5 bed detached house for sale

The Nurseries, Horton, Northampton NN7

The Vinery is a unique split level family home located within the former walled gardens of the historic Horton Hall Estate, offered to the market with no onward chain. Approached via The Drive, one of the area's most sought-after residential addresses, The Vinery is an immaculately presented home surrounded by beautifully landscaped mature gardens.

Originally built in the 1970's, the property offers versatile accommodation arranged across three levels, with a design that embraces natural light and a strong connection to the surrounding gardens. Throughout, there is a wonderful sense of openness, while the layout provides both flexibility and separation for modern family life.

The welcoming entrance hall forms the heart of the home, where an open-tread hardwood staircase provides a striking architectural focal point and links each level. A modern cloakroom and built-in coats cupboard add practicality, while the bedrooms are located on this floor, creating a natural distinction from the living spaces above.

The main bedroom is bright and generously proportioned, enjoying outlooks over both the front and rear gardens. An extensive range of solid wood fitted wardrobes provide excellent storage and are complemented by a contemporary en-suite shower room. Three further double bedrooms complete this level, including one with fitted wardrobes and a vanity unit with wash basin, providing useful additional facilities for family members and guests. These rooms are served by a luxurious family bathroom with bath and shower cubicle.

The upper floor is devoted to the superb family living spaces, where an impressive dual-aspect sitting room forms the centrepiece of the house. Flooded with natural light, the room is defined by a lofty, vaulted timber ceiling and a contemporary fireplace, glazed sliding doors open onto a south-facing decked terrace ideal for relaxing or dining. Mature surrounding trees create a notably private setting, affording a sense of seclusion despite the elevated position. Adjoining the sitting room, the dining room enjoys an attractive outlook across the rear garden and connects to the kitchen through a wide feature opening. The arrangement allows conversation, movement and serving to flow naturally between the two spaces while retaining the character and practicality of separate rooms. The kitchen is thoughtfully planned and fitted with an extensive range of contemporary units, making excellent use of the available space, together with a Bosch double oven, gas hob and integrated appliances.

On the lower level, a spacious room currently used as a home office benefits from excellent natural light and direct access to the garden through French doors. Equally suited as a family room, guest accommodation or fifth bedroom, it offers valuable flexibility to suit changing needs. Adjacent is a substantial utility/boot room with fitted units and space for further appliances. There is also access to the integral double garage with electric door.

A defining feature of The Vinery is it's exceptional garden. Enclosed by the historic estate walls and professionally landscaped, the south-east-facing rear and side gardens provide a remarkable sense of privacy and tranquillity. Sweeping Lawns are framed by established borders, specimen trees, mature shrubs and climbing roses, creating colour and interest throughout the seasons. The garden has been designed to be enjoyed from a variety of perspectives with a series of distinct areas. A large paved patio with shaded seating, a pergola-covered seating area, a charming thatched summerhouse and an ornamental pond with water features each offer their own atmosphere and outlook. A distinctive hexagonal timber-framed greenhouse adds further interest, while a further greenhouse and garden shed are discreetly positioned to the side of the property.

To the front, the garden is laid mainly to lawn and bordered by mature trees, shrubs and established planting. A generous driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to the integral double garage.

The Vinery presents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of individuality in one of the area's most sought-after locations, combining versatile accommodation, architectural interest and beautifully established gardens.
