CHARMING PERIOD FAMILY HOME C
arr House is a very pretty Grade II Listed detached ironstone and thatched house, in grounds of approximately three quarters of an acre with a range of stone outbuildings. This former farmhouse dates from 1711 but parts are believed to be much older. It retains superb original and period features and is a wonderful family home with much charm. The house is set well back from the road with a large front garden with many mature specimen plants. A gravelled driveway leads to the rear with ample off-street parking. On the ground floor is a welcoming hallway full of period features which leads to an inner hall with a superb original staircase. There are four reception rooms with period features and two with fireplaces. The sitting room and study have mullioned windows overlooking the front garden whilst the larger reception/family room is to the rear. The dining room is adjacent to the kitchen/breakfast room. On the first floor are four double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The master has an en suite shower and dressing room. On the second floor are a further three loft rooms/bedrooms.
To the rear of the house is a superb range of stone barns and outbuildings, including a dovecote which, subject to planning, would easily convert if an annexe or home office were needed. The gardens extend to almost three quarters of an acre with lawn, summerhouse, rose garden and mature trees. Harpole is situated approximately five miles west of Northampton. The M1 Junction 16 is less than two miles away so the property would be ideal for commuters. The mainline train station in Northampton has direct trains to both Birmingham and London Euston – both approximately 50 minutes away. Harpole has a village store, two public houses, a hotel with restaurant as well as All Saints parish church, Methodist and Baptist chapels. Harpole also has two pre-school facilities and a primary school which feeds into Campion Secondary School which is close by in Bugbrooke. There are also several clubs and community organisations in the village. Carr House, Northamptonshire, Guide Price £900,000, Fine and Country Northampton 01604 309030
