A distinctive former mill barn, beautifully converted and rich in character, offering four bedrooms, generous reception space and a spacious dining kitchen, set within a peaceful and private position in the Conservation Area of Cotterstock.

The Property
Riverside Barn is an individual and characterful home, occupying a peaceful position within the Conservation Area of Cotterstock. Originally forming part of the village's former mill complex, the property comprises historic stone barns converted in the early 1990s to designs by The Webber Partnership of Bristol. The result is a distinctive home that combines traditional materials and architectural interest with generous, versatile accommodation.

Approached via a gravelled carriage driveway with separate entrance and exit points, the property enjoys a sense of privacy and seclusion, set within a quiet lane with no through traffic.
The accommodation is well proportioned, with good ceiling heights, exposed oak beams and feature windows bringing character and natural light to the interiors. The layout is well suited to both everyday living and entertaining, with two substantial reception rooms, a spacious dining kitchen and four bedrooms arranged across the first floor.

An entrance vestibule, with a guest cloakroom and cloaks cupboard, opens through double doors into the central hallway. A staircase rises to the first floor, while a picture window provides a pleasing focal point. Further double doors lead to the principal reception rooms, creating a natural flow through the ground floor.

The sitting room is an inviting and more intimate reception space, centred around an open fireplace with an attractive stone surround. Doors open directly onto the garden, providing a natural connection between the interior and the outside.
Of particular note is the Garden Tea Room, a striking addition that introduces a different architectural character to the house. Its vaulted ceiling, exposed oak beams and skylights create a wonderful sense of volume, with a log-burning stove providing a focal point. With direct access to the garden, it is a versatile space for entertaining or more relaxed day-to-day living. Its relationship with the adjoining accommodation also offers scope for a more open-plan arrangement, if desired.

The dining kitchen is positioned at the front of the house and provides ample room for both cooking and informal dining. Fitted with a range of wall and base units, it incorporates integrated appliances, a breakfast bar and space for a dining table. A separate utility room lies beyond, providing additional practical space.

On the first floor are four bedrooms, including a particularly impressive principal bedroom with a vaulted ceiling and ensuite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are served by the family bathroom, providing flexible accommodation for family and guests alike.

Outside
The gardens are a notable feature, enjoying south-westerly and easterly aspects, with mature planting and established boundaries creating a private and sheltered setting. High brick walls to neighbouring properties further enhance the sense of seclusion.

The gravelled carriage driveway provides off-road parking for approximately four vehicles and leads to the double garage. A former garage space has been adapted to provide a useful study or workroom, offering flexibility for home working, hobbies or ancillary use.

The combination of private gardens, established planting, generous parking and additional workspace is a valuable asset, complementing the character and proportions of the house.

The Setting
Mill Lane is a particularly appealing address within Cotterstock, a historic Northamptonshire village surrounded by attractive countryside. The property's position within the Conservation Area, together with the quiet, private setting of the lane, lends a distinct sense of place.

Riverside Barn offers an appealing combination of historic character, considered architectural design and generous living space, with private gardens and useful ancillary accommodation. An individual home in a peaceful village setting, it will appeal to those seeking a property with both character and versatility.
