The Property
Church View Cottage is a beautifully presented period home, constructed in local stone beneath a tiled roof and set in an enviable position opposite the village Rectory. Originally formed from two cottages, it has been thoughtfully combined to create a comfortable and versatile home, full of charm and character.
The property offers well-balanced accommodation with a flexible layout, ideal for modern family living. Retaining many period features including exposed timbers, oak internal doors and traditional fireplaces, the cottage has a warm and inviting feel throughout.
Accommodation
The ground floor provides a welcoming entrance hall leading through to the principal living spaces. The dining room provides a more formal setting, centred around a charming open stone fireplace that adds warmth and character. Beyond, the living room presents a particularly cosy and inviting atmosphere, complete with a feature fireplace and exposed beams, creating an ideal space for relaxed evenings.
A study to the rear provides an ideal work-from-home space, overlooking the garden.
The heart of the home is the kitchen / breakfast room, fitted with a range of oak units, Aga, and integrated appliances. With French doors opening onto the garden, this is a light-filled space perfect for everyday living and entertaining.
A cloakroom completes the ground floor.
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms accessed from the landing. The principal bedroom enjoys views over the garden and adjoining fields, along with a useful dressing area. The remaining bedrooms to the front benefit from attractive views towards the church.
The family bathroom has been stylishly refitted with a modern suite including a bath with shower over.
Outside
The property is approached via a block-paved driveway providing parking for several vehicles and leading to a stone-built garage.
The south-facing rear garden is a particular highlight, enjoying a wonderful outlook across neighbouring fields. The garden has been attractively landscaped with a terrace, seating areas, and well-stocked flower and shrub borders, leading onto a lawn, ideal for both relaxing and entertaining.
Location
Situated in the heart of Barnwell, widely regarded as one of the region’s most desirable villages, the property enjoys a quintessential setting with a brook running through the village and mature lime trees lining its banks.
The village offers a strong sense of community, with amenities including a popular public house, village hall, and shop/post office.
The historic market town of Oundle lies approximately two miles away, offering a range of independent shops, restaurants, schooling, and leisure facilities. More extensive amenities and mainline rail services to London are available in Peterborough, approximately 12 miles away.
