Property description
Character Cottage For Sale in Eydon, Northamptonshire.
Built of Northamptonshire stone, this charming two bedroom cottage is full of character and now for sale with Campbells, Daventry.
Eydon is a quintessential English village - a \"Chocolate box\" in South-Northamptonshire.
There's the potential here for you to come in and really make this cottage something special. Planning permission although lapsed, has previously been granted for a double-storey extension - you can see the plans if you wish.
** We will be opening the property up for a viewing day so, call if you would like to arrange to visit **Once you make your way through the oak-framed front door, you'll notice the character continues inside with exposed beams, open fireplaces and deep window sills, typical of this period. And those are just some of the remaining period features.
The reception / dining room has an inviting fireplace with the log burner, I'm sure you'll be able to picture it crackling away on a winter's night or a Sunday afternoon when sitting down to a roast dinner after a visit to the local 17th Century pub - The Royal Oak.
The cosy lounge also has an open fire and a lovely reading area, there's a charming internal leaded light window, another one of the lovely features this home has.
Surprisingly the two double bedrooms on the first floor have unusually high ceilings - perfect for hanging chandeliers.
The rear garden is simply delightful. A complete 'sun trap' with stunning views over the rolling Northamptonshire countryside.
Completely private, you can enjoy a cool glass of wine on a balmy Summers evening and the only noise you're likely to hear, would be the odd \"Moo\" coming from across the fields.
Eydon is an ancient, mainly ironstone village with fantastic surrounding views. It is located on the east side of a hill which rises to 580ft - making Eydon the highest point in the Parish.
There is a thriving community with many groups for all ages and various village facilities, again another reason making Eydon such a sought-after village to live in.
The Royal Oak is a 17th century pub / restaurant and attracts many visitors - even a celebrity or two!
A butchers van pays a visit to the village twice a week. As well as fresh meat, they also sell vegetables and pretty much stock a full shop.
The fish van visits on a Tuesday offering fresh fish from Grimsby.
Towcester Racecourse is only 13 miles away, or if wheels are more your thing then Silverstone is only 15 miles from Eydon.
For the business traveller, Eydon is 15-20 minutes drive from Banbury, Daventry, Brackley and Towcester and 15mins from the M40.
Does this peaceful village and charming cottage appeal to you? I rather like it...
Why not come and see for yourself? Feel free to call me (Amanda) for further details or, if I'm not around, talk to one of the Campbells team to put your name down for a viewing.
There's no upper chain so we should be able to get things moving quickly here.
