INGLEDELL COTTAGE

KEY FEATURES

Offering canal side living with two mooring berths, Ingledell Cottage is a highly individual detached property with canal frontage and gardens extending to approximately 0.5 acres with a separate barn annex ideal for guests. The house has undergone complete modernisation to create a ‘grand design’ home. It was originally three workers cottages but now has a stunning glass extension on the rear with the main receptions and kitchen on the upper floor which afford breathtaking views over the canal and surrounding countryside. On first entering you are greeted by a phenomenal double height entrance hall with a curved stone and glass staircase leading up to the main reception room. This room has a vaulted ceiling, floor to ceiling windows and doors that open onto a wrap around terrace. Leading off this room is a family room/library that could be used as a double bedroom. There is also a study/single bedroom and a cloakroom that can be used as a wet room. At the far end of the top floor is the superb open plan kitchen and sitting room which again has access to the terrace. The ‘Bells’ kitchen is extensively fitted and has integrated appliances and is an ideal room for entertaining.

SELLER INSIGHT

I enjoy the challenge of redevelopment, so I was excited by the potential to refurbish the property which was a big part of the attraction for me initially. The size of the garden was also very appealing, as was the proximity to the canal and surrounding greenery,” says the owner.

“The floor plan didn’t quite work, so everything was stripped back to bare walls and redesigned to create a modern, fully upside-down layout designed to make the most of the fabulous views. The underfloor heating is a stylish and practical addition and the automatic roller blinds are programable from my phone, so I can do it at different times when I’m on holiday which adds to the sense of security.”

“Living here evokes a feeling of being on holiday, especially when the canal comes to life with people who never fail to wave and chat and tell us how wonderful the house looks. It is in the middle of the countryside but I’ve never felt isolated as there are plenty of people around and amenities are easily accessible in nearby Daventry, Northampton, and Towcester. There are a couple of well-stocked One Stop shops a bit closer to home too, as well as a wide choice of groups to get involved with as much or as little as you like.”

“I designed the garden into different sections like individual outdoor rooms. It’s ideal for relaxing and entertaining as there is plenty of space for marquees, live bands, and catering facilities. The Japanese garden and tea room is a tranquil sanctuary, whilst the English garden has two ponds linked by a little stream which is the perfect place to escape to for some peace and quiet. The patio alongside the canal is a wonderful spot to watch the wildlife and birds going about their business.”

“Ingledell Cottage is currently set up as two bedrooms, a study, and music room but it could easily be adapted back to four bedrooms if required. The self-contained annexe could be utilised as an Air BnB and I have used it to accommodate guests which is useful when I’m entertaining. The kitchen is the heart of the home where I like to relax on the settee and watch television or look out of the bifold doors to the garden but I do also love the lounge as it’s full of morning sunshine with lovely views, particularly in spring when the baby lambs are frolicking in the fields.”*
