3 bed detached house for sale

Lodge Way, Irthlingborough, Wellingborough NN9

Can A Conservatory Roof And Garage Conversion Change Everything? This immaculate detached family home on the popular Pine Trees estate has been thoughtfully improved, with a year-round conservatory and a versatile split garage space which gives you options.

Some upgrades look good on paper. Others quietly change how a home feels every single day. Here, both the conservatory roof and the garage conversion do exactly that.

The Pine Trees has long been one of Irthlingborough’s quieter corners. With a children’s playground just round the corner on Home Close and a footpath to the Lakes and Meadows only a few doors away, it’s easy to swap screen time for fresh air at a moment’s notice.

Pull onto your own double drive and you’re straight in - with space for 2 cars (which should mean you don’t ever miss the chance to park in the garage).

Inside, the hallway feels bright and practical, with a handy downstairs WC under the stairs.

At the front, there’s a spacious reception room that’s currently being used as a ground floor bedroom. It could just as easily be a home office, playroom or snug, depending on what your family needs.

To the rear, the dining room has been opened into the kitchen to create a more sociable space. It’s the sort of layout where homework can happen at the table while dinner is on the hob and conversations carry on without anyone feeling like they’re missing out.

With its new insulated ceiling and underfloor heating, the conservatory is no longer a room you abandon in November. It works as a second sitting room, play space or bright morning coffee spot all year round, with a door straight out to the garden.

The garden itself is designed for real family use. There’s a patio for summer meals, lawn for games and decking at the back. Side access to the front means muddy bikes (or dogs) don’t need to come through the house and bin day will be a breeze.

The garage has been cleverly split. The rear half is accessed from the hall and is currently set up as a utility area, keeping laundry and household jobs neatly tucked away. The other half remains as secure storage from the front, ideal for bikes, tools or the things you do not want cluttering up your living space.

Upstairs, natural light from the landing window keeps things bright. There are three good sized bedrooms, giving children room to grow rather than just squeeze in.

The main bedroom benefits from its own ensuite. The stylish family bathroom serves the other two bedrooms and is fitted with a three piece suite with a shower over the bath.

Living on the Pine Trees makes everyday logistics simpler. The High Street is only a 5 minute drive away for Co-op, Aldi and the post office, while Rushden Lakes is only 9 minutes away when you want a bigger choice of big name shops, restaurants or the cinema.

It only takes 10 minutes to drive to Wellingborough station, with trains reaching St Pancras in around 55 minutes.

Families will be pleased to see that Irthlingborough Infant and Junior Schools, along with Huxlow Science College, are all within a short drive and rated “Good” by Ofsted at the last inspection.

For active families who want a change from the Lakes & Meadows, Stanwick Lakes is just 11 minutes away for more cycling, walking trails and weekend café stops.

If you are looking for an immaculate, flexible detached home in a quiet setting where children can grow up with green space around them, this one deserves a closer look.
