Charles Orlebar presents - Rural seclusion and privacy with over 11,000 square feet of accommodation built in the very attractive Northamptonshire ironstone and offering just over 5 acres of land/garden. Perfect for a large or extended family, ideal for a car enthusiast, this property could also offer equestrian potential if wanted given the acreage and layout of the rear garden. Originally a more modest farmhouse, the former cowsheds now house part of the indoor swimming pool area and changing rooms, this is a large family home which has been extended significantly by the current owners to provide the most spacious of properties in the most private of locations. Inside, the banqueting reception hall is simply stunning, with a mezzanine room set in one end of the vaulted ceiling. Lending itself to large dinner parties or possibly a wedding venue, this room alone takes your breath away with its fabulous feature fireplace. Between this very grand room and the party end of the house, there is a very private home office and a one bed annexe for an older relative or young adult. The far end is a space to satisfy the most enthusiastic of party goers! A party room complete with bar features open arches with windows looking into the indoor swimming pool on one side and double doors leading out to the rear garden on the other. The swimming pool area is large enough for a separate party and offers 2 changing room and showers, a hot tub and a sauna too! At the other end of the house is the more traditional living space, and this space is more than ample. From the very large kitchen family room with a huge island and windows over the side garden to the impressive dining room over looking both the side and rear garden, there is space for the largest of families to live here in harmony - with additional reception space provided by a snug area at one end of the entrance hall and a large drawing room overlooking the garden to the rear. Outside, there are two triple garages to house classic or sports cars, and space for more to one side if required. The rear garden is very private with an established tennis court in one section. There is plenty of space for children to play outside and anyone looking to set up an indoor arena and stables for horse would still have space for the family to enjoy the garden. Located within 3 miles of the M1 Junction 15 and within 4.5 miles of Northampton train station (55 minutes to London Euston) , and alternative train routes via Wellingborough and Milton Keynes.
Local private schools include Quinton House, Wellingborough School, and Northampton High School for Girls. The very sought after Northampton School for Boys is also only 5 minutes drive away as well. Local attractions include Salcey Forest, Harlestone Firs, Castle Ashby and Delapre Abbey to name but a few. Shopping can be found at Rusden Lakes, Bicester, Milton Keynes and Northampton.
