Location:

Farthingstone is a picturesque village situated on the brow of a hill and surrounded by delightful Northamptonshire countryside.

Located in the centre of the village is The Joy Mead, an open space bequeathed to the villagers by the Agnew family. It contains immaculately maintained and beautiful gardens together with a poignant cloister area beneath a Collyweston slate roof to serve as a war memorial.

The local pub, The Kings Arms, is a free house and attracts many visitors who delight both in the secret garden and the fantastic real ales and fine foods.

Situated equidistant between the market towns of Towcester and Daventry, Farthingstone is less than a 40-minute commute to Milton Keynes where further facilities are available as well as Milton Keynes Central Railway with direct and frequent trains to London Euston. The main arterial roads of the M1 and M40 are also within easy reach.

Property Details:

The approved design is for a modern, detached property featuring three double en-suite bedrooms, encompassing 2,185 sq.ft. The main living areas are located on the first floor to maximise the stunning countryside views and to allow garden access due to the site's slope.
The layout includes a sitting room with a balcony and stairs to the ground floor, and a kitchen/family/dining room with a balcony. The ground floor will house the three double en-suite bedrooms, a cloakroom, utility room, and access to the integral double garage.

Planning Permission Details:

The Outline Planning permission requires that an application for approval of all reserved matters be made to the Local Planning Authority before the expiration of three years from the date of this permission. The development must commence either before the expiration of five years from the date of this permission or before the expiration of two years from the date of approval of the last reserved matters, whichever is later.

No development shall take place until a programme of archaeological work has been implemented in accordance with a written scheme of investigation approved by the Planning Authority.

Any dwelling with a garage or driveway must be equipped with electric charging equipment of AC Level 2 (or equipment providing for no lesser standard of efficiency).

No further enlargement, alteration, or improvement of the dwelling house shall be undertaken without prior planning permission from the Local Planning Authority.

No building or structure (other than oil or LPG storage tanks) shall be erected or placed within the curtilage of the dwellings without prior planning permission.

Professional Photography

Creating the best first impression of your home is essential in order to achieve a quick sale. At David Cosby Estate Agents, we use a professional property photographer to present your home, producing images that will induce a 'show-home' appeal.

Every property has its own individual features, whether from an architectural perspective, soft furnishings or beautifully maintained gardens and these will be highlighted to their best potential to provide purchasers with a personal insight of your home.

Floor Plans

Floor plans are an important aspect when it comes to providing a comprehensive set of property particulars. Potential purchasers find them useful as a guide to a property's layout. They give an insight into the functionality of the property and help to rationalise, fit-out and accommodate the rooms.

David Cosby Estate Agents prepare floor plans using the latest laser scanners. They are show clearly defined rooms, annotated with sizes and including features such as sanitary appliances and kitchen units.

3D Virtual Tours (Matterport)

As standard on all of our properties, David Cosby Estate Agents provide 3D Virtual Matterport Tours. This is a wonderful visual tool that creates 'an always-open house' allowing potential purchasers a high-fidelity tour of your property that will be perfectly staged 100% of the time. It even enables the viewer to take dimensions - critical for planning their new furniture layouts!

EPC

Unless your home is a Listed Building, an EPC is a legal requirement when it comes to marketing your property and is undertaken by our Domestic Energy Assessor.

Energy consumption will likely be one of the biggest financial impacts over the course of your home's lifetime, particularly with energy costs seemingly going up all the time. An EPC can therefore be an important aspect for a potential purchaser when it comes to their property search.
