A BESPOKE HOME ON TANNERS LANE

DETACHED HOME | FOUR BEDROOMS | SPLIT LEVEL LIVING | BESPOKE KITCHEN | SOUTH FACING GARDENS | DOUBLE GARAGE | MASTER BEDROOM WITH EN SUITE | SOUGHT AFTER VILLAGE LOCATION | BEAUTIFULLY UNIQUE

Tanners Lane makes an impression before you’ve even reached the front door.

Set back behind a brick paved frontage with a substantial double garage and parking for several vehicles, this bespoke detached home occupies one of Corby Glen’s most sought after residential roads.

And once you’re inside, it gets even more interesting.

The current owners have lived here for nine years and, rather wonderfully, the feature that first sold the house to them isn’t necessarily the one they love most today. On their first viewing, it was the dramatic split level living room and high ceiling that caught their attention. These days, the kitchen has become the true heart of the home.

Both tell you something about this house.

THE LIVING SPACE

The main living room is a generous 4.40m x 7.72m, with a striking high ceiling, large windows bringing in light from multiple directions and a wood burning stove with a built in log store.

It’s a fantastic entertaining space, while an adjoining snug or second sitting room provides somewhere a little more relaxed. This could also be separated completely from the living room if a future owner wanted two individual rooms.

THE KITCHEN

Reworked in 2018, the kitchen was created by removing the wall between the original kitchen and adjoining room, transforming the space into a generous 6.51m x 4.96m kitchen and dining area.

A slate grey island with oak worktop sits at the centre, alongside a good run of units and double fitted ovens.

This is where the current owners spend most of their time, and it’s easy to see why. The space is bright, warm and comfortable, with French doors opening straight onto the patio and garden beyond.

A separate utility room, useful pantry and downstairs WC complete the ground floor.

FOUR BEDROOMS

Upstairs, bedroom one is particularly impressive, with plenty of space for a dressing area and a well appointed en suite.

Bedrooms Two and Three are both generous doubles, while Bedroom Four is currently arranged as a fitted dressing room.

All of the bedrooms overlook the rear gardens, creating a peaceful and private feel.

THE GARDENS

The gardens are arguably one of the property’s biggest surprises.

South facing and arranged over several levels, there are multiple areas to enjoy throughout the day, from the patio directly outside the kitchen to the raised decked seating area further up the garden.

The lower garden becomes particularly private during the summer months, while the elevated upper garden sits above the sightline of neighbouring properties and catches the sun well into the evening.

There are further garden areas beyond this, including a private spot in front of the living room which the current owners use to enjoy the evening sun.

The upper garden also offers plenty of flexibility, with space for children’s play equipment, additional parking or a motorhome, subject to any necessary permissions. There is even potential to extend the first floor or create a garden pod in this area.

THE PRACTICAL BITS

The property provides approximately 196m² of accommodation, with a substantial 44m² double garage.

Built in the mid 1980s, the home has been thoughtfully updated, including the kitchen in 2018 and boiler in 2017. Heating is oil fired central heating with a sealed system, and the loft is boarded with an integral ladder.

Solid oak flooring runs throughout the house, while broadband is excellent and the current owners have successfully worked from home here.

CORBY GLEN

The location is a huge part of the appeal.

Corby Glen offers the convenience of village life without feeling isolated, with shops, cafés, a hairdresser, local garage, two GP surgeries and a pharmacy all within walking distance.

And then there is Tanners Lane itself, one of the village’s most desirable residential roads.

This is a home that doesn’t quite fit the usual mould. It’s spacious, distinctive and full of little details that reveal themselves as you move through it.
