A handsome period house occupying a prominent position in picturesque South Northamptonshire village
Description
The Red House is a historic and characterful home situated in a central spot within the village of Eydon and features far-reaching views over rolling countryside. Believed to date from 1897 and having previously been a shop, it is now a distinctive and spacious home occupying a prominent position on the High Street. It offers a wealth of charm and architectural interest with generously proportioned and versatile accommodation, good ceiling height and an abundance of natural light. A lower ground floor offers potential for a variety of uses.
Rich in period detail, the house retains many attractive character features that contribute to its warm and welcoming atmosphere. A charming reception hall with wooden floor provides access to a useful study and also double doors open into a wonderfully light and characterful family room which features a delightful balcony, providing an ideal spot for alfresco dining. Adjoining is the characterful kitchen, which includes quite unique timber wall and base units, as well as a useful breakfast station area.
A real focal point of the house is the open plan sitting room and dining room which feature an abundance of natural light. The room includes extensive wood panelling, with a special area for formal dining closest to the kitchen. This opens into a generous sitting room, which enjoys delightful elevated views across the surrounding countryside, creating an ever-changing backdrop throughout the seasons.
The first floor features a generous triple aspect principal bedroom with a dressing area and en suite bathroom; two further well-proportioned double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The lower ground floor provides particularly versatile accommodation, lending itself to a variety of lifestyles and requirements. A flexible room with double doors into the garden can serve equally well as a fourth bedroom, a self-contained annexe area, guest accommodation or a dedicated home office, making the property especially appealing for modern family life and hybrid working. There is also a large ground floor hallway, which has been used as a gym and a utility room with a WC.
The property also benefits from a charming, low maintenance courtyard garden offering a private area to relax and unwind, with a useful storage area below the adjoining balcony and a separate storage room.
