Description
Ivy House, Northamptonshire – A Majestic Georgian home in an Idyllic Setting
Nestled within approximately one acre of enchanting gardens and surrounded by rolling countryside, Ivy House is a truly exceptional Grade II listed Georgian farmhouse offering timeless elegance and luxurious living.
Occupying a prime position in one of Northamptonshire’s most sought-after rural locations, Ivy House has been meticulously maintained and sympathetically enhanced to create a substantial family home of over beautifully blends period character with contemporary comfort.
Accommodation
Upon entering the home, one is immediately struck by the grand entrance hall, where traditional flagstone and solid wood flooring set the tone for the exquisite interiors that follow. The principal reception rooms, thoughtfully laid out for both formal entertaining and relaxed family living, exude period charm. The formal dining room is particularly captivating, featuring exposed beams, rich solid wood floors, and a magnificent inglenook fireplace with an original bread oven — an atmospheric setting for elegant gatherings.
At the heart of the home lies the expansive kitchen and breakfast room, designed for modern family living. A central island with bar seating and an integrated booth provides a social hub, flowing seamlessly into the adjoining vaulted family room with exposed brickwork and direct access to the terrace and gardens beyond.
The kitchen is impeccably appointed with bespoke hand-painted cabinetry, granite worktops, and a suite of premium integrated appliances, including AEG ovens, a Bosch dishwasher, Kuppersbusch hob, and a Grohe boiling water tap, all set over underfloor-heated limestone flagstone flooring.
The versatile layout continues across the upper floors. The principal suite offers a true private retreat, with two walk-in dressing rooms, a luxurious ensuite, and a charming bay window framing uninterrupted garden and countryside views. Two further bedrooms and a Jack and Jill bathroom complete the first floor, while the second floor provides three additional generously proportioned bedrooms, one with ensuite facilities, and a further family bathroom.
Gardens and Grounds
Approached via a shared long sweeping driveway accessed through electronically operated gates, Ivy House immediately impresses with its grand arrival experience. A central water fountain provides an elegant focal point on the gravelled driveway.
The gardens have been designed to maximise the property’s glorious setting, offering expansive manicured lawns and a traditional Georgian sandstone terrace with balustrade.
The property further benefits from external lighting, water supplies, and a full CCTV security system. A Cat-6 Rako intelligent lighting system has been pre-installed to support future smart home upgrades.
Ivy House is connected to mains services (electricity, water, sewers, drainage) and benefits from LPG heating and hot water.
Furthermore, there is the option for a separate driveway to be reinstated.
