High StreetEydon, Daventry, Northamptonshire, NN11 3PP

Lying in a Conservation Area, 31 High Street is situated on the main street in the village with views to the front across the High Street and countryside beyond.

The house is of mixed age with a Georgian addition (date stone 1818) fronting an earlier cottage and (converted) stables.

Constructed of ironstone with part clay tile and part slate roofs, period features include open fireplaces, window seats, exposed timbers, exposed floorboards, pine panelling, exposed stone walling, various storage cupboards, stain glass window and a timber canopy.

The property was quite possibly two cottages and adjoining stables, all since adapted and converted to create one dwelling. Arranged over three floors there are two main staircases, indicative of the former split accommodation, thus allowing for versatile living particularly across the first floor.

There is plenty of scope to alter the internal layout to create a larger kitchen and breakfast room and improve the bath/shower rooms and modernise throughout. In addition, there is a lovely mezzanine gallery above the dining room, off which is a gallery room with hand basin. Note that the current staircase to this area does not comply with current Building Regulations.

Keys attributes include vaulted dining room with large fireplace; two wood burning stoves; generous ceiling heights and windows thereby a feeling of space and offering ample natural light; given its mixed age a lovely mixture of character.

The property enjoys a generous plot with a mainly walled garden (only boundary at far end of garden is not walled) predominately laid to grass with an orchard area. A raised stone terrace runs out from the kitchen ideal for entertaining. There is an area of hard standing to the front for several cars.

There are a number of brick outbuildings including garage/workshop, store and garden store, all offering potential for alteration/conversion, subject to the relevant consents.

In all about 0.26 acres.

The house offers just under 3,000 sq ft (GIA) of living accommodation and whilst in need of modernisation, will allow the buyer the opportunity to create their dream home, a home to stamp their identity on. Certainly, a rare gem.
