Description

Mission Cottage is a charming character cottage, dating from the 1840's, siding onto The Green, in this popular village to the west of Northampton. The current owners have extended and refurbished the property to a high standard and the property is presented in excellent condition. The extension to the rear provides a spacious but cosy sitting room with wood burner and bay window overlooking the rear garden. There is planning permission to extend over the sitting room providing potential for further development in the future.

The accommodation includes an entrance porch with stable door to a spacious hallway, cloakroom/WC, study/family room, sitting room, refitted kitchen/breakfast room with built-in appliances and utility/boot room partly converted from the integral garage. There is a roomy first floor landing, large master bedroom with refitted ensuite shower room, three further first floor bedrooms and refitted bathroom with shower over the bath.

The property benefits from gas radiator heating and the windows have all been replaced by the current owners with quality double glazed units including character handles in keeping with the period of the property. Further benefits include wood flooring to the ground floor, oak latched doors and parking spaces for two cars. Outside, the property is approached from a private road and the cottage is perched on the edge of The Green.
