The Property
7 Chace Road is a fantastic – and chain-free – opportunity to get on the ladder, move from a flat to a house or add to a portfolio. The current owner has recently refreshed the property, laying new carpets, touching up the kitchen and tidying the outside so it’s ready for new owners. While recently refreshed, the Victorian home has character features such as exposed floorboards, high ceilings, sash windows, and a fireplace in each reception room.
The reception rooms are both a great size, giving flexibility in how you use them, whether you’d like living and dining rooms, two lounges, or distinct rooms for different activities. They’re connected spaces now, flowing into each other, but you could easily add double doors for separation if preferred. You could also add built-in storage to the alcoves either side of the fireplaces.
The kitchen at the back of the accommodation is in a traditional farmhouse style, with wood cabinetry and worktops, a ceramic Belfast sink, tiled flooring and splashbacks, as well as a range cooker. There’s also an integrated fridge/freezer, plus space for three further appliances. The deep cupboard under the stairs acts as a large pantry, with shelving already in place.
To the first floor are two double bedrooms and a bathroom. The four-piece bathroom is fitted with a Sanitan suite, with both a shower cubicle and a freestanding bath. The tiling fits the architectural period, with white brick tiles on the walls and black-and-white marble-effect on the floor.
Last but not least, the property benefits from a fully boarded loft for ample storage, accessed via ladder from the landing.
The Plot
The plot at 7 Chace Road includes a good-sized rear garden, facing south for lots of sun. It has a patio, lawn, beds ready for planting, and a paved area at the end with a brick-built barbeque and space for a shed. A mature wisteria by the patio creates a lovely, leafy spot for a table and chairs to enjoy morning coffees and evening drinks. The garden has real Victorian vibes, with low walled boundaries to the sides, and a gate to a shared alleyway behind for access round the back.
The front of the plot is paved, with a gated pathway to the tiled porch. There’s space to store bins and bikes, and to add pots for planting and colour if you like.
Parking is available on the road (permit required Monday–Friday 9am–12pm), although a car isn’t a necessity with all you could need so close by…
The Position
Chace Road sits on the eastern edge of Wellingborough. The position is perfect if you commute, being only a 7-minute walk to the station. Services from Wellingborough reach London St Pancras in as little as 44 minutes, so you can be in the capital in less than an hour from your front door. Services go down to Bedford or up to Corby in around 15 minutes, or you can drive to these town centres in around half an hour. Driving to Northampton or Kettering will take you 15–20 minutes, and you’re also only a 30–40-minute drive from Milton Keynes.
On the doorstep of Chace Road is Nene Court, a collection of independent shops and businesses including cafés, fitness facilities, salons, boutiques, a bookshop, even a wine and cheese shop. There’s a bit of everything, and mooching around here is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon.
Wellingborough town centre is also a short walk from the address. Within 10–15 minutes, you could be sat in the audience at the Castle Theatre, shopping at the Swansgate, or having coffee, dinner or drinks with friends at one of the many establishments. The walk into town takes you through Castlefields Park, while Wellingborough has multiple parks and greenspaces to explore. Irchester Country Park is within a short drive, an easy cycle or a half-hour stroll of Chace Road, and there are riverside and waterside wanders aplenty along the Nene and around the various local lakes.
