Village information

Isham is positioned on the A509 road, three miles

south of Kettering and a mile to the west of Burton

Latimer with the river Ise to the east of the village.

Kettering and Wellingborough train stations are

within easy reach, with direct rails services to London

St Pancras International in under an hour. The village

benefits from the popular Isham CEVA Primary

School (recently rated Outstanding by OFSTED), The

Lilacs Public House, the popular Bear and Beignet

Coffee House and two churches. Isham Cricket Club,

based on the outskirts of the village between Isham

and Orlingbury, plays in the Northamptonshire

County league. Past players have included Stephen

Fleming (New Zealand national cricket team captain)

and Johann Myburgh (SA Titans).

Gardens

The pretty front garden is enclosed by stone walling with

a timber gate and a pathway, flanked by hedging and

lawns, leading to the front door with porch over. The

rear garden is deceptively large with flagstone courtyard

next to the house, perfect for garden furniture and an

ideal vantage point from which to admire both the

cottage and the church. Double electric gates to the side

lead to a private gravelled driveway for four cars and

access to an oversized garage. A generous lawn is

complemented by colourful planted borders with mature

plants and shrubs; a further patio looks back towards the

garden and cottage.

Church CottageChurch Cottage

This quite exceptional, picturesque Grade II listed stone

cottage, dating from the late seventeenth century, enjoys

an enviable position in the heart of Isham, with lovely

views of the village church, illuminated by night. The

interior is delightful, brimming with character to include

an entrance hall, guest cloakroom, living room with

minster style fireplace, versatile family room with

inglenook fireplace linking an oak framed garden room

used for formal dining, with a kitchen/breakfast room,

creating an open, flowing living space. Upstairs there is

an opulent bathroom with bateau bath and separate

shower enclosure as well as three/four generous

bedrooms arranged over two floors, the master with

dressing area and en suite shower room. Outside, the

wonderful gardens are beautifully kept, with a manicured

front garden, generous rear garden and a private

driveway accessed via electric gates leading to the

oversized garage. A very rare opportunity in this most

desirable village. EPC RATING: EXEMPT
