Water Lane, Bradden, Towcester, Northamptonshire, NN12

This exceptional non-listed, 18th-century stone barn conversion is discreetly positioned at the end of a no-through road in the highly sought-after village of Bradden, just under four miles from the market town of Towcester. Offering over 2,200 sq ft of versatile accommodation, the property blends period character with contemporary living and is finished to a high standard throughout. With four bedrooms (and potential for a fifth), three bathrooms and generous reception space, it is ideally suited to family life and entertaining, complemented by a low-maintenance south-facing garden and immediate access to miles of beautiful countryside walks — the perfect balance of modern comfort and peaceful country living.

Designed with practical everyday living in mind, the welcoming entrance incorporates a generous boot room complete with a dog-washing area, ideal after muddy countryside walks. There is also space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, alongside a cloakroom.

The heart of the home is the stunning bespoke kitchen, featuring quartz worktops, an Insinkerator boiling water tap and waste disposal, a Rangemaster oven, American-style fridge/freezer, integrated dishwasher, space for a microwave within the island, and a large built-in pantry. This flows seamlessly into an impressive open-plan dining and sitting area, where a cosy log burner creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, ideal for modern family living and entertaining. The space is flooded with natural light and enhanced by exposed beams and French doors opening onto the garden.

A spacious hallway connects this principal living area to the remainder of the property. With an additional set of French doors and a desirable south-facing aspect, the current owners enjoy this space as a garden room — the perfect spot for morning coffee or evening drinks. Far more than just a hallway, it provides a relaxed additional living space. Completing the ground floor is a separate sitting room with log burner, a dedicated home office and a further WC, ensuring excellent flexibility for family life.

The first floor offers four well-proportioned bedrooms, including two en-suite shower rooms and a contemporary family bathroom, providing generous accommodation for both family life and visiting guests. The principal bedroom is a particularly impressive suite, featuring a dressing room, walk-in wardrobe and en-suite shower room. The dressing room also benefits from its own door to the hallway and could easily be adapted to create a fifth bedroom if required. Bedroom two enjoys its own en-suite shower room, while bedrooms three and four are served by the family bathroom.

Outside, the private south-facing garden is designed to be low maintenance and ideal for busy families, while enjoying direct access to miles of beautiful countryside walks from the front door — truly offering the best of both worlds. An open-fronted loggia, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, overlooks the garden and provides covered access to the double garage and workshop, particularly convenient in wet weather. Above the garage is a generous additional room, offering excellent flexibility as a second home office, games room or teenage retreat. The property is further complemented by gated driveway parking for up to four vehicles, along with a covered bin and log store.

This remarkable home presents a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful barn conversion in a peaceful village setting, combining historic charm with modern amenities and excellent connectivity to Towcester and beyond.
