6 bed country house for sale

Great Harrowden, Northamptonshire NN9

A Grade II* listed country home dating back to circa 1640, set within 0.8 acres of beautifully landscaped wrap-around gardens, and offering in excess of 4,200ft2 of flexible, luxurious living space.

Located in the charming village of Great Harrowden, this elegant residence has been meticulously renovated by its current owners, marrying period charm with modern comfort. The result is a home of striking character, warmth, and function - ideal for those seeking a refined lifestyle in a picturesque setting.

The Manor House offers a wealth of flexible accommodation across two floors, including six bedrooms, four en-suites, and multiple reception rooms that flow seamlessly into the gardens. The sixth bedroom is currently used as a dedicated home office, making this home ideal for today’s lifestyle needs.

At the heart of the home is a handcrafted Fraser James kitchen, complete with marble and cherry wood worktops, a Quooker tap, and high-end Fisher & Paykel integrated appliances including three individually controlled wine fridges. Underfloor heating runs throughout the kitchen/breakfast area, snug, and principal bedroom en-suite, enhancing everyday comfort. A spacious dining area, formal sitting room, and additional snug all boast period features, including exposed beams, original fireplaces, and large, characterful windows that fill the rooms with natural light.

In addition to the existing accommodation, the second floor has a bedroom together with a WC and wash basin and access to a further room which is currently being used as storage space but presents an excellent opportunity to create further living accommodation, subject to the necessary planning consents. This space could become a self-contained suite, additional bedrooms, a playroom, or studio space - perfect for growing families or multigenerational needs.

Outside, the grounds are a true highlight - south-facing and designed across 0.8 acres with formal lawns, a designated cottage garden, enclosed paddock, and multiple seating and entertaining areas thoughtfully positioned to enjoy the sun throughout the day. The gardens wrap around three aspects of the house, offering both privacy and views over the neighbouring countryside.

Additional features include a Sonos speaker system, cast iron radiators, CCTV and alarm system accessible remotely, a new boiler, updated electrics, re-pointed chimneys and external walls - all reflecting the care and investment made in restoring this home.
