This historic farmhouse, dating back to the mid-1600s, presents an opportunity for those looking to invest in a property rich with character and potential. Nestled in a desirable village near Oundle, Messuage Farmhouse is listed as Grade II and features classic local limestone construction topped with a well-maintained thatched roof. The property sits on a generous third-acre plot with ample outdoor space, including traditional outbuildings that could be converted into separate living accommodations or offices, pending necessary permissions.
Inside, the residence boasts an array of period elements such as charming window seats, an inviting inglenook fireplace, and striking spined beamed ceilings. The home has been thoughtfully modernized while preserving its historical allure. A former butcher's shop has been tastefully integrated to provide flexible additional accommodation.
The layout includes a spacious kitchen at the heart of the home, equipped with high-quality fixtures such as Corian work surfaces and an electric Aga within the original inglenook. Multiple reception rooms offer cozy spots to relax or entertain. The first floor houses five bedrooms and multiple bathrooms, providing ample space for families.
The exterior features well-maintained gardens with areas for vegetable cultivation and extensive lawns surrounded by mature hedges. The barns present significant development potential; they currently serve as storage but could become workshops or further living spaces.
With existing services including mains electricity and oil-fired heating installed, this property holds exceptional promise for renovation enthusiasts looking to enhance its charm while potentially increasing its value.
