Ground Floor

Step inside via a uPVC front door into the entrance hallway, with stairs to the first floor and access to a downstairs WC.

The living room (10’8” x 14’11”) is bright and welcoming, with a window to the front and a lovely flow into the dining area (8’9” x 10’10”) — perfect for family dinners or entertaining. French doors open onto the garden, creating a seamless indoor–outdoor feel and plenty of natural light.

The kitchen (8’9” x 12’5”) is separate but well laid out, with space for a dishwasher, washing machine and an American-style fridge-freezer. There’s a built-in oven, induction hob, granite sink, tiled splashbacks and a good-sized understairs cupboard.

The converted garage gives you an incredibly useful bonus room — ideal as a home office, playroom, guest room or snug.

The layout works well as it is — with all the space you need already in place — but it also offers plenty of potential to modernise, extend and style things to suit your own taste.

First Floor

Upstairs, there are two large double, a small double bedroom and one single:

Bedroom One (12’2” x 12’11”) – front aspect with distant lake views, fitted wardrobes, built-in desk and en-suite shower room
Bedroom Two (8’9” x 10’6”) – front aspect, great size double
Bedroom Three (9’0” x 8’7”) – rear aspect, small double, overlooking the garden
Bedroom Four (9’0” x 7’4”) – rear aspect single room, or decent sized office, overlooking the garden

The family bathroom has been updated with tiled walls, a full-sized bath with a powerful rainfall-style mains-pressure shower overhead, and a folding glass screen. A pedestal sink, low flush WC, and a section of easy-clean panelling around the bath complete the space — practical for family life but with a modern feel.

The loft is part-boarded, with a fitted ladder and lighting — perfect for additional storage.

Outside

The garden wraps around the side and rear of the house, offering a generous lawn, mature trees, and a large raised decked seating area with open views — especially lovely at night when Higham church is lit in the distance. This spacious deck currently houses an outdoor bar, seating area, dining table and BBQ, making it the ultimate spot for relaxing or entertaining. Thanks to its elevated position and peaceful setting, the top of the decking feels private and tranquil, with beautiful views across the greenery towards Higham. There’s even a large palm-style tiki tree that gives the space a tropical, holiday-at-home feel on sunny days. The decking has been treated and well maintained each year, offering a solid, inviting space that’s incredibly versatile — whether you’d like to add a hot tub, higher seating area or custom bar setup.

A small pond brings a soothing trickle of water, adding to the sense of calm and creating a gentle soundscape. The garden is also home to a fully electric, insulated outdoor home office — ideal for remote working, hobbies or a creative studio. The sellers intend to take this with them, but are open to negotiation should it be of interest to the buyer. A large outdoor shed, currently used as a gym, offers additional storage or flexible use.

The lawn is a fantastic size — perfect for children, pets, or gardening enthusiasts — and is complemented by a variety of mature plants that provide colour and blooms throughout spring and summer. There’s ample room to create your own growing patch, add landscaping or garden zones, build outbuildings, or extend the home (STPP) — all while still retaining plenty of garden space.

Thanks to its location near the Nene Wetlands and Irthlingborough Lakes, the garden attracts a wide range of wildlife, including hedgehogs, flocks of geese flying overhead, herons landing on the roof, and red kites often circling above — a beautiful natural backdrop to daily life.

The driveway includes a dedicated electric car charging point, ideal for modern family living.

And with the generous corner plot, there’s fantastic potential to extend — from side returns and rear kitchen-diners to two-storey additions (STPP) — making this a home with space to grow both inside and out.
