Four-Bedroom Cottage For Sale in Flore, Northamptonshire

This substantial four bedroom cottage in Flore. offering approximately 2,406 sq. ft including the garage, with a remarkable 45ft former shop providing considerable potential for additional accommodation (subject to planning consent.) This really is a rare opportunity for a buyer looking for space with potential to improve and adapt in a popular village location.

What really sets this home apart is not only the generous four-bedroom accommodation, but the exceptional amount of additional space and exciting potential it offers to create something truly special.

Owned by the same family since the 1980s, this is a substantial village property offering approximately 2,406 sq ft including the garage. Alongside the cottage itself is a former shop measuring approximately 45ft in length, creating a genuinely unusual opportunity for somebody looking for a larger home they can improve and adapt over time.

The cottage is perfectly liveable as it stands, but there is clearly scope for a new owner to put their own stamp on it. More importantly, the former shop creates possibilities that you simply do not find with most village homes, whether incorporated into the main accommodation or explored as a potential annexe – subject of course to any necessary consents.

ABOUT THE HOME

The cottage itself has a traditional layout with two separate reception rooms on the ground floor.

You enter directly into the dining room, where an exposed ceiling beam adds some character and there is useful storage beneath the stairs.

The sitting room sits alongside and is a comfortable, dual aspect room with windows to both the front and rear. A window seat and reclaimed brick fireplace with slate hearth gives the room a little more personality and creates a natural focal point.

The kitchen sits towards the rear of the cottage, overlooking and opening onto the garden. It is fitted with a range of units with space for appliances and provides another area where a future owner may choose to make changes in time.

The really interesting part of this property, however, is what sits alongside the cottage.

Previously used as a shop, this adjoining area is now currently used predominantly for storage. It has its own pedestrian entrance from the front, power and lighting, further storage space and a cloakroom.

For the right buyer, this could be the part of the property that changes everything. Subject to the necessary consents, there is obvious potential to investigate incorporating this area into the existing home to create considerably more living accommodation. Alternatively, buyers may wish to explore its suitability for ancillary accommodation or simply retain it as an exceptionally useful amount of storage and workspace.

The former shop also connects internally to the large garage, making the entire ground floor arrangement particularly flexible.

Upstairs, the cottage provides four bedrooms. Bedroom one is particularly generous with windows to the front and rear, exposed ceiling beams and a stone fireplace.

There are three further bedrooms, giving the house the flexibility needed for family life, guests or working from home.

The first floor also has a family bathroom with both a bath and separate shower, together with a separate WC.

Outside, the rear garden enjoys a southeast facing aspect and is fully enclosed. A paved seating area immediately behind the house leads up to the lawn, with established borders providing colour and interest around

the garden.

There is also covered storage and pedestrian access into the garage.

The garage itself is another substantial space, measuring approximately 18’6″ x 17’0″, with power, lighting and an electric door.

Overall, this is not a home aimed at somebody looking for everything to have already been finished for them. Its appeal is the opposite.

There is a lot of property here, plenty of flexibility and a particularly unusual amount of adjoining space. For somebody wanting a sizeable village home they can improve and shape around their own requirements, it is a

very interesting opportunity.
