rear of the house, with a bay window overlooking the garden and a walk-in cupboard. Its en-suite bathroom is particularly generous, with a roll-top bath, walk-in double shower and WC. There are three further bedrooms on this floor, together with the family bathroom.
The second floor provides a fifth bedroom, with Velux windows bringing in plenty of natural light and useful storage within the eaves.
OUTSIDE
Off road parking for several vehicles leading to an attached garage with double doors with light and power connected. Courtesy door leading to the rear garden. The rear garden is laid to lawn with raised flower and shrub borders, maturing trees, good sized patio area with gated side access providing access to the front. There is a feature stone monument from Northampton Castle at the rear of the garden giving the garden sense of history.
