Home Farm, West Haddon is a gem in the rolling Northamptonshire countryside – that unique, perfect combination of fabulous property and idyllic location that rarely reach the open market. If your wish list includes a beautiful home with high specifications, a kitchen to entertain, stunning reception rooms with 360 degree views across rolling hills, stabling and paddocks for the horses, woodland and wildlife pond, plus seating areas all around the house to make the most of good weather and views at all times of the day, less than an hour on the train from central London and close to the M1/M6 motorway network and easy commuting distance to Birmingham, Northampton and Leicester, look no further.
Sympathetic Rennovation
The property, originally the Gardener’s Cottage in the grounds of The Manor House, has been beautifully and sympathetically developed from the core of the old cottage with state-of-the-art extensions, built from the bricks reclaimed from the other houses within the Manor House estate, fully renovated and decorated. The kitchen has a 10ft island made from Pippy Oak, an Aga that heats one of the water cisterns, forming part of the carefully thought out heating and water systems. The reception rooms are spacious and bright and the windows throughout the downstairs are 4mm thick, double glazed panes, housed on locally cast sills, filling every room with natural light – whist retaining warmth in the colder months. Two wood burning stoves (one of which is double fronted into two separate rooms), provide a cosy addition to the effective central heating system when the nights draw in.
Gardens & Paddocks
Home Farm has a cottage garden with raised beds to grow vegetables, trees to provide privacy, a pond with unique water feature, wildflower borders and private sweeping driveway. The stable blocks are currently used as offices, storerooms, and a party room on one side whilst stabling horses on the other. Located in one of the most active equestrian communities in the UK, the area provides everything a keen rider could wish for. From traditional countryside pursuits to livery yards, fantastic bridleways through local villages or hacking trails immediately out into the countryside, an equestrian arena only 5 minutes’ drive away available for hire as well as show jumping facilities nearby at Onley.
