The kitchen opens nicely to the lovely dining room which has another stunning Victorian tiled fireplace and a bay window.

Seller Insight

We were looking for a property with an annexe to accommodate our family requirements but had struggled to find anything big enough. We were excited to view this property as we knew it had the space in the garage which would enable us to build what we needed, and sure enough, it was the right one for us and we had fi-nally found what we were looking for,” says the owner.

“The annexe has been fitted out for multigenerational living and comes complete with a bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, and lounge area with views out to the garden through patio doors. We also carried out a lot of work in the main house by reconfiguring the layout and decorating throughout. We merged two small rooms upstairs to create a lovely big family bathroom and converted an unusable walk-in cupboard into an ensuite which has been a great addition.”

“The property is perfect for day-to-day family life and entertaining. We incorporated the original scullery into the main kitchen area to extend the living space and also swapped over the lounge and the dining room, so that the dining area now leads off from the kitchen which is ideal for dinner parties. I think it’s now my favour-ite room as it works so well and it has the wonderful bay window overlooking the playing field.”

“The garden is a very good size and is fully enclosed, so it’s safe for children and animals. There’s plenty of park-ing available to host family get-togethers and we’ve celebrated a special 90th birthday party, wedding anniver-saries, and a works BBQ here with ease. The Secret Garden provides respite from the heat of summer and it’s always nice to sit out with a cold drink under the arbour by the pond.”

“Stanwick is a lovely little village and I wish I could pick it up and take it with me when I move. I’ve met so many friends here just through walking my dog and we’re lucky to have open fields and Stanwick Lakes nearby for long walks. We have a nice pub in the village that does good food, as well as a fabulous wine bar where you can go for cake, cheese and meat boards, sushi platters and more! Our village shop is well stocked or it’s just as easy to head over to the local supermarkets or Rushden Lakes for a wide variety of shops, restaurants, and lei-sure facilities.”*
