Three Bedroom Semi-Detached Cottage With Detached Garage For Sale in Crick, Northamptonshire

Boasting a wealth of character and a unique sense of history, this Grade II listed 18th century stone cottage offers a warm and welcoming space for you to call home.

Located in the highly sought after village of Crick, this delightful property features charming period details such as exposed beams, low ceilings, and deep window sills. The thatched roof adds to its timeless beauty.

The property has been well loved and cared for over many years but does require some aesthetic updating, however recent updates to the property include a replacement electrical consumer unit installed in March 2021, complete woodworm treatment in January 2023, specialist repointing in 2022, and the garden wall was rebuilt in 2021.

We highly recommend watching the property video available on this page that shows a full internal and external tour of the property.

This Property Must Be Sold – £400,000 is a guide price, not an asking price.

It really is up to you to decide what you would like to pay for this property.

Please take the time to look at the condition and layout of the property before you book a viewing – plenty of pictures plus a video.

Have a good look at the internal photographs because whilst the property is marketed at an attractive guide price, you really must appreciate the work that needs to be done.

A great opportunity however, for someone to buy an attractively priced property in the sought-after village of Crick to create your very own new home.

We are looking for a buyer who can proceed and purchase quickly, so this property is not left vacant.

Here is a note from the family selling the property:

“There is no doubt that this house is a “requires modernisation” project, the kitchen needs replacing. The house was last bought in 1960, throughout the years the family put their own stamp on the property. They brought up their children there and as time moved on, welcomed the grandchildren too. It was a very much loved family home. It is now time for a new family to make this house their home. They will choose their own style and put their mark on the property. In return they will have a very individual dwelling, full of character that they will love.”

One of the biggest attractions to this property is the gated driveway with a detached, two-storey garage with double doors at the front and an attached outbuilding, providing ample space for storage, hobbies, or even potential conversion (subject to planning permissions.) This additional space is a rare find and offers endless possibilities. There is a pedestrian right of way through the driveway area for the rear property but this does not affect the enclosed garden. The actual space to park a vehicle is approximately 6m x 3.60m and the gate is approximately 3.3m wide.

Offering a high degree of privacy, the pretty walled garden features a lawn area and a further paved courtyard area adorned with an array of planted flowers and shrubs. A timber gate provides access to the side of the property to the driveway and outbuildings. There is also an outside WC (handy for any garden parties!)

The versatile accommodation includes three sizeable bedrooms, three reception rooms, and a downstairs bathroom with an upstairs shower room.

On the ground floor, you will also find a well-appointed bathroom, allowing for single-level living if desired. Those seeking convenience will appreciate the option of a downstairs bedroom or an additional comfortable space for guests. Currently, the downstairs offers a lounge, dining room, a study and kitchen. The rear reception room (currently used as a dining room) is a fantastic size, approximately 22 ft. It also has double doors leading out to the patio area.

The lounge has double doors and a multi-fuel log burner. A really cosy room that would be lovely during the evenings in colder months.

Two sets of stairs lead to the first floor: one to bedroom two, and the other to a landing that leads to bedroom one, the upstairs shower room, and the third bedroom. Bedroom One is a great size with dual aspect windows. Bedroom Two having its own staircase is also a nice feature. Bedrooms one and two also have built in storage.

Located in the heart of the village on the High Street, this characterful home is just a short walk from local amenities.

Crick is a sought-after village with a vibrant community spirit.

 

It offers the perfect village lifestyle with its many walks right on your doorstep, including Crack’s Hill, Millennium Wood and of course the beautiful Grand Union Canal.

 

You also have a local Co-op, Post Office and a choice of three pubs (The Wheatsheaf, Royal Oak, and The Red Lion – all within walking distance,) also there is the Ex-Servicemen’s Club (Crick Club) which is a great place to have a drink.

 

Pickle and Pie, the local deli does a fantastic range of breakfasts and lunches to eat in or take away – perfect if you’re working from home and want to nip somewhere for a coffee and a sandwich (their Scotch eggs are amazing too by the way!)

 

Crick also has many activity groups for the family including Cubs and Scouts, football, cricket, cycling and a local history group.

 

A lot of families move into Crick because it is a family friendly village and the surrounding schools are a huge attraction. Crick primary school is a short, safe walk away and there are many secondary schools within a few miles. 

Most children of secondary age in the village attend Guilsborough school; however, the two highly regarded, grammar schools, Lawrence Sheriff and Rugby High, are accessible through the eleven-plus examination, and there are further State-funded alternatives including Ashlawn in Hillmorton and the new secondary school at Houlton, to say nothing of the world famous, fee-paying Rugby School.

 

Crick is served by an excellent road network, being located within a couple of miles of Junction 18 on the M1 and only a few miles further from the M6 and the A14. Stations at Rugby and Long Buckby are both approximately seven miles away, they offer first-rate rail links to London and Birmingham.
