Three-bedroom period stone house

This delightful period stone house stands in an enviable position adjacent to and backing onto open pasture forming part of the Althorp Estate in one of the most sought-after locations in Northamptonshire. The house is believed to date from the early 19th Century, constructed of ironstone beneath a part-thatch and part-slate roof, and offers considerable scope for modernisation and refurbishment to the three-bedroom accommodation with potential for extension into the attached outbuilding, subject to planning permission. Formerly the village Post Office and now vacant, the property retains a wealth of character features and stands in private gardens extending to just under a quarter of an acre. The ground floor comprises a reception hall, living room, Post Office servery, store, cloakroom, dining room, kitchen, pantry, and porch. The first floor provides a landing, three bedrooms, and a bath/shower room. Outside, the house stands back from the road behind a deep front garden bounded by paled fencing with a pathway flanked by lawns and well-stocked flower and shrub borders containing mature trees including Holly, Laurel, Oak, Sumac, and Magnolia. The eastern side features a former kitchen garden bounded by post and rail fencing, leading to a courtyard. Outbuildings include a workshop, fuel store, wood store, and external WC. The rear garden is laid to lawn, housing a derelict greenhouse and an oil storage tank, bounded by post and rail fencing and Beech hedging, backing directly onto open pasture. The property is situated in the Harlestone village Conservation Area and is not a listed building. It forms part of the Althorp Estate and will be sold subject to the Estate's standard schedule of covenants. Local authority is West Northamptonshire Council.
