A unique and exciting opportunity has arisen to acquire this exclusive plot

measuring just under one acre that backs onto the rolling Twywell Hills and Dales,

on which stands a detached house which now incorporates a carefully

converted Butcher’s shop, an expansive Grade II listed barn with planning permission granted to convert to a four bed separate dwelling, and an expansive

plot with further development potential, STPP. Alternatively there is also the option to run a business from the barn and outbuildings which could function as workshops/ storage use.

The main house, The Gables is a fully refurbished Victorian property set back from the street. It occupies a prominent, central position within the idyllic and peaceful village of Twywell.

Offered to the market with no onward chain, the main dwelling has since been

fully restored and renovated to a high standard, to include rewiring, plastering, and a

gas central heating system, whilst continuing to showcase a unique

combination of both character and contemporary features, making it the

perfect family home with its spacious living spaces, quiet location and generous

outside space.

Internally, the versatile accommodation comprises an impressive

kitchen/ family room, three spacious reception rooms, a garden room, utility

room, guest w/c, five double bedrooms, a separate w/c and a re-fitted family

bathroom. The fifth bedroom also has the potential to be converted into an

additional bathroom with plumbing already in place.

Dating back to circa 16th century, the stone-built barn and The Gables

comprise over 5,254 square foot of residential space. If the new owners wish to develop a separate dwelling out of the barn (as specified in the granted planning), this would also provide vehicular access to the plot of land to the back of the property, giving further development opportunity subject to additional planning.

*Further information including the plans, drawings and guidelines for the

proposed barn dwelling can be found on the North Northamptonshire Council

website using the planning reference: 20/01478/FUL
