Crick is a well-regarded west Northamptonshire village, situated close to the Warwickshire border and offering excellent access to the M1 (Junction 18), A5, A14 and A428. The nearby town of Rugby provides a mainline rail service to London Euston in under an hour, and the proposed Rugby Parkway station, located just beyond the nearby Houlton development, will offer further commuter convenience. Crick offers a strong sense of community with a Co-Op store, post office, pharmacy, and several public houses, as well as a community centre, sports field, children’s play area, and accessible woodland walks. The Grand Union Canal runs through the village and plays host each year to the popular Crick Boat Show.
Schooling in the area is a key attraction. Crick Primary School is rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted, and secondary schooling includes the popular Guilsborough Academy. Selective grammar options are available nearby, including Lawrence Sheriff School and Rugby High School, both accessed via the eleven-plus exam. Independent options include Pitsford School and the renowned Rugby School, one of the country's leading independent day and boarding schools. With its blend of historic character, local amenities and excellent transport links, Crick continues to attract families and professionals alike.

Kitchen
The main entrance is located on the left-hand side elevation, via a part-glazed door with a three-point locking mechanism, opening directly into the kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with a range of base and wall units featuring oak-effect doors and roll-top work surfaces, incorporating a stainless-steel sink and drainer with a chrome mixer tap. There is space for a freestanding cooker with an extractor hood positioned above. The floor is laid with marble-effect sheet vinyl, and the room is naturally lit by a large three-unit casement window to the side elevation. A former boiler cupboard, now providing additional storage, is lined with vertical pine tongue and groove boarding. Part-glazed doors lead to the central hallway and to a separate utility area.
Utility
Positioned at the front of the property, the utility area is fitted with a chamfered roll-top work surface, with space beneath for a freestanding appliance. A full-height, three-door cupboard houses the Worcester floor-mounted oil-fired boiler and the electric consumer unit, with shelving provided above for additional storage. There is a further built-in cupboard, formerly used to house the hot water cylinder, now fitted with full-height shelving. A door from the utility room leads directly into the main sitting room.
Sitting Room
The sitting/dining room is a generously proportioned space featuring a central coursed stone fireplace, which is currently blocked and vented. Natural light is provided by a segmental bay window with leaded lights to the front elevation. A flush timber door gives access to the central lobby.
Bedroom 1
A well-proportioned dual-aspect bedroom positioned to the rear right-hand side of the property, offering ample space for a double bed and freestanding furniture. This dual-aspect room benefits from excellent natural light via two large casement windows.
Bedroom 2
A further double bedroom located to the rear left-hand side of the property, featuring double-glazed uPVC French doors with matching full-height side casements opening directly onto the rear garden.
Shower Room
Accessed from the central lobby, the shower room is fitted with a three-piece suite comprising a shower cubicle with double sliding glass doors, a ceramic pedestal wash hand basin with chrome mixer tap, and a close-coupled WC. The floor is finished with marble-effect sheet vinyl, and the walls are fully tiled in ceramic. Natural light is provided by a frosted, top-hung casement window to the side elevation.
Front aspect
The property is set back from Marsons Drive and screened by established hedgerow, with a private front garden laid partly to lawn and incorporating central planted beds. A gravel driveway extends along the left-hand side of the plot, providing access to a detached sectional concrete garage and the rear garden beyond.
Rear Garden
The rear garden offers a private and secluded outdoor space, with concrete hardstanding, central raised planted beds, and established perimeter hedgerows screened by mature trees—including a prominent Cedar or Scots Pine situated on neighbouring land—which provide shelter and privacy. The boundaries are defined by close-board timber fencing, and the oil tank is positioned on a raised brick plinth to the rear of the garage. Patio doors from the principal bedroom open directly onto a paved seating area, creating a functional indoor–outdoor connection. The garden is currently overgrown and would benefit from general clearance and maintenance.
