Upper Heyford, Northamptonshire, NN7

A DETACHED HOUSE BENEFITTING FROM RURAL VIEWS WITH PERMISSION FOR A REPLACEMENT DWELLING WITH LAND TOTALLING 4.75 ACRES

The house dates back to 1960 and was a bespoke build by WJ Denny & Son of Nether Heyford. The property enjoys an elevated position with stunning far reaching southerly views across its own paddock and out over the Nene Valley beyond.

The Close offers well-presented comfortable accommodation over two floors and it is very evident on inspection that it offers great potential to extend. In addition the current owners have secured planning permission to demolish the exiting property and replace with a five bedroomed two storey detached dwelling with habitable loft with associated landscaping and driveway works.

The planning has been granted by West Northamptonshire Council under application number 2023/6817/FULL subject to 23 conditions and a copy of the permission and associated plans are available on the council planning portal website or via ourselves as selling agents.

The reception hall is centrally located with both sitting room and dining room enjoying a double aspect and having working fireplaces. Running along the front of the house is a south facing conservatory with elevated views over the paddock and rolling countryside beyond.

The kitchen/breakfast room benefits from cream painted original handmade bespoke wooden base and eye level units offering generous storage and appliances include freestanding electric cooker and dishwasher. The good size pantry lies beyond with fitted storage shelving and space for both fridge and freezer. The pantry could easily be incorporated to create a larger kitchen if required. The back door opens into the rear hall which doubles up as a boot room and allowing access to the reception hall running through the middle of the house. The utility room with enamel Belfast sink has plumbing for washing machine and dryer. A Shelia maid hangs from the ceiling and in the corner is a cloakroom.

FIRST FLOOR
The landing is centrally located with all bedrooms radiating off along with access to heated airing cupboard and loft hatch. Two of the three double bedrooms enjoy great rural views across the field. All bedrooms benefit from original bespoke full height fitted wardrobes and all bedrooms are served by the recently refurbished bathroom with wall mounted Mira shower and glazed shower screen above. A retractable ladder drops down allowing access to the part boarded loft.

OUTSIDE
The gravelled drive lies on the eastern side of the house providing generous off road parking and storage area. The main garden lies to the rear with paved seating terrace overlooking the lawn and cultivated vegetable plot. The brick shed in the corner provides secure storage and running along the front of the house is an area of formal lawn.

LAND
Lying on the western side of the house is a small, enclosed paddock bounded on two sides by brick and stone walling and in the top corner is an open fronted barn with open courtyard to the front and currently utilised for laying hens.

The main paddock lies to the south enjoying direct vehicular access off the lane with boundaries defined by a combination of mature hedgerows and post and rail fencing. The land is undulating with spring fed pond which is a real wildlife haven and spring sees snowdrops and violets in flower and in early summer the pond margin is ablaze with native yellow flag iris.

The lane running along the eastern side of the field is known locally as Crow Lane and turns into a Bridleway which runs down to Nether Heyford. The two adjoining permanent pasture fields are owned by the Althorp Estate and let out for grazing.

A public footpath diagonally crosses the field.
