The Property
55 Springfield Road strikes the balance between newbuild and established home. Built in 2006 by Bloor Homes, it has all you’d expect at a modern property, plus it’s also been enhanced and updated over the years. In more recent years, the current owner has replaced the boiler and the heating/hot water system, installed air conditioning in the office, added a warm roof to what was a conservatory, and fitted new oak internal doors, wall panelling, and a marble fireplace and flooring.
The developer was ahead of its time when building the home 20 years ago, providing the space and layout a family is looking for today. The accommodation is almost 1,500sqft, with living space including four reception rooms. The reception rooms at the front offer particularly good flexibility for a family, with the option for a playroom for young children and an office if you work from home. These can easily become gaming/hobby rooms as the kids get older, or even bedrooms if needed. The comfortable lounge is in the centre of the home, featuring a characterful touch from the fireplace and the ceiling rose. Double doors open from the lounge into the dining room at the back.
Whether it’s for a simple weeknight dinner or a grand festive feast, having formal dining space is a real benefit if you love to entertain. Double doors open onto the garden for summer soirees, and the kitchen is connected to the dining room, yet separate enough that guests won’t get under your feet while you’re cooking. The kitchen is a great size, so you could incorporate casual dining space in here. It’s fitted with a wide range of storage, a breakfast bar, a sink and drainer, an integrated gas hob and fridge/freezer, and there are gaps for further appliances.
To the first floor are four bedrooms – three doubles and a single. The principal bedroom has the advantage of an en suite shower room, while the other three share the family bathroom. Storage throughout the property includes built-in wardrobes to two of the bedrooms, understairs and airing cupboards, plus a loft accessed from the landing.
The Plot
The plot at 55 Springfield Road provides private parking at the side for up to three cars. The tandem driveway fits two, with a third in the single garage, which has a remote-controlled electric door. Parking is also available on the road in front of the house.
To the rear of the plot is a landscaped garden. This has a mediterranean feel, with a white feature wall and raised bed, complete with olive trees. The garden faces southeast for lots of sun, outdoor lighting lets you enjoy the outside space into the evening, and it’s low maintenance so you won’t need to mow the lawn.
The Position
Springfield Road is on a modern development built with a family focus. Opposite the property is a play park for little ones to burn off energy after school, and there are multiple green areas on the estate for taking the dog out for a quick walk before bed. The school run couldn’t be easier, with Rushden Primary Academy less than 300m from the front door.
Rushden offers an abundance of greenspace for sports and downtime alike. Within a 15-minute walk of the address are 34-acre Hall Park, Jubilee skate park, as well as Manor Park, home of Rushden & Higham RUFC. Surrounding countryside and lakes present long weekend walks discovering nature, while varied days out in the local area include Chester House, Stanwick Lakes and Santa Pod Raceway.
For shops, amenities, entertainment and activities, Rushden High Street is a 20-minute walk, 6-minute cycle or 5-minute drive from Springfield Road. Rushden Lakes is a 15-minute drive away, and Wellingborough town centre is just a little further. For access into London, whether for work or fun, services from Wellingborough station reach St Pancras in as little as 44 minutes.
