Poppy Cottage, Northampton

Attractively situated within the old village, 11 West Street is an exceptionally well maintained and beautifully presented four bedroom Grade II listed detached character home. Believed to date back to the early 18th century, this remarkable property is a home of both historical and architectural significance.
Constructed of stone beneath a predominantly thatched roof, which is beautifully maintained, the house is crowned by a charming pair of hares along the ridge, the signature of the master thatcher and a distinctive finishing touch. Throughout, the property displays a wealth of period features including deep leaded windows with window seats, ledge and brace doors, and exposed oak ceiling beams.
The accommodation is arranged over three floors. On the ground floor, there is an inviting dining room, a characterful dual aspect lounge with wood burning stove, a well fitted kitchen/breakfast room with integrated appliances, a useful utility room, and a cloakroom/WC.
The first floor offers three bedrooms and a family bathroom, with the impressive principal bedroom enjoying a vaulted ceiling, exposed oak timbers, fitted wardrobes, and a spacious five-piece en-suite.
On the second floor, there is a generous study/family area offering potential for a variety of uses, together with a fourth bedroom.
Outside, the property continues to impress. A private driveway leads through to an enclosed courtyard providing off road parking for up to eight vehicles, alongside a detached stone-fronted double garage. This excellent outbuilding also benefits from a cloakroom, conservatory overlooking the rear garden, and a superb first floor home office/games room with kitchenette, making it ideal for home working or hobbies.
Beyond the garage lies a mature south-facing rear garden, mainly laid to lawn and complemented by well stocked borders and paved patio areas, creating a wonderful space for both relaxing and entertaining.
