Look inside 17th century period stone house up for auction in Northamptonshire village

The six bedroom property in Grendon has four bathrooms, including two suites.

The home has a wealth of period features, lawned gardens measuring around two acres and stunning countryside views.

Richard Greener, Auctioneer for Auction House Northamptonshire said: "The property is unusual in that it was built in 1680 for the Markham family of local landowners and has been handed down by inheritance to the present owners, who having lived there for some 40 years, are now emigrating. Many of the portraits on the walls shown in the internal photos are of previous occupants and family members, along with their hunters and dogs.

"The house has been added to over the years with the most recent 20th Century extension having been designed by Sir Albert Richardson FRIBA, one-time president of the Royal Academy. The accommodation now extends to over 5,000 square feet and is offered together with approximately two acres of formal gardens, which include the former lawned tennis court and pond and some superb specimen trees.

"This lovely house stands with its back to the village lane; however, when approached along the access drive, the slow reveal of the house and grounds creates the most amazing sense of arrival. The outstanding benefit is the fact that the principal rooms of the interior all enjoy a westerly aspect over the gardens to the most spectacular view of the open countryside beyond.”

All of this could be yours at auction for a guide price of £850,000 to £900,000 (plus fees).
