Property Description

Individual Stone Village Property With Four Bedrooms For Sale in Watford Village Northamptonshire.

Built on the grounds of what was Watford Court House which was demolished in 1975, Field House and its two direct neighbours lie on the same footprint.

This was the condition under which the previous Lord of the Manor would allow the new houses to be built.

Field House was built in 1985, constructed of stone it is in fact attached to its neighbour one side and linked by one room the other side.

Hence ticking the footprint requirement of the previous landowner.

Only from the front is this apparent, once inside or outside in the grounds it’s a whole different ball game!

You’d be excused for thinking it looks small from the outside but “don’t judge a book by its cover.”

The imposing entrance hall sets the ambience for the rest of the house. Imagine your 20ft Christmas tree greeting your guests…

All downstairs accommodation leads off the central entrance hall.

“You’ll always find me in the kitchen at parties,” and this house is no exception! The kitchen has been replaced since the house was built and is very high end the Miele appliances and granite worktops. Don’t get me wrong the house needs some updating (mainly décor) but the kitchen and bathrooms have already been done!

There’s a very handy utility off the kitchen with back door access to the garden and personal access to the garage.

A beautiful lounge with its stone working fireplace adds elegance and grandeur, and this room has direct access to the terrace as does the separate dining room.

You’ll also find a large study fully fitted out ready for you to start work.

Upstairs the landing replicates the entrance hall – what a space.

There are four generous bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The principal bedroom is like a hotel suite. The en-suite has been replaced and there’s a fabulous dressing room which leads through to the dual aspect bedroom.

Bedroom two has fitted-wardrobes the same as the principal, bedroom three is a great double with views over the garden and the fourth bedroom is a very generous single.

Outside, the south-facing grounds were once beautifully landscaped, and the original design drawings are still kept in the study for inspiration. You’ll even find a Quince tree hidden among the planting. A traditional ha-ha protects the garden and blends it seamlessly into the surrounding parkland – the views are truly stunning.

The terrace, with its stone wall, has an unmistakable Bridgerton-esque charm, offering the perfect spot to dine al fresco or unwind with a glass of wine.

This is a home that needs to be experienced in person to fully appreciate the lifestyle it offers.

Watford itself is a delightful Northamptonshire village with roots stretching back to Roman times. Today it’s a friendly and characterful community with regular village events centred around the church of St Peter and St Paul. There’s even a pop-up pub, The Wheelwright Arms, which is known locally for its excellent Thai food.

For commuters, the location couldn’t be better – just half a mile from the A5, a few minutes from the M1, and only five minutes from Long Buckby train station with direct routes to London and Birmingham.

The village also falls into the catchment for the sought-after Guilsborough Secondary School.

Chapel Lane, Crick, NN6 7TW

Three Bedroom Detached Period Property For Sale in Crick, Northamptonshire.

Ivy Cottage is a truly charming three bedroom detached period home tucked away on a quiet no-through lane in the heart of the sought-after village of Crick – and it comes with a fascinating family history, a sizeable, beautifully private rear garden, and a generous additional plot of land opposite measuring approximately 3,000 sq.ft.

This much-loved family home has been in the same family for over 100 years, passed down through generations. It’s not just a home, but a slice of village history. Ivy Cottage has certainly played a colourful role in the community.

Step inside and you’ll be greeted by all the character you’d expect from a home of this era – exposed ceiling beams, a cast iron range in the dining room, charming brace and latch doors, and lovely stonework and brickwork throughout. The entrance hall gives way to two warm and welcoming reception rooms. The 17ft lounge enjoys natural light from both ends with windows to the front and double doors opening out onto the rear garden – and a striking stone-built fireplace takes centre stage. The 17ft dining room is full of period charm, with exposed stonework, an original decorative range, and built-in storage cupboards.

To the rear of the cottage you’ll find a traditional cottage-style kitchen fitted with light oak units, tiled flooring and three windows overlooking the garden. A stable door leads directly to the patio – ideal for alfresco dining. Off the kitchen is a practical cloakroom with WC, basin, space for laundry appliances, and the five year old Worcester oil-fired boiler.

Upstairs there are three double bedrooms – each with their own character. The main bedroom is flooded with light from three windows and features a lovely cast iron fireplace and an en-suite shower. The second bedroom has another original fireplace, while bedroom three has views over the rear garden and to the side. The family bathroom is fitted with a classic white suite including a bath with Victorian-style taps, WC and vanity basin.

Outside, the south-facing garden is a real delight – low maintenance but beautifully landscaped, with a large paved entertaining area and mature trees, shrubs and borders that offer a high degree of privacy. There’s a lovely seating pergola tucked away to one side and rear gated access. The garden was even featured on the BBC’s Charlie’s Gardening Neighbours in 2001, when it was transformed into a Japanese garden complete with tea house. Some of the striking rocks in the garden were craned in, much to the delight of the family, who kept the biggest boulders from making the final cut!

As if the cottage and garden weren’t enough, directly opposite the house is a further parcel of land measuring approximately 3,000 sqft. This generous, secluded plot offers exciting potential – it is used as a driveway currently but could house a garage, a home office or studio (subject to planning), or simply as an addition to the main garden. With mature hedging for privacy and a wide access, it’s a rare find in a village centre and provides fantastic flexibility for future use. We would like to remind everyone that 3,000 sq.ft is an approximate size.

Chapel Lane itself is one of Crick’s hidden gems – a peaceful, tucked-away lane yet just a short walk from the village amenities, countryside walks, the canal, and excellent road links. Crick is well known for its welcoming community, primary school, Co-op, Post Office, three pubs, and popular annual scarecrow and music festivals.

Whether you’re looking for a character home to settle into or a unique opportunity to create something special, Ivy Cottage is packed with personality, and possibility plenty of stories to tell.
