Location - Staverton is a highly regarded village in West Northamptonshire, located just over 2 miles west of Daventry along the A425, with easy access to the M1, M6, and M40. Situated close to the Warwickshire border and 16 miles from Royal Leamington Spa, the village combines rural charm with excellent connectivity for commuters.
As a designated conservation area, Staverton is surrounded by unspoilt countryside and retains a picturesque, village character. Local amenities include the well-regarded Staverton Church of England Primary School, the Countryman pub and restaurant, a thriving village hall - see agents notes for more on the hall, and Staverton Park Hotel & Golf Club with leisure facilities. Skylark Weddings & Events on the outskirts provides an attractive venue for special occasions.
The village offers a tranquil lifestyle while remaining well-connected. London Euston is reachable in under an hour from Rugby, and other regional towns are easily accessible, making Staverton an ideal choice for those seeking a peaceful village setting with modern conveniences nearby.
Ground Floor - From the road, enter this attractive stone property via the porch into a welcoming hallway, where stairs rise to the first floor. A door leads into the living room, featuring a fabulous original inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove, exposed beams and a charming window seat overlooking the front of the property, creating a wonderfully cosy atmosphere.
Also off the hallway is the dining/breakfast room, complete with recently fitted banquette seating beneath the window and a second wood-burning stove, making it an ideal space for both everyday dining and entertaining.
The recently fitted bespoke Shaker-style kitchen is located to the rear of the property and is beautifully appointed with a Belfast sink, a striking dark red Rangemaster cooker with double oven and grill, matching extractor hood and integrated microwave. The kitchen also offers pan drawers, pantry cupboards and a ceramic tiled floor. Steps rise from the kitchen to bi-fold doors opening onto the patio and garden, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. The heating is controlled by a geo-fencing system via a smartphone app, creating a virtual boundary around the home that automatically lowers the temperature when you leave and warms it as you return, providing both comfort and energy efficiency. In addition, there is a utility room with space for white goods and a Belfast sink with drainer, while a downstairs cloakroom is neatly positioned beyond a barn-style sliding door.
First Floor - Stairs rise from the hallway to the landing, where original oak beams add further character and charm. From here, doors lead to the stunning principal bedroom, which features oak flooring, recently fitted green Sharps wardrobes and a window to the front aspect.
A further spacious double bedroom also benefits from oak flooring and fitted Sharps wardrobes, while the third bedroom is a good-sized single with a window overlooking the rear.
The fully tiled family bathroom is well appointed with a walk-in wet room-style shower, a jacuzzi bath, and fitted storage incorporating a hand basin and WC.
Outside - The bi-fold doors open onto an attractive paved seating area, perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining. Steps lead up to an artificial lawn, creating a low-maintenance garden space. The private garden is enclosed by a combination of stone walls and fencing, and features raised flower borders and a useful garden shed.
Agents Note - Additional information about the property, including details of utility providers, is available upon request. Please contact the agent for further details.
If buildings could talk they would be able to give us some fascinating insights into the social history of an area and none more so than the Village Hall here in Staverton, Northants. Built in 1934/5 it has been at the centre of village life, not just geographically but socially as a venue for celebrations of birthdays, weddings, christenings and a place to meet and remember and celebrate the lives of villagers who have passed away. On a weekly basis the fighting fit, and those that wish they were, meet to learn about yoga and dance fitness. There is our resident dancing school where aspiring Freds and Gingers can come to learn all the ballroom and Latin moves that look so easy on Strictly Come Dancing. The WI meet monthly to chat, discuss, make friends, listen to guest speakers, plan outings and events with refreshments of course. The Parish Council meet monthly to discuss the issues that concern the upkeep and appearance of the village and its surroundings. The Church, lacking a hall of its own, have in the past held events like the harvest lunch and we use it to practice our choral music when the Staverton Singers get together at Christmas and times of celebration.
The Hall is completely self-funding. All the costs of upkeep and maintenance have to be met by the Committee, either from letting revenue or from events that we organise, from the generous yearly donations of villagers and from the Village Tote.
In 2005 the Committee raised a staggering £86,000 through fund raising, grants and donations to give the Hall a huge makeover. It was transformed from a drab, leaking, unpleasant place to be into the warm, bright, airy space. In 2019 the hall was again completely redecorated and the appliances were replaced. We are very proud of it, and very proud and grateful to the legion of villagers who have served on the Committee since 1935 maintaining the Hall as a vibrant, vital focal point of our village.
