Location

The property is positioned between the villages of Wansford (1 mile) and Elton (2.5 miles).

Wansford is an attractive village with largely stone period houses, which is bypassed by the A1. The 16th century coaching inn, The Haycock is a renowned hotel restaurant, whilst the village also supports two further public houses, a village shop and post office, primary school and doctor’s surgery with pharmacy.

Elton is a delightful village with a very traditional core of largely period stone and collyweston properties. It supports a village shop, primary school, cricket club and two public houses.

The Cathedral City of Peterborough (nine miles) offers a comprehensive range of services, The Peterborough Independent School and Kings (Cathedral) schools and commuter rail services to London Kings Cross and Cambridge (from 51 mins).   

The Georgian market towns of Stamford (seven miles) and Oundle (nine miles), with their renowned schools, are also easily accessible, with daily school bus services from Wansford.

Description

Constructed in 2017 and with the benefit of Buildzone New Build Warranties, this fabulously appointed family home is centrally positioned within gardens of just over half an acre, with glorious westerly views over the River Nene valley.

Offering spacious and well-appointed accommodation, including a 53’ open plan family kitchen at its core, four of five double bedrooms are en suite, whilst the two first floor suites also have access to a large roof terrace, from which there are splendid sunset views. A sixth bedroom is currently used as an office suite.

A construction focus was energy efficiency and minimal onward maintenance. Of insulated concrete block construction, the K-rend finish is pre-coloured. The aluminium double glazed windows and bi-fold doors frame attractive views, whilst internally there is a central vacuum system within the house and fully zoned air source heat pump system, with under-floor ground floor heating.

Accommodation
The wide porcelain tiled and carpeted entrance hallway has a sight line straight through the house and the kitchen’s full height glazed gable to the garden, to which bi-fold doors open. A bedroom wing, with a corridor lined with fitted full height storage units, lines the western frontage of the house, with three generous double bedrooms, each with a well-appointed bath or shower room.

The open plan family dining kitchen has impact and occupies the core of this fabulous house. Almost the entire room is glazed to the garden, to which sliding and bi-folding doors open along most of its length. With cleverly defined kitchen, dining and seating zones, the extensive kitchen has granite worktops and integrated AEG ovens, microwave, dishwasher and fridge freezer appliances. The wider room has visual appeal and features a contemporary wood burner

Completing the ground floor, a large utility/boot room has side access to the garden, whilst an inner hall leads to the oversized integral double garage, currently used as a professional workshop.

The main oak staircase rises from the hallway to an office suite, which could be a sixth bedroom or playroom, and the principal bedroom suite. With a full-suite bathroom, dressing area and double bedroom, there is also access to the property’s large roof terrace. A secondary staircase from the inner hallway, rises to the en suite first floor guest bedroom, above the garage. This spacious bedroom has two Cabrio Velux balcony roof windows which open to, and offer beautiful westerly views over, the river valley. There is also access to the roof terrace.

Outside
With a gated entrance, to which there is an unconnected electrical supply, the gravelled drive offers parking for many vehicles, with access to the integral garaging.

The formal gardens lie to the rear (east) of the house, with paved terraces adjoining the house and direct access from all the main living areas. The gardens offer a high degree of privacy. Lawns sweep from the house to the tree lined boundaries with well-stocked shrub and flowering borders interspersed by raised kitchen garden beds. The gardens measure 0.53 of an acre, or thereabouts, in total.

The roof terrace, accessed from the principal and guest bedrooms, is astro-turfed with glazed boundary balustrade, and offers fabulous vistas for morning sunrise over the garden or evening sunset views over the Nene valley.
