This property encompasses approximately 15.80 acres of picturesque Northamptonshire countryside, presenting a unique opportunity for those interested in renovation and investment potential. Currently functioning as a residential farm, the estate has been in the same family since 1936 and offers a combination of traditional charm and modern possibilities.
At the heart of the property is Manor Farm Cottage, which features three bedrooms and four reception rooms, providing ample space for comfortable living. While the cottage is functional, it would greatly benefit from modernization to fully realize its potential. The layout includes a welcoming hallway that leads to both a cozy snug and an open-plan kitchen-diner, enhanced by a southeast-facing conservatory that invites natural light. The generous sitting room adds to the living space, with recently installed log burners in both the snug and sitting room contributing to a warm atmosphere.
The surrounding land primarily consists of permanent pasture with some areas previously used for arable farming. The established paddocks are well-fenced and include water troughs, making them suitable for livestock or equestrian use. Additionally, there is a floodlit manège measuring 40m x 20m, with modern surfacing installed in recent years.
Manor Farm also boasts an array of traditional farm buildings which offer significant redevelopment opportunities. With nearly 30,000 square feet of space available across various structures—including maintained granaries and cart sheds—there is considerable potential for conversion into additional residential units or commercial spaces (subject to planning permissions). This versatility enhances the property's appeal for investors looking to capitalize on its expansive footprint.
Located just one mile from Horton village on a quiet no-through road, Manor Farm benefits from both seclusion and accessibility. The nearby town of Northampton provides essential amenities and transport links, including direct train services to London Euston in under an hour. With excellent road connections to major routes including the M1 motorway and proximity to local private schools as well as charming market towns like Olney, this property is ideally situated for both living and investment.
In summary, this estate offers an appealing mix of countryside charm and substantial development potential that could attract homeowners looking for renovation projects or investors seeking viable opportunities in a desirable location.
