The Enchanted Cottage

So enchanting is this wonderful detached cottage that you could be forgiven for imagining a magical fairy circle at the end of garden!

Sitting on the edge of the Northamptonshire village of Duston, the aptly named Enchanted Cottage mixes interesting local history, stunning original features and sympathetic restoration and improvements.

The Enchanted Cottage is located in Millway and was formerly known as Smiths Cottage, and has a several hundred-year association with the family.

Restored, retaining many of its original and unusual features, this thatched cottage offers a spacious family home – with a price tag of £380,000 currently being sold through Harrison Murray estate agents in Duston.

Numerous attractive features ensure that this home stands out from the crowd.

- The original rare oak and deal cottage door dates from about 1600.
- Inglenook fireplace and exposed oak beams in the dining room.
- The study-cum-bedroom includes a window seat overlooking the beautiful garden. This room was originally the former Rectory and later the Alehouse. The original under-the- stairs cupboard which housed the till also remains.
- Relax in the sumptuous bathroom with its Norfolk half roll top bath and Edwardian mixer taps.
- New self-cleaning conservatory has heat control and tinted windows.
- The landing stairs date back to World War I.
- Two double bedrooms display the original roof timbers.
