5 bed semi-detached house for sale

High Street, Potterspury, Towcester, Northamptonshire NN12

A charming Grade II listed period home, dating back to around 1700, set in the heart of Potterspury’s historic High Street. Originally built as a combined shop and dwelling, the property has since been sympathetically separated, with the residential portion now forming an independent five-bedroom semi-detached home arranged over three floors.

Constructed from coursed local limestone rubble under a slate roof, the house retains a wealth of architectural character including exposed stop-chamfered beams, a stone cellar, and timber-lintelled casement windows typical of early 18th-century vernacular design. Later 19th- and 20th-century alterations have added further charm while preserving its distinctive heritage profile.

The accommodation is generous and versatile, offering five bedrooms and three reception areas, with a wealth of period character ready to be brought back to life. The layout follows the traditional three-unit plan of its era, providing well-proportioned rooms and good ceiling heights for a property of this age. Although the house has been vacant for some time it represents an exceptional opportunity for a new owner to rejuvenate a fine Grade II listed home. The handsome front elevation remains an integral part of Potterspury’s historic streetscape, while the interior offers the perfect canvas for sympathetic refurbishment to suit modern living.

The adjoining shop premises, once part of the original structure, are now separately owned and operate independently, ensuring privacy and distinct access for both properties.

Set within a sought-after Northamptonshire village known for its community spirit, rural walks, and proximity to Towcester, Milton Keynes, and the A5, this property offers a rare opportunity to own and restore a significant piece of Potterspury’s architectural history.

🏛️ Historical Note

Listed Grade II in 1988 for its special architectural and historic interest, 100 High Street was originally recorded as a shop and dwelling built circa 1700, later altered in the 19th century. The building’s limestone walls, chamfered beams, and stone cellar remain defining features of its period charm. Over time, the property was subdivided to create the present-day residence and adjoining retail unit — both of which continue to contribute to the character of the village’s High Street.
