Property description
This ground-floor, character apartment for sale on the stunning Whilton Lodge Manor Estate, Norton, Near Daventry, will make a fantastic home, weekend or weekday retreat and is also an ideal \"lock up and leave\" in a safe and tranquil countryside location.
The apartment is quirky and characterful, benefits include many original features such as high ceilings, original wooden window shutters, picture rails, a stone fireplace with a wood burner and a spiral staircase to the bedroom area - to name just a few. The main living area is bright and has a very spacious feel, why not take a look around and you will see what we mean.
Although compact, it does benefit from a fantastic lounge area with a large bay window which, overlooks the beautifully maintained grounds of Whilton Lodge. This converted country residence which dates back to 1867 was originally built for a Mr Thomas Craven, unfortunately you cannot buy the whole lodge but the part you can buy, is simply stunning.
Whilton Lodge and the grounds are approximately two miles from the village of Norton just off the A5 so commuter links to the M1, A5 and A45 are good and the nearest mainline train station is Long Buckby, which is just a short drive away. London is just an hour away by train!
The approach to Whilton Lodge is down a beautiful tree-lined driveway. You will have access to five acres of very well maintained grounds to roam around. There are also many bridal paths and the Grand Union Canal is just down the road with walks along the canal banks, very popular.
Ideally suited as a weekend or weekday retreat but if you are an investor looking to increase your portfolio, then there is likely to be a waiting list of good quality tenants waiting to occupy this little gem.
