KEY FEATURES Victory Cottage is a charming period property, situated in the highly desirable village of Hellidon in Northamptonshire. This delightful property sits in a small lane surrounded by beautifully presented private gardens and was originally constructed in the 1600’s from traditional Northamptonshire stone, whilst the present owners have extended the property during their ownership to create a versatile period home with a contemporary feel. The house is a deceptively spacious offering with four well-proportioned bedrooms, one of which doubles up as a superb work from home office with Juliet style balconies overlooking the rear gardens. The principle bedroom with its beautiful, reclaimed stain glass windows, has its own en suite, whilst the other rooms, including a useful box room are served by a family bathroom. The ground floor has some stunning period details including exposed ceiling timbers, fireplace with log burner and traditional window seats. The sitting room enjoys views of the attractive front gardens, the dining room has more exposed timbers and opens up into a country style kitchen with classic AGA and breakfast bar, there is a secondary staircase that leads to the principle bedroom, whilst a latched door leads off to the snug, which could easily double up as a ground floor bedroom as it neighbours the ground floor shower room and small utility room. The garden room forms part of the latest extension and is the perfect summer room with its access to the delightful rear terraces.

SELLER INSIGHT We first saw Victory when it was snowing,” say the current owners, “and as we walked through the door we immediately felt how cosy, warm and welcoming the cottage was. With logs burning on the fire and food being cooked on the AGA, the house seemed to give us a big hug and invite us to stay…which we did.” Since moving in, the owners have made various improvements to the property. “The house was only 2 up and 2 down when we arrived,” they say, “but we have sympathetically extended it to create a flexible, spacious family home complete with first floor stained glass window. Many visitors assume that the extensions we have added have always been there, as they blend so seamlessly with the old part of the house. Plenty of period features remain, including in the master bedroom with its high ceiling and balcony, and in the studio/study with its vaulted ceiling, balconies and lovely views.” Outside, the gardens have been just as well cared for. “I have been a keen gardener for many years,” says the owner, “and I think the garden reflects this with all the different plants and shrubs it contains. There are different areas in the garden which have different atmospheres and there is always a sunny part or two to be found in one of the many seating areas. The garden also offers great privacy even though it is in the centre of the village, being set back from the lane. Yet in the winter, you can see the surrounding countryside both to the back and the front of the house through the bare branches of the trees.” The location of the property has much to recommend it, too. “Hellidon is a special village with a great sense of community and fun,” say the owners. “We have some wonderful long-time friends here whom we shall miss a lot. For a small place a lot goes on and there is still a thriving village pub as well as the church, the golf club, the village hall and post office. During the pandemic in particular, the community has been very supportive of one another. Hellidon is in a lovely part of the world and there are plenty of beautiful walks, long or short, that you can take from the village. The Jurassic Way passes through, so it is not unusual to see groups of walkers setting off from the pub or walking through the village. We have three lakes in the village, a windmill and there is a viaduct very close by. The rolling hills add interest to all the beautiful surrounding countryside. Further, Hellidon is very well placed to access but not be troubled by several motorways; M1, M6, M40 and M42. There is also a choice of rail stations the closest being Long Buckby, as well as Banbury and Rugby, the latter offering services to Euston in just 35 minutes.”* * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.

Outside, Garage & Parking Victory Cottage enjoys an enviable position tucked away in a private position on Cox’s Lane, there is a tarmac driveway that provides off road parking for 3 vehicles and access to a double garage. The gardens to the front are elevated and enjoy views across the rest of the village, the well-stocked borders surround the shaped lawns and come alive in summer with an abundance of colour. The rear gardens are denoted by plenty of seating areas which provide the perfect summer retreat. There are several intricate pathways and terraces that provide a feeling of seclusion and privacy to enjoy the ideal place to entertain or a laid back evening after a hard day at work!
