SELLER INSIGHT

This magnificent, spacious, family home is quietly located within Collingtree Golf Course alongside an eclectic mixture of other properties. Gently tucked away, yet conveniently close to a wealth of excellent amenities, it has been the much loved family home for its present owners for the past fourteen years.

Whilst on their search for a larger family home, the owners came to view another property along this exclusive road. As they drove past No.117, they noticed it was for sale and how attractive it looked and came to view; loved everything about it and their decision was made. Built in 1997 to an extremely exacting specification, its previous owners had cleverly increased the size of the property which was a further attraction to its now owners. During their time here, they have meticulously cared and maintained this special home and added to its luxuries and comforts. With its large amount of glazing, the house is welcoming and sunny with an adaptable, well proportioned, flexible layout enabling their children to have space to pursue individual hobbies and pastimes, especially when they were teenagers. The large family room with its French doors opening out onto decking is where day to day family life has taken place. It is also the perfect spot for gatherings of friends and family and there have been many celebrations held throughout the years, from bonfire parties in the garden, to other small and large events, sometimes when there have been up to 60 guests. The garden is mainly laid to lawn but is a space to enjoy relaxation or al fresco dining.

This is, indeed a very special environment in which to enjoy life and the Grand Union Canal is very close. There are many lovely walks direct from the house, one being to the friendly pub in the heart of the village, which serves excellent meals, with many social events taking place in the village hall. In addition, there is a primary school with a good choice of independent and state schools within easy reach. The centre of Northampton is just a short drive and is where the main line railway station is located for journeys to all parts of the country, with an exceptional commute service into Euston.

The children of the family have now flown the nest and this lovely house in this outstanding location has outlived its use for the owners and it is now time for another family to unpack their belongings and enjoy life here.*
