The Property
3 Knightlands Road is a real box-ticker. Built in the 1970s and refurbished over recent years, it balances the best of a traditional build with modern comforts and 21st-century style. The current owners have spent the last few years steadily transforming the property, including pricier updates like refitting the kitchen and shower room, practical improvements like installing Hive smart heating, and trendy touches like adding a media wall and painting the window frames. The home has been very well kept and is presented beautifully.
Being an older property, the rooms are generally bigger than you’d get with a newbuild. The hallway has space to hang coats and store shoes, the lounge fits a large corner sofa comfortably, and all three bedrooms have capacity for at least a double bed, definitely a king in the primary.
The second reception room is flexible, with plenty of space for toys and games if you’d like a play room for little ones, or the option for a dining table if you often entertain. Double doors into the lounge allow for a smooth transition from eating together at the table to chilling out in front of the fire. French doors onto the patio give instant access to the garden, ideal for summer days.
The kitchen is adjacent to the dining room, connected to activity, yet separate enough not to have the kids under your feet when cooking. There may be potential to knock into one open-plan space if preferred. Cabinets are sleek grey and white gloss, worktops are a textured wood effect, and appliances include dual ovens, a hob, a fridge/freezer and a dishwasher. There’s also a bar for casual breakfasts and coffee breaks, and an understairs pantry cupboard handy for hiding the hoover.
The part-converted garage off the kitchen presents extra accommodation, again flexible for various lifestyles. The front end is a dedicated utility area with fitted storage, while the owners use the back end as a hang-out space, with a bar for drinks and a screen for watching sports. This could well be an office, a hobby room or even a home salon – or could be reverted back to parking quite easily.
In the corner of the garage is a cloakroom, added by the owners for convenience. There’s a wc upstairs too, next to the stylish shower room (having the shower room separate keeps the wc free).
The Plot
The plot at 3 Knightlands Road is in an elevated position, with views across the town, over rooftops and to the church steeple. At the front of the plot is a driveway for two cars, with the garage behind an electric roller door.
Like the frontage, the rear garden is also low maintenance. There’s a lawn that won’t be much trouble to mow, patio and gravel areas offering seating space, and a small bed along the back with a selection of plants. It has all you need, and faces south so there’s as much sun as possible.
The Position
Knightlands Road is a peaceful street of predominantly bungalows. It’s right on the edge of Irthlingborough, yet you can be on the High Street in just 10-15 minutes on foot. Here you’ll find eating and drinking spots, schooling and a library, doctors and a pharmacy, plus a cricket club, a Scout centre and a skatepark. Rushden Lakes is less than a 10-minute drive away, for restaurants and retail, plus family fun and nature walks around the water.
Wellingborough neighbours Irthlingborough, providing more amenities, as well as the popular Castle Theatre for a range of shows. Commuter trains from Wellingborough to London St Pancras take as little as 42 minutes, so work-life balance feels that bit better. By road, you’re within easy reach of Northampton via the A45, Bedford via the A6 and Milton Keynes via the A509.
As for the great outdoors, Irthlingborough has lots of surrounding countryside. Stanwick Lakes a 15-minute stroll from the front door are the ultimate location for a long walk weekend stroll, or why not while away the hours here with your fishing rod.
Secure Sale & Buyer Information Pack Disclosure
This property is being marketed with a Secure Sale Pack, designed to help speed up the transaction and provide greater certainty for both buyers and sellers.
