A charismatic three bedroom Grade II listed cottage in the heart of a quintessential English village with wonderful garden and ample parking

Description

The Hollies, officially known as 39 Chapel Street, is a beautifully presented Grade II listed cottage, set within the highly sought-after village of Warmington.

Believed to date from the 1700s, this enchanting home has been thoughtfully extended and sensitively renovated, seamlessly blending elegant period features with the comforts of modern living.

Constructed in traditional stone beneath a Collyweston slate roof, the property exudes historical charm. Throughout, one finds characterful touches such as exposed beams, original wooden doors and shutters, and open fireplaces, all tastefully enhanced by a refined, country-inspired interior and a striking rear garden room extension.

Offering versatile accommodation arranged over two floors, the home comprises three generous double bedrooms, three flexible reception rooms, two bathrooms, and a farmhouse-style kitchen. Outside, the property is approached via a large gravel driveway set behind a stone wall, with ample off-street parking, a detached garage to the rear of the garden, and an enclosed, south-facing garden offering excellent privacy and appeal.

Warmington is a thriving Northamptonshire village with a strong community spirit, local amenities, and excellent transport links to surrounding market towns and highly regarded schools, making The Hollies a rare opportunity in an idyllic setting.

Accommodation
A welcoming entrance hall with exposed stonework leads to a spacious, well-appointed wet room with contemporary fixtures and finishes.

The charming sitting room enjoys a dual aspect and features exposed beams, a brick fireplace with wood-burning stove, and French doors that open into the spectacular garden room. Spanning the rear elevation, the garden room is a generous and light-filled space, offering uninterrupted views over the grounds through full-height glazing. With direct access to the south-facing garden via French doors, this extension serves as the heart of the home equally suited to everyday family life and entertaining.

The adjacent dining room is also double aspect, featuring wooden flooring and a period feature fireplace. An arched doorway leads through to the kitchen, which is styled in a traditional farmhouse aesthetic. This inviting space features bespoke wooden cabinetry, an Aga, butler sink, exposed stone walls, and a range of integrated appliances including an induction hob, oven, dishwasher, and fridge freezer. There is also a designated space for a washing machine and access outside.

The staircase rises to a split landing, where a cosy reading nook enjoys natural light and a charming garden outlook. The principal bedroom is a peaceful, double-aspect retreat with exposed floorboards and storage cupboard. The second bedroom overlooks the garden and offers generous proportions, while the third bedroom also includes fitted wardrobes. A beautifully finished family bathroom with a freestanding bath completes the first-floor accommodation.

Outside
The south-facing rear garden is a true highlight of The Hollies. An exceptional private retreat with a series of thoughtfully designed spaces. A large patio area immediately to the rear of the house provides the perfect setting for entertaining and al fresco dining, with views over the ornamental pond and a designated barbeque area beyond.

Mature trees, lush borders, and well-tended shrubs create a wonderful sense of tranquillity and seclusion. Toward the bottom of the garden lies a more practical space, housing a washing line, greenhouse, shed, and log store. Side access leads to the brick built storage outbuilding, which benefits from power and lighting.

The gravel driveway to the front offers ample parking for multiple vehicles, all enclosed by a traditional stone wall.
