Guild House estate agents are proud to offer for sale this impressive stone built property set in the heart of the highly desirable village of Kilsby which nestles on the Warwickshire and Northamptonshire borders.
Boasting just under 2000 square feet of beautifully maintained accommodation, 'The Gables' dates back as far as the late 17th century and retains a wealth of original features throughout. Although the property still offers the potential to extend further subject to the necessary consent, this gorgeous character home currently provides deceptively spacious and versatile accommodation across three floors and having been tastefully updated it offers the best of modern family living whilst retaining all of it's historic integrity. In brief the accommodation comprises: entrance porch with grand double doors and tiled floor, leading through from an imposing solid timber front door into a well proportioned living room with wood burning stove, exposed floorboards, original ceiling beams and french doors onto the patio. The ground floor continues through to the rear hallway which leads off to a good sized dining room which additionally plays host to the families 'music corner'...and perfect home for the piano! There's a refitted cloakroom/w.c and completing the ground floor is a fantastic breakfast kitchen which is fitted with a comprehensive range of cream 'shaker' style units and complimented by solid oak work surfaces, Belfast sink, reclaimed scaffold shelving and, a 'must have' for any country house is the 'Aga' style range cooker. A quaint window seat finishes off the 'heart of this home' perfectly.
To the first floor the large landing leads off to three generous double bedrooms all featuring exposed beams, reclaimed doors and one of which benefits from built in wardrobes and is currently being used as a home office. The stylish family bathroom boasts a traditional roll top bath, separate shower enclosure and original exposed floorboards. To the second floor there's a stunning master bedroom suite with bespoke built in wardrobes and a refitted ensuite shower room. Internally the property further benefits from oil fired central heating and double glazed windows.
Externally the property doesn't disappoint either with a south facing rear garden which offers a huge degree of privacy, mainly laid to lawn and stocked with mature shrubs, planted borders, raised vegetable beds and a large timber shed. Steps lead down from the lawn to a generous patio area and gated access to the gravelled hard standing where there is secure parking for two vehicles.
The Gables is perfectly positioned offering the best of both worlds, blending urban and village living seemlessly. Although this charming period property is set in pretty Northamptonshire countryside it is ideally located. For the occasional commute there's easy access to M1/M6//A5 and Rugby train station is only a fifteen minute drive offering a regular 50 minute service into London Euston. You are just a short drive away from Rugby, Northampton and Daventry town centres but picturesque village life is right outside on your doorstep with beautiful countryside walks at every turn as well having a choice of other pretty Warwickshire and Northamptonshire villages close by to explore. Kilsby itself boasts some great facilities, for those working from home there is super high speed broadband, and amenities including the ever popular Red Lion public house, well stocked community shop, play area and a highly regarded primary school.
This gorgeous period property must be viewed to fully appreciate the space and versatility it has to offer
