Rushden, Buntingford, SG9

Blarney Hollow is a quintessentially English thatched house steeped in history that enjoys a peaceful location, set in the heart of the idyllic village of Rushden, next to St Marys Church with the backdrop of mature trees behind, put simply the location is stunning. Blarney Hollow was built in the 17th century with a distinctive eyebrow thatch, the house was then extended in the 20th century to provide a home with a flexible layout. Blarney Hollow gets its name from a Mr Charmers who named it after his wife who ran an orange grove in Barcelona and there used to be a parrot that used to sit on the gate and talked to passersby.

As you walk through this house you absorb its history with virtually each room telling a different story and each with a wealth of charm and character with exposed beams, leaded lights, timber plank doors and the beautiful inglenook style fireplace and hearth; just imagine a fire roaring away and toasting crumpets. On the ground floor we have three reception rooms, a kitchen breakfast room, upstairs two bedrooms and a bathroom plus a small en-suite shower. The house was owned by an elderly couple, and they used the landing as a bedroom and one of the reception rooms could provide an additional bedroom.

The property has a generous rear private garden and Blarney Hollow sits within a generous plot of approximately 0.15 of an acre, the garden is beautiful with the backdrop of mature trees, it really is a rather delightful setting and from here you have a view of St Marys Church. The property has the benefit of a large garage and separate workshop that could be easily converted to home office.
