FINE & COUNTRY HIGH STREET “Marazion has been our family home for nearly 50 years” says the current owner of this three storey Grade II Listed property at 78 High Street, Hardingstone. “My father bought the property because Hardingstone was a small village separated from Northampton by green fields and woods. It provided tranquil living with all the amenities of a bustling market county town close by.”

This is an exciting opportunity to acquire this very pretty three storey Grade II listed semi detached Georgian house located in the ever popular and sought after village of Hardingstone. The house retains many period features and is beautifully light with deceptively spacious rooms. It has not been on the market for over fifty years and although well cared for does now require modernising and improving to create a wonderful family home which could if required be further extended subject to planning.
