Property Description

One Bedroom Cottage For Sale in West Farndon, Northamptonshire.
 
They say that Northamptonshire is the next Cotswolds…well this hidden little gem is certainly testimony to that. We don’t like using the phrase ‘unique opportunity’ but… you will not find another like this.
 
However… please read the serious bit first. There are somethings you need to know before you book a viewing. We don’t want to waste your time so we are trying to be as informative and as upfront as we possibly can.
 
This property must be sold – £170,000 is a guide price, not an asking price. 
 
It really is up to you to decide what you would like to pay for this property.
 
We will be opening the property up on Sunday 29th September, for internal viewing (strictly by appointment only so please get in touch to book) . This is to allow people plenty of time to ask any questions they have about the property and to do any research they need to do before attending and will also allow viewers to make a more informed decision when they offer.
 
We would politely ask that only buyers in a position to buy may apply.
 
We will explain the price guide process and answer any questions or concerns you might have.
 
Our mortgage and legal experts are on hand too, to answer any questions about finance and the legal process.
 
If you have any questions at all, please just call and ask – there is always one of our property experts available to talk to.
 
Please take the time to look at the condition and layout of the property as well as the access. There is no parking and access to the property can only be made on foot.
 
Please watch the video available on this page as not only will it take you through the house but it will also explain the two access routes. There is only street parking available for the property and it is away from the house (watch the video and you will see).
 
Have a good look at the internal photographs because whilst the property is marketed at an attractive guide price, you really must appreciate the work that needs to be done.
 
A great opportunity however, for someone to buy an attractively priced property in a location like no other (and in a hamlet where you just wouldn’t expect to get a house for this price).
 
We are looking for a buyer who can proceed and purchase quickly, so this property is not left vacant.
 
The ‘sale pack’ is ready (including the searches to be paid for by the buyer on completion) and will be forwarded to your solicitor, to check and advise, just as soon as your offer is accepted.
 
All you need to do is make sure your funding is in place.
 
We will be encouraging exchange of contracts within 28 days, with completion no later than 14 days after.
 
Don’t worry, we have a team who will be on hand to help make this happen for you. 
 
If you have any questions about this, please just ask.
 
If you can purchase and you would like a more detailed look around, then feel free to contact the sales team and they will book you in your very own private viewing appointment.
 
Right, enough of the serious stuff…sorry, we just want to make sure anyone looking to view the property is fully informed.
 
With one bedroom, one bathroom, and two reception rooms (plus a studio accessed from the garden), this property is perfect for a retreat or hideaway.
 
Located in a remote setting with pedestrian access only, this cottage provides direct field access for beautiful countryside walks.
 
The garden itself is actually a very good size for a one bedroom property and the garden room/studio would make anyone jealous. It provides an additional space that can be utilised for hobbies, an office, or even as a guest room.
 
One of the standout features of this property is the generous stone-walled garden that surrounds it, offering breath taking views of the surrounding countryside. Imagine spending evenings on your own private patio, sipping a cup of tea or enjoying a glass of wine while taking in the peaceful atmosphere and stunning vistas.
 
With just under 700 sq.ft of living space, it’s not the biggest house in the world but there is plenty of room to create your dream home. The cottage does require work (hence the price) but it does provide you with a blank canvas to add your personal touch and create a space that truly reflects your style.
 
Downstairs in the cottage, you’ll find two reception rooms, perfect for creating separate living spaces and then upstairs, you will find the bedroom and bathroom.
 
Nature enthusiasts will love the direct field access, which allows for countryside walks right from the doorstep. Spend your days exploring the scenic trails, immersing yourself in the beauty that this location offers.
 
It’s important to note again that this cottage is located in a remote setting with pedestrian access only, whilst it ensures peace and seclusion (and a true escape) from the hustle and bustle (sounds pretty good to us) please do not book a viewing if the access (shown in the video) is going to deter you from buying the property.
 
West Farndon is a small, peaceful hamlet tucked away in the picturesque, rolling countryside of South Northamptonshire. Ideally positioned between the vibrant villages of Woodford Halse and Byfield, the area offers a rural lifestyle with easy access to modern conveniences. Both villages boast active communities and provide a range of local amenities, including primary schools, sports fields, shops, and more.
 
For broader services, the nearby market towns of Daventry and Banbury (both approximately 10 miles away) offer an extensive range of facilities, including shopping, dining, and leisure options. Banbury is also home to a mainline train station, providing fast connections to London in under an hour, while motorists will benefit from excellent road links via the M40 at Banbury (9.5 miles).
 
Steeped in history, West Farndon was once a medieval settlement and is now part of the parish of Woodford cum Membris. Its location offers an excellent connection to the great outdoors, with a network of footpaths and bridleways, including the famous Jurassic Way, perfect for walkers, cyclists, and nature enthusiasts.
 
Don’t let this unique countryside cottage slip through your fingers. With its remote location, charming features, and stunning countryside views, this property offers the chance to live a serene and quiet lifestyle (once you’ve done some work to it).
 
Don’t miss your chance to make this cottage your very own countryside retreat.
 
It will also be good for you to know that the property is on mains electricity and has an internet/telephone line. The heating is LPG gas and there is a septic tank for drainage.
