Five-bedroom Victorian villa with a walled garden, Abthorpe
Wappenham Road, Towcester, NN12 8QU
About this property
Set back behind a low stone wall and a pair of mature limes on the edge of the village of Abthorpe, this substantial red-brick villa has the generous proportions and quiet confidence of the 1880s. Stone mullions, deep skirtings and a sweeping return staircase survive throughout, and the rooms are arranged for family life rather than show. The heart of the house is a country kitchen in soft butter-yellow in-frame cabinetry built around a freestanding dual-fuel range, with a long pine table that has clearly hosted a great many suppers. Two formal receptions sit either side of the hall, one with an original cast-iron fireplace with patterned tiled cheeks, the other lined with bookshelves and opening to the garden. Five bedrooms occupy the upper two floors, the principal looking out over the walled garden to open country beyond. Outside, espaliered fruit, a gravelled terrace and a wide lawn are framed by old brick walls, with gated parking for three to the side.
