Property Features
Full Details
Details:
A two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow occupying a cul-de-sac position on the edge of a well-regarded rural village. The property is offered for sale with no onward chain as part of a housing association asset disposal programme and is sold as seen. It is in need of comprehensive refurbishment throughout and is likely to appeal to purchasers seeking a project with scope to improve and reconfigure, subject to the usual consents.
The accommodation is arranged over a single storey and comprises an entrance hall giving access to all principal rooms, including a well-proportioned sitting room to the rear with a garden outlook and open fireplace, and a kitchen with direct side access. There are two bedrooms, one of which benefits from built-in storage, together with a bathroom fitted with a three-piece suite. The existing layout is typical of its type and offers potential for alteration as part of a wider programme of works.
Externally, the property is set behind a private front garden enclosed by established hedging, with pathways leading to the entrance and gated access to the side and rear. The rear garden extends to in excess of 90 ft in depth and is enclosed by a mixture of hedging and fencing, now requiring attention in part. A brick-built outbuilding provides useful ancillary storage and is fitted with power and lighting.
Prospective purchasers are strongly advised to obtain independent surveys and inspections before submitting an offer.

Location:
The property is situated on Middlethorpe, a no-through lane on the edge of the rural village of Weedon Lois, in South Northamptonshire. The setting combines a distinctly rural character with open countryside immediately to hand, while remaining within practical reach of nearby market towns.
Weedon Lois is a small, well-established village with a parish church and a traditional public house, and enjoys a quiet, agricultural backdrop of rolling fields and paddock land. A wider range of everyday amenities can be found in the nearby market towns of Towcester and Brackley, both offering supermarkets, independent shops, medical facilities and leisure provision. More comprehensive retail and rail services are available in Northampton and Banbury.
The area is well regarded for schooling, with a number of primary schools in surrounding villages and secondary education available in Towcester and Sponne School’s catchment area (subject to confirmation). Independent preparatory and senior schools are also found within a reasonable driving distance.
For commuters, the A5 and A43 provide road links to the M1 (Junction 15a) and the wider motorway network. Mainline rail services operate from Northampton and Banbury, offering routes to London Euston and Birmingham.
