Aspirational Homes’ from Magenta Estate Agents are delighted to present Nicholas House, an historic Grade II listed thatched cottage with medieval origins, once said to have been occupied by stone masons working at the neighbouring 15th Century Church of St Nicholas. Retaining much of the character of the original building, the cottage, which underwent a full programme of modernisation 8 months ago, has been sympathetically and meticulously restored by respected local builders Messrs CHBC Property Limited, a team of professionals with over 30 years’ experience developing property in and around East Northamptonshire.
ACCOMMODATION
Entrance Hall
Enter the cottage to the front aspect via a traditional painted wooden door with antique black iron letter plate and door handle; the high ceiling affords the hall an airy, spacious feel. Additional benefits include engineered oak flooring and a built-in cupboard ideal for general household storage or for hanging coats. All communicating doors to:
Kitchen/Breakfast/Living Room

Light, airy and full of character charm and warmth, the bedroom features a fabulous inglenook with black-painted cast-iron fireplace and oak bressummer beam.

You also have the benefit of a brick-built storage barn which has power and light connected, and one allocated parking space.
The nearby town of Thrapston offers additional facilities including various shops, restaurants, and tearooms, two GP surgeries and the Nene Centre leisure centre. A popular, monthly farmers’ market sells locally grown and produced food and drink, as well as plants and soaps.
