The entrance hall immediately gives you a warm welcome, with tiled flooring, a useful understairs nook, and neutral décor that sets the tone for the rest of the house. A tidy built-in coat bench keeps everything clutter-free, and the soft green woodwork gives a subtle nod to the home’s heritage.
You get a real sense of how well this home has been looked after. It’s bright, clean and inviting.
To the right, you’ll find the spacious dual-aspect lounge. This is a lovely big room with a real sense of comfort — thanks to the traditional fireplace with a multi-fuel burner, exposed timber beam overhead, and cosy carpet underfoot. Natural light pours in from the front and rear.
Across the hall, the open-plan kitchen and dining room is equally impressive. It’s been stylishly refitted with Shaker-style cabinets, worktops, an elevated double oven, integrated fridge-freezer and induction hob — and there’s a lovely window seat to the front that adds to the cottage charm. There’s exposed brick along one wall and bold blue accents that bring real personality to the space. There’s more than enough room here for a large family dining table, and it’s the kind of kitchen you’ll genuinely enjoy spending time in.
Just off the kitchen is a handy utility room with space and plumbing for your washing machine and dishwasher, and the oil-fired combination boiler is neatly tucked away in here too.
Upstairs, the main bedroom is a fabulous size. It’s dual-aspect again, so light just floods in, and there’s a large built-in wardrobe and a modern ensuite shower-room, finished with stylish tiling and contemporary fittings.
There are three further bedrooms — all of which are good sizes, and all beautifully decorated. Bedroom Two has a bold feature wall with exposed brick-effect paper and a lovely view across the garden.
The family bathroom has also been refitted — and it’s gorgeous. With patterned floor tiles, panelling, and a sleek white suite, it feels clean, fresh and timeless.
The front garden is fully enclosed and immaculately presented. A winding block-paved path leads you to the beautiful front door, framed by a glorious arch of climbing Roses, Petunias and trailing plants. There’s a large lawn, a mix of mature trees and shrubs along the boundaries for privacy, and beautifully planted borders filled with colour — it’s a proper cottage garden that’s easy to maintain and a joy to sit in.
There’s also a low-maintenance courtyard garden to the rear, which faces west — making it a lovely sun trap in the afternoon and evening. The patches of lawn and patio keeps it looking neat all year round. Perfect space for a BBQ!
There’s also off-road parking for two vehicles on the gated driveway to the side of the property.
Kilsby is a very popular Northamptonshire village, just a short drive from both Rugby and Daventry. It’s known for its friendly community, excellent pubs (including The George and The Red Lion,) great primary school and active village hall.
There’s also a community-run shop just around the corner, and you’re well placed for transport too — with easy access to the A5, M1 and M6. You can be at Long Buckby or Rugby train stations in no time, with direct links into London Euston in under an hour.
If you’re after a property that offers proper character, generous space, and the kind of garden that makes you smile every time you walk through the gate — then Daventry House could be your perfect next step.
