Location - Hellidon is a peaceful and attractive village set in the rolling Northamptonshire countryside, just 6 miles from Daventry. Known for its traditional stone properties and scenic surroundings, the village offers a quiet rural lifestyle with a strong sense of community.
The village features a well-regarded pub (The Red Lion), an active village hall, and a historic church, all contributing to a welcoming community atmosphere. The nearby Hellidon Lakes Golf & Spa Hotel offers leisure and dining facilities, and the surrounding countryside provides excellent walking and cycling routes.
Despite its rural feel, Hellidon is well connected. Daventry, Banbury, and Rugby are all within easy reach, offering a range of shops, services, and rail links to London and Birmingham. The M1, M40, and A5 are also nearby for commuters.
A desirable location for families and professionals alike, Hellidon combines village charm with convenience and access to good local schools.

At the heart of the home is the spacious open-plan kitchen/family room.

A matching central island with gas hob, overhead extractor, and extra storage makes this a practical and sociable space. There's also a built-in pantry for added convenience. Off the kitchen, a side hallway leads to a cloakroom, boiler room, and a door to the outside, before linking back to the main entrance hall.

Outside - The property boasts generous driveway parking leading to a single garage, with a beautifully maintained front lawn framed by mature hedging for privacy. The lawn leads to the welcoming front door and convenient side access, where the discreetly placed oil tank is located. Access from roadside by two charming picket gates at both the front and rear add a touch of character.
To the rear, a landscaped space featuring a paved seating area, a rock water feature, and lawn. A gravel path meanders toward the far end of the garden, revealing a second peaceful seating area. With open fields beyond, the garden enjoys a scenic and tranquil backdrop.
