Description
NO ONWARD CHAIN - In the heart of the highly regarded Northamptonshire village of Mears Ashby is The Cottage, Duchess End, a truly beautiful and deceptive five bedroom detached cottage offering character, space and charm.
Perfectly positioned between the market towns of Northampton and Wellingborough, the village offers an idyllic rural setting while remaining highly convenient for commuters, with excellent road links and direct rail services to London and beyond.
The property is entered through a delightful rose garden into a bright and welcoming hallway with characterful staircase and doors lead to the cellar, cloakroom, garden room/gym with an additional cloakroom beyond, and an impressive selection of attractive reception rooms.
The reception rooms include the snug/study, a cosy room with dual aspect and an open fire, the sitting room with wooden flooring, exposed beam, bay window with shutters and yet another open fire.
The third reception room is the dining room stunning flagstone floor and cast iron stove. From here you can enter the charming kitchen complete with bespoke cabinetry, granite worktops, butler sink and a large AGA that is beautifully set within an inglenook.
A second set of stairs lead up to the principal bedroom, door to the rear courtyard and another door into what was formerly the barn. The barn has been tastefully converted and now offers a practical utility room as well as a fantastic reception room with tall, vaulted ceilings and is currently being used as a large bar/garden room ideal for day to day relaxing but also brilliant for entertaining with its multiple glazed doors that open onto the garden.
The deceptive space continues upstairs with its light filled landing off which are the second bedroom with its own en-suite, another double bedroom and a nursery room. Beyond the third bedroom is the charming principal bedroom with exposed beams, wooden floor and door that takes you into a walk in wardrobe and an en-suite shower room.
Outside off the bar/garden room is a southerly facing landscaped garden with large private and sunken patio with glass topped well and space for hot tub. To the right is gravelled path with box heading and cottage garden plants to either side. To the left is a raised lawned area with mature bedded boarders at the end of which is a gravelled driveway and single garage with electronic gated access.
