An attractive Victorian house with parking and a garage, enjoying beautiful gardens, and set within walking distance of Market Place and the schools.


Jasmine Cottage is a delightful, detached, Victorian house, dating from 1880. This handsome home offers versatile accommodation set over two floors and offering many attractive features.

The front elevation faces south and therefore the elegant reception rooms and bedrooms, which have high ceilings, are flooded with light. A conservatory has been added to the rear, bringing the beautiful garden into the home. The property has been extended, adding a sizeable utility room and a shower room / WC. The house has been a happy family home for many years and is now ready for new, discerning custodians to enjoy it as it is, or take it to another level.

The front porch opens to main door which in turn opens to the hall. To the left is the dining room, which has a bay window to the south. The fireplace has been blocked but the breast is still in situ, beside which are cupboards and original shelving.

The sitting room is across the hall and it too, has a bay window to the front. The original fireplace is in situ and cupboards and shelving are fitted either side. The family room is at the back of the house and has a fireplace with living flame gas insert. A pair of doors open to the conservatory, which is a quality, timber addition to the house with a beautiful outlook over the garden. It is heated and offers year-round use. A door leads from here into the utility room, which as space for the usual appliances. Adjacent is the shower room / WC. The garage can also be accessed from the utility room.

The kitchen is also at the back of the house and has a view down the garden. A door opens to the patio. A range of wall and base units have been fitted and offer worksurfaces with inset sink. There is a gas cooker, an integrated dishwasher and a fridge.

Stairs lead from the hall to the landing which has a window to the front giving a view over the roof tops towards the Nene valley. There are two beautiful bedrooms enjoying the southerly view from their bay windows. A third double bedroom is set at the back of the house and has a view along the garden. The bathroom is of sufficient size to be split in order to create an ensuite for one of the bedrooms. The loft space is accessed from the landing via a drop-down ladder. There would appear to be ample room within, for a conversion.

The gardens are a wonderful and full of colour at different times of the year. The front garden has a central path leading to the porch. Small lawns stand either side and are surrounded by rose and lavender beds. The drive is to the side and provides parking in front of the garage. The rear garden is a private haven with a patio leading from the conservatory, on to the lawn, which is surrounded by beautifully stocked flower and shrub beds. The garden is a good length and captures the sunshine throughout the day. It is enclosed by fencing.
