Four Bedroom Character Cottage For Sale in Braunston.

This four bedroom character cottage in the heart of Braunston with a large mature rear garden, two reception rooms with log burners, re-fitted kitchen and plenty of original charm throughout is offered for sale with No Upper Chain and within walking distance of village amenities.

There’s something about cottages like this that immediately feels welcoming, the combination of exposed beams, brick fireplaces and slightly uneven character that newer homes simply cannot replicate, or perhaps it’s the fact this cottage also manages to offer genuinely practical family space and charm.

Located just off the High Street in the heart of Braunston village this is a home that feels settled, comfortable and ready to move straight into whilst still retaining all the period features you would expect in a character property there is also plenty of opportunity to add your own touch.

The cottage offers a really nice balance between character and a usability modern twist. Some period homes can feel compromised by their age, but this one works surprisingly well for modern day living.

The dining room immediately sets the scene. Exposed ceiling beams, a brick built fireplace with cast burner and plenty of natural warmth give the room a cosy, lived in feel without feeling dark or cramped. It is the sort of room that could suit a quieter evening or entertaining.

The main lounge is a particularly attractive space, stretching over 20 feet in length, it has plenty of flexibility for both everyday family life and entertaining.

The exposed beams continue through this room, complemented by timber flooring and another impressive brick fireplace with log burner creating a real focal point. The double doors opening directly onto the garden helping to bring the outside in nicely during the warmer summer months.

The kitchen has been updated and re-fitted with Shaker style units, oak worktops and tiled splashbacks, giving the kitchen a contemporary feel whilst still sitting comfortably within the style of the cottage. The range cooker space works particularly well here and the rear door provides direct access out to the garden.

There is also the added practicality of a downstairs cloakroom which is always useful in homes of this age.

Upstairs, the property offers three genuine double bedrooms along with a fourth single bedroom which would work equally well as a nursery, dressing room or home office depending on requirements.

The main bedroom is especially attractive with its decorative fireplace, sash-style window and soft neutral décor giving it a calm, characterful feel.

The family bathroom has an unusual split-level layout which adds further personality to the home whilst still remaining practical day-to-day.

The recent addition of solar panels helps reduce the running costs of the electric storage heating, making the property a strong option for environmentally conscious buyers. Furthermore this property also benefits from double glazing throughout.

To the rear, a large private and mature rear garden, is far larger than many buyers would expect from a village cottage in this central position. Immediately behind the house is a paved seating area ideal for outdoor dining, while further up the garden the space opens out into lawned areas with mature planting, shrubs, trees and additional seating areas.

The stone walling and established greenery give the garden a lovely sense of maturity and privacy, making it feel far more established than many modern gardens.
