3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Mackenzie Road, Raunds NN9

That Hard To Describe Sweet Spot Between diy Doer-Upper And Immaculate Showhome...This spacious semi will be perfect if you want to move in and make it your own over time. There’s nothing that needs an urgent fix but plenty of scope to style it your way.

This is the kind of family home that gives you breathing space - not just in terms of size, but what happens when you move in.

You can live comfortably from day one while slowly putting your stamp on it, taking one room at a time. No mad rush. No messy living-in-a-building-site chaos. Just steady progress, how and when you want to tackle it.

Downstairs, the full-width lounge is light, bright and big enough for movie nights, toys and the odd bit of grown-up downtime.

The kitchen diner sits at the front - with enough space to sit and eat and with the fitted units and surfaces in decent condition, so you won’t need to rip anything out just yet.

Upstairs, there’s a classic three-bed layout - two decent doubles and a third that would make a great nursery, study or dressing room. The family bathroom has everything you need, including a shower over the bath.

The landing’s surprisingly generous too - one of those spaces that makes you wonder: Could you tweak the upstairs layout to steal a little space? Or even look into stairs upto a loft conversion one day?

Outside, you’ve got a neat and tidy lawn at the front and an enclosed back garden with handy side access. It’s got a raised decking seating area next to the house with steps down to a manageable lawn and a wooden shed at the back.

Parking is currently on-street, but the current owners have applied for a dropped kerb, which could open the door to turning the front garden into your own off-road spot in the future.

You’re only a 10 minute walk from the High Street, with a Co-op, cafés, three pubs and all your essentials. Stanwick Lakes is just a 5 minute drive away for Sunday strolls or bike rides. Rushden Lakes is close enough for your retail therapy fix and a cheeky Nando’s.

Windmill Primary is just 2 minutes in the car or a 12 minute walk away, and Manor School (for older kids) is on the other side of the village but it’s walkable too - ideal if you're thinking ahead.

Wellingborough Station is less than a 20 minute drive away, giving you a fast route into London St Pancras in under an hour.

If you’re a first-time buyer, a small family or a landlord after a smart long-term btl investment, this home ticks the boxes. It’s comfortable now, bursting with potential later - and all in a spot where everything’s within easy reach.
