A Lovely Period Farmhouse Within A Sought After Village With Garaging, Stabling And Paddocks

The property
Wyggeston Farm House, which is unlisted and likely dates from the 1800’s, is situated in a prime position, tucked away, within the beautiful conservation village of King’s Norton. The house has a low brick wall to the front and is well set back from the road. The front door, via a porch, opens into a generous hallway with the stairs rising to the left.

The main reception rooms all run from the hall and include a 31ft sitting room with a working fireplace, triple aspect and sliding door opening garden, a dining room with a glass door and glazed side panels, and the kitchen. The kitchen has a range of farmhouse style units, a Rayburn Royal and a Neff oven and grill. Beyond the kitchen is a boiler/utility room and adjacent a boot room with a cloakroom, built-in cupboard and back door which opens onto the yard.

From the hall, the stairs rise to a generous landing which would accommodate a home office area or could be incorporated to produce another bedroom. The principal bedroom is across the hall and to the eastern end of the house and has two built-in cupboards and a fireplace and leads through to large bathroom with a bath and shower. Adjacent the principal bedroom is a WC and basin with a built-in cupboard. Across the hall is bedroom 3 which is a large double and connects through to bedroom 2, another double. The remaining bedroom is a single and abuts a family shower room.

It is anticipated a purchaser may well wish to update and rearrange the layout of the first floor.

Outside
The garden wraps around the house, and a low wall boundary to the front and high mature hedging to the side provide privacy from neighbours. To the front and south-west, the garden is mainly set to lawn with two lovely mature pine trees along the border. Beyond this is a more formal part of the garden which is intensely planted with perennials and bordered by box balls. A wooden garden house, painted egg-shell blue, overlooks this area and takes in the afternoon and early evening sun.

Entry to the yard is via a five-bar gate to the right of the house, leading to a tarmacked driveway and hardstanding which provides access to the garaging and stabling. This consists of two large single garages and a double garage, two stables and a store room. A separate stable block of two Scotts of Thrapston stables sits to the other side of the yard.

Bisecting the two buildings is a five-bar field gate providing access to the paddocks beyond which amount to about 4.5 acres. These paddocks are split into two at present and both have water. The
boundary is bordered by mature hedging and there is further access, via a five-bar field gate, to the north-west side from the Stoughton Road.

To the western corner of the paddocks is a quarter of an acre of woodland with a pond in its western corner. This woodland consists of mainly English woodland trees interspersed with woodland flowers and provides a superb sanctuary for wildlife.
