Description
An incredible and rare opportunity to purchase an exciting project comprising a substantial detached family home situated on approximately one-third of an acre plot in the heart of the highly desirable village of Stoke Bruerne. The accommodation extends to 4,300 sq ft over two floors, plus a second full height floor offering approximately 1,573 sq ft of accommodation, subject to further permission. Planning permission was granted by West Northants Council, 2024/2163/FULL, and has been implemented to the extent that the structure is up, leaving the prospective purchaser to complete the internal works and external doors.
Stoke Bruerne - The popular historic village of Stoke Bruerne is set in the heart of rural Northamptonshire with most of the homes and buildings in the village over 200 years old. In and around Stoke Bruerne you will find the Blisworth Tunnel, historic locks and bridges, a weighing machine, winding hole and traditional canal pubs. The village primary school offers a small and friendly environment with other primary and secondary schools in the local area.
Stoke Bruerne is ideally situated near the A508 and A5 providing good access to the A43, M1 and M40. Train stations at Milton Keynes and Northampton offer services to London Euston with journey times of around 35 minutes and 50 minutes respectively.
Just over 4 miles way is the vibrant market town of Towcester which boasts independent shops and facilities from fresh foods, gifts, jewellery, accessories and clothes to delicious food on offer from the great restaurants and cafes.
Sporting activities in the area include rugby, hockey, tennis, netball and cricket at the nearby Towcestrians Sports Club, golf at Silverstone and Whittlebury Hall, and of course the world famous motor racing at Silverstone.
Ground Floor - The approved plans propose a porch, large entrance hall, huge "live-in" kitchen, enormous family room, sitting room, games room, study, boot room/utility, cloakroom.
First Floor - The approved plans propose a master suite, including a walk-in-wardrobe, dressing room, and large en-suite bathroom. There are five further generous bedrooms, two with en-suites, and a family bathroom. Any prospective purchaser can redesign the layout, which we understand can be done without revisiting planning.
Second Floor - There is an equivalent, full-height attic space, extending to approximately 1,573 sq ft, which could be accessed via a conventional staircase, we advise any prospective purchaser to seek approval from the Planning Department before developing this further.
Outside - There is a new vehicular access to be created off Bridge Road, which will provide off road parking for several vehicles. Extending to approximately one third of an acre, the plot is generous, mature, and surprisingly private yet central to this highly desirable village.
Community Infrastructure Levy (Cil) - The current owners applied for and were granted a self-build exemption. Any prospective purchaser should make their own enquiries with West Northamptonshire Council as to the implications of this before commitment to purchase.
