Property for sale in Northampton NN7, 5 Bedroom

The main entrance to the house lies through a striking red brick arch vestibule seating area, with unique architectural features such as the ornate reclaimed double glazed mahogany windows and double doors leading the way onto a generous travertine floor hallway. Full width-spanning ground floor rooms provide for a spacious feel throughout. The property, facing due south, includes: Additional height engineering workshop; double garage utility, land circa 4 acres and a discrete, high specification 4 room stable block, similarly incorporating block and beam design at first floor level. Due to its specification, this would easily convert (subject to planning permission) and provide additional office space or accommodation. Beyond this, direct access to sweeping, rolling countryside via bridleway running Northeast of the boundary, paves the way for congenial walks, rides or leisure activities. The house has been converted to a high standard, inc. New roofs; particular attention has been paid to its eco-friendly additions. By way of illustration, 100mm under floor insulation throughout the ground floors and the wider-than-standard, 150mm+ wall cavities to the main house filled with fibre insulation. These, combined with high-calibre roof insulation, low wattage led lights, 28 mm pvcu sealed double glazing, means the energy efficiency specification rises well above those of similar properties of this size and character, minimising running costs and it’s carbon footprint. Later eco additions include the dry lining of some internal North facing walls and window cheeks with high grade 22 mm thermal board, further preventing any cold bridge between inside and outside walls and are likely to have improved further the already impressive C rating EPC.
