Full Details
A detached Victorian cottage with three double bedrooms located on a large, corner plot in the sought-after south Northamptonshire village of Everdon. This distinctive family home benefits from stunning, countryside views and occupies a good-sized plot which extends to approximately 0.14 acres. There is a delightful cottage style front garden with gated access from an open green with brick boundary walls and well-tended shrubs and flowers. The deceptively large rear garden has vehicular access with off-road parking for several cars and a large double garage and workshop with power and lighting.
Location:
The small village of Everdon is located within a valley surrounded by rolling Northamptonshire countryside, with the beautiful Woodlands of Mantles Heath and Everdon Stubbs just a short walk away.
The village has a deep history and is mentioned in a charter dated AD 944. At the time of the doomsday book (1086) Everdon belonged to the Bishop of Bayeaux and later became the property of the Benedictine Abbey of Bernay in the Eure département of Normandy.
The church of St Mary, which dates back to the fourteenth century, and which has historical links to the Benedictine Abbey and Eton College, holds services of Holy Communion twice a month.
The old school at Everdon is now an outdoor learning centre providing environmental activities for groups of children. and the village pub, The Plough Inn, offers a warm welcome with top-notch traditional ales and fine dining.
The nearby market town of Daventry provides a good array of amenities, and Long Buckby Railway Station, with direct trains to London Euston and Birmingham New Street, is just a 15-minute drive away.
Everdon and the neighbouring hamlet of Little Everdon will appeal to house hunters seeking a quiet rural existence without having to drive for more than a few minutes to access most of the necessities of modern life.
