Charming village cottage and gardens.
Orchard cottage is a wonderful detached village home of early 20th century origins situated on the outskirts of Thenford.
Surrounded by uninterrupted countryside views, the cottage encapsulates traditional village living.
Upon entering the house, you are greeted by a sizeable conservatory, leading through to the dining room. Light and spacious, a perfect set up for entertaining. Connecting doors lead to both the sitting room and to the kitchen/ breakfast room. The kitchen is charming and has great views from the rear aspect. It hosts a 5 ring Falcon hob and oven, and plenty of useful storage space including under cupboard pull out corners. There is also a utility room with space for washer/ dryer and fridges and freezers. Housing the boiler is a boot room handy for footwear and coats.
The sitting room is lovely and cosy, fitted with a working fireplace, ideal for a winter's evening. There is also a door which lead out to the patio on the garden side of the property.
Orchard cottage also boasts another reception room. Originally the double garage, this room has now been converted to a family room. It even has potential to be a further bedroom with a Jack and Jill bathroom connected.
There is a secondary staircase leading to another room, currently being used as an office/ study, ideal if you are working from home but this could easily be suitable for another bedroom if needed.
The main staircase leads to two further bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from an en suite shower room and inbuilt wardrobes and the second bedroom is of very generous size. Also on this floor is the family bathroom. All bathrooms in the property have tiled, heated floors and all bedrooms have wonderful views of the Northamptonshire countryside.
Outside, time and care has been put into the beautifully tranquil garden. Enclosed and level, there are an array of things to admire including a pond filled with fish, apple and fig trees, raised vegetable beds, fruit patches, mature trees and hedges. There is also a terrace area with a powered awning to help protect from the south facing sun and a great space for entertaining. There is a range of outside storage including a summerhouse, greenhouse and shed, and also a stone and brick outbuilding with power. Additional advantages include a private gravelled driveway and off road parking to the front.
