Delightful period village home with impressive walled garden.
Garden Cottage is a quintessential, but deceptively spacious detached cottage set in the popular south Northamptonshire village of Charlton. The Grade II listed property has been sensitively maintained and improved by the current owners, who have been there almost 25 years. This is a unique opportunity, offering well-presented accommodation with views and a wonderful walled garden.
An enclosed porch and tiles hallway lead into a charming, dual aspect sitting room with an array of character features, including an inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove, exposed beams and window seat. A useful study / snug provides extra space.
There is then a dual aspect dining room with tiled floor, wood burning stove and window seat. This leads into the kitchen, with fitted units, utility area and back door.
The first floor provides a well-proportioned, dual aspect principal bedroom with walk-in cupboard, a second dual aspect double bedroom with storage and a generous bathroom.
The second floor provides further double bedrooms with exposed beams and wooden floors. One of these includes a secured stable door providing enviable views across to open countryside. There is also a shower room on the second floor.
The impressive walled garden is south facing and landscaped to provide a wonderful oasis. It includes a terrace, ideal for alfresco dining, lawn, array of fruit trees, flower beds and vegetable beds.
The property also benefits from a gated gravel driveway and parking area with room for several cars and a timber garage /store.

I was immediately taken by this characterful home and its wonderful garden. I think Charlton is a great village, offering a relaxed rural lifestyle, whilst still so accessible to communication links.
