A detached, well proportioned chalet bungalow, with scope to enhance, is set on a good size corner plot with parking for multiple vehicles. Offered with no forward chain.
Threeways is a delightful chalet bungalow set on a corner plot in the ancient and charming village of Glapthorn, just two miles from the lively market town of Oundle. Oundle has further amenities: many shops and pubs, the prestigious Oundle School, library and a health centre. The whole area has excellent road and country-wide rail links through Peterborough and Corby.
This three-bedroom property, in a prime village setting, is ripe for exciting development, with the space for extension (subject to planning permission) or reconfiguring rooms on the ground floor to make a large kitchen-diner. The scope that this property gives for sympathetic updating would provide for an excellent and spacious family home with plenty of room to grow.
The property is set well back from the road and surrounded by hedging to give a very private and green aspect. A wide asphalt driveway, suitable for multiple cars, leads up the side of the house to the double garage, from which a small path leads to the front entrance.

Study
3.2m x 2.1m (10'5" x 6'10")Also leading off the hall, this useful small room, which has a window to the driveway, gives the scope to be part of the kitchen or could be used as a separate dining room, study or fourth bedroom.

There are shrubs and a lawn to the front, leading round past the front door to a back garden consisting mainly of a sloping lawn with a rose-bed.

What the vendors love about their home........
The current owners love the potential their home offers with the versatility for multiple lifestyles and families. Also the history of the site with the house built by a local builder in 1972 but in years gone by it was the site of a “chapel” and the animals watering troughs. The mission room can be seen on the 1899 Ordnance Survey map.
The property is just off the quiet B-road to Oundle and is named after the three roads it stands upon. Glapthorn has a church, a small and popular primary school and a playground, outdoor gym and playing field; also a thriving village hall at the centre of the village.
Winning the award for Northamptonshire’s 2019 Best Village Competition showed the villagers’ outgoing spirit for many different projects, initiatives and activities, and their keen friendliness in welcoming new residents.
