Abington Park Crescent, Northampton, NN3

SUBSTANTIAL PERIOD CHARACTER PROPERTY STANDING IN A CONSERVATION AREA OVERLOOKING ABINGTON PARK WITH ENCHANTING WALLED GARDENS IN EXCESS OF 150 FT

Simpson House is a striking 1930s built family home, positioned in a prime location directly opposite Abington Park, with charming walled gardens at the rear. Much of the property's original period character has been preserved, while the current owners have thoughtfully extended the home, creating a superb open plan kitchen and family room.

Upon entering through a glazed paneled front door, the hallway features a tiled floor, leading to a reception hall with a striking oak strip floor and a staircase ascending to the first floor. Beneath the stairs, you'll find access to a useful cellar. The front elevation is adorned with leaded stained glass windows, and there is an additional leaded light window to the side. Access from here to sitting room which is a generously proportioned room boasting high, corniced ceilings, picture rails and a central fireplace with a period surround and an inset wood burning stove. A four pane bay window allows light to flood the room, with a glazed door opening to the rear gardens and beautiful engineered timber flooring.

To the front of the property is another spacious reception room, currently used as a dining room, featuring a five pane bay window with leaded fanlights, offering views of the park. The room also benefits from tall, corniced ceilings, picture rails and a central fireplace with a wood burning insert.

A particular highlight of the home is the open plan kitchen/family room, which has been extended over previous years. The kitchen area is well equipped with a range of base and eye level cupboards, integrated appliances and Corian worktops. French doors lead to the patio, and the room is enhanced by an inset lantern roof, allowing natural light to pour in. Adjacent to the kitchen is a practical utility room with plumbing for a washing machine, a side-facing window, and a door providing access to the side garden. A cloakroom is also accessible from this area.

On the first floor, a landing provides access to the staircase leading to the second floor and features a charming leaded window. The master bedroom enjoys a bay window with views over the rear garden, complemented by a range of fitted wardrobes and direct access to a Jack and Jill style, newly refitted four piece bathroom. To the front of the property, a double bedroom boasts a bay window with views over the park, as well as an ornamental central fireplace. A further double bedroom, also overlooking the front, completes the accommodation on this floor.

The second floor landing opens to three additional bedrooms and a recently refitted shower room. The property benefits from gas radiator central heating and partial double glazing throughout.
