The Property
Milford House is a majestic Victorian semi-detached property with a timeless appeal, set on a sought after, leafy road close to the centre of Kettering. Dating to the late 1800’s, this impressive home offers ample space in its current form, with much potential subject to the necessary planning consents. It presents wonderfully retained original features such as deep skirting boards, picture rails, high ceilings, and tall sash windows which accentuate the garden views. Entered from the private driveway via steps into the entrance vestibule, is the welcoming reception hallway with its grand staircase and doors radiating to each of the reception rooms. The dining room with its beautiful bay window features an open fireplace with marble surround and the sitting room enjoys much character with its dual aspect with the warmth of an open fire. There is a well-equipped kitchen and adjoining breakfast room with a large picture window with elevated views of the garden. Furthermore, to the ground floor is a guest cloakroom, useful utility/ boot room and access to the cellar.

To the first floor the well-proportioned bedrooms radiate from the large landing with the eye particularly drawn to the exquisite stained glass window and curved wall. There is a large principal bedroom with a beautiful bay window to the front. There are three further generous double bedrooms and a single room/ study. A shower room, separate family bathroom and linen cupboard complete the first floor. A secondary staircase allows alternative access from the first floor to the rear entrance lobby.

Outside
To the front of the house, a block paved driveway leads from the walled entrance to the handsome entrance porch. Parking is in front of the house and the garage. There are terraces across the back of the house, ideal for entertaining with easy access to the kitchen/ breakfast room. The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn with mature trees and shrubs to the perimeter creating a very private haven within such a central location. The borders to the perimeter offer year-round interest and are enclosed in the main by brick walling. In all, the plot overall extends to approximately ¼ acre.
