About this property

A 1933 pebbledash semi-detached house on Vicarage Close in the village of Whittlebury, just south of Towcester, lovingly held by the same family for fifty years and offered for sale by the executors following the death of the long-term owner. Extending to approximately 105 square metres, the house has been kept in its essentially original 1970s state — and offers an unusually intact mid-century interior, complete with original tiled fireplace, parquet hall, oak picture rails and a kitchen unrestored since around 1972. A buyer with vision will find the bones excellent. The original glazed front door opens to a tiled vestibule and then through to a generous entrance hall finished in restored herringbone parquet. To the front, a sitting room contains the original 1933 tiled fireplace in soft peach and grey ceramic with a small open grate; walls are papered in a faded period botanical print and the floor is laid with deep moss-green wool carpet. A formal dining room sits beyond the hall. The kitchen, refitted in 1972, retains its original butter-yellow timber tongue-and-groove cabinetry, slate-effect worktop and original freestanding gas cooker, with a quarry-tiled floor. The first floor accommodates three bedrooms with the original sashes and picture rails throughout, and an original 1930s bathroom in peach-coloured suite with black-and-white chequered floor tiles. Outside, the long south-facing rear garden has been kept simply — a level lawn, mature shrub borders, an original brick coal-store and a small garage at the rear via a side gate. Off-street parking for one car to the front. Freehold, council tax D, EPC E.
