Seller Insight Situated on the very edge of the delightful Northamptonshire village of Crick is Larachbeg, a charming stone-built bungalow that boasts just under three acres of rolling grounds. “My mother and father actually bought the sub-post office in the village in 1948 and the large field on which the bungalow is situated came as part of the sale,” says Geoff. “They ran the business until 1980 and shortly before they both retired they had Larachbeg built, they then went on to spend many happy years running a smallholding that produced all types of fruit and veg.” “The bungalow today is pretty much as it was when it was built. It has a good size kitchen/diner, a very pleasant lounge, a conservatory that takes in the lovely views and two generously proportioned bedrooms. It’s a lovely little property, and my mother and father enjoyed many happy years living in it, but I’d say that it has huge potential to be developed into a much larger home, one that could be designed to take full advantage of the lovely setting.” “The property sits right on the edge of the village, and the grounds are mostly surrounded by nothing but open farmland, so it’s a very pretty setting,” continues Geoff. “Two thirds of the land is just grass, which we have cut once a years for hay, but there’s also an extensive flower garden, a large vegetable plot and an orchard. It would be absolutely ideal for somebody who’s interested in market gardening or a super place to keep horses. Both the bungalow and the grounds have so much potential.” “I was born and bred in Crick, and it was a really lovely place to grow up,” says Geoff. “It has two very nice pubs, a Post Office and a Co-op, and the primary school has a great reputation. It’s also a very convenient place to live as the motorway links are very good and Rugby station is just a short drive away.”*

One of the nicest rooms is the conservatory,” says Geoff, “purely because it brings the beautiful surroundings right into the house.”

The property also has two double garages, one at the front and one at the rear,” says Geoff. “They are both built from Northamptonshire stone, just like the bungalow, so it would be relatively easy to incorporate both spaces into the main accommodation.”

I think it’s the uniqueness of the property that sets it apart,” says Geoff. “It’s a real rural idyll and a place that I have great fondness for. It was a fantastic environment to grow up in and even now I love to visit, stroll up to the top of the field and just gaze out at the magnificent views. It’s a stunning place and one that has so much potential.”
