Sandy Lane, Church Brampton

A STUNNING FAMILY HOME IDEALLY SUITED FOR ENTERTAINING AND ENJOYING A PRIVATE POSITION IN THIS HIGHLY DESIRABLE VILLAGE

Originally dating back to the 1960's, Lauderdale has been thoughtfully transformed and significantly enhanced within the last fourteen years by the current owners, creating a versatile home ideally suited for modern 21st century living within mature grounds extending to over ¾ of an acre and in walking distance of the prestigious and renowned Northamptonshire County golf club.

The brief was to create a home ideally suited for entertaining and it does not disappoint. On stepping over the threshold, one gets the immediate impression of the thought, detail and execution that went into its transformation. The spacious reception hall provides the link to well-proportioned light and airy reception rooms and in the heart of the home lies the stunning kitchen/breakfast room with fine views and direct access onto the large south facing entertaining terrace. Complementing the house is the matching detached garage block which could easily be converted into a self-contained annexe for those discerning buyers looking for multi-generational living.

As with all individual homes, one can only fully appreciate the lifestyle opportunities on offer by making the commitment to step over the threshold.

The drawing room enjoys a double aspect with French doors opening onto the paved rear terrace and enjoys views over the drive and rear garden. The spacious modern kitchen/breakfast room runs along the rear of the house with French doors from the breakfast end opening onto the rear terrace as well. The bespoke Shaker kitchen is by Fraser James with matching island unit. The cream electric three ovened AGA with aims control has pride of place and additional integrated appliances include a fridge/freezer, drinks fridge and Bosch dishwasher. A door reveals the fully shelved walk in pantry and off the kitchen is the utility room which benefits from matching units and space to accommodate washing machine and dryer.

An inner hall leads through to the fitted home office; well proportioned dining room ideally suited for entertaining and the sitting room with Gazco gas fired woodburner. French doors also open to onto the rear entertaining terrace and finishing off the accommodation on this level is a very useful boot room/rear hall and cloakroom.
