** Wentworth Cottage – Distinguished Four-Bedroom Period Home with Rare Development Potential ** Your Move Nolan Throw are delighted to present this rare opportunity to acquire Wentworth Cottage, a truly exceptional detached period residence in the heart of Rushden.

Dating back to 1888, this elegant home blends timeless charm with thoughtful modern enhancements, offering generous living space, an exquisitely landscaped garden and a host of distinctive features that make it one of a kind.

Set on an outstanding plot, the property not only boasts beautiful gardens but also the exciting potential for the construction of a second dwelling within the grounds (subject to renewed planning consent), making it a rare opportunity for buyers seeking both character and future development prospects!

Perfectly positioned within easy reach of Rushden town centre, the property enjoys convenient access to everyday amenities, well-regarded schools and the ever-popular Rushden Lakes development, with its array of shopping, dining, and leisure options.

For commuters, the A6, A45 and A14 are all close by, while Wellingborough station provides regular direct trains to London St Pancras in under an hour.

From the moment you arrive, this home exudes character.

Set behind a neat, low-maintenance frontage with gated gravel driveway, a welcoming storm porch opens into a grand hallway where high ceilings, period detailing and a warm, inviting atmosphere set the tone for the rest of the house.

To the front, a bay-fronted lounge bathed in natural light offers the perfect place to relax, centred around a log-burning stove that creates a cosy, homely feel.

Original coving and period architecture enrich the sense of history.

A second reception room sits alongside—currently enjoyed as a games room and snug, but equally suited to use as a dining room, home office or playroom depending on your needs.

A unique feature is the bespoke library corridor, which leads into the true heart of the home: a stunning open-plan kitchen and dining room.

Designed with a classic countryside feel with a trendy twist, the kitchen combines modern cabinetry, solid wood worktops and a range-style cooker, while the dining area has plenty of space for a large family table.

This is a space that naturally draws people together, whether for everyday living or entertaining.

Bi-fold doors extend the room out onto the garden, creating an effortless flow between inside and out.

Throughout the property, the eclectic and fun style of décor perfectly complements the home’s classic period features, creating an atmosphere that is both vibrant and welcoming, while still honouring its heritage.

Practicality is equally well considered.

A rear hallway gives access to a separate utility room, ensuring the kitchen remains uncluttered, while a stylish ground-floor shower room adds further convenience.

The former working garage offers remarkable versatility, complete with an original mechanic’s pit, a delight for car enthusiasts or those in need of substantial storage, while an adjoining workshop links directly back into the main house.

The outdoor space is a genuine highlight.

To the side of the home lies an expansive, sun-drenched garden, beautifully landscaped to include patio and decked seating areas, a well-kept lawn, mature planting and even a vegetable patch.

Whether entertaining friends, dining alfresco, or simply unwinding in the peace and privacy of your own green oasis, this garden provides the perfect setting. Upstairs, the sense of space continues.

The generous landing leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms, three of which are comfortable doubles, with the fourth providing the perfect option for a child’s bedroom, dressing room or home office.

The family shower room has been tastefully modernised, finished with quality fittings, contemporary tiling and a walk-in shower. Wentworth Cottage also offers exciting scope for the future!

A large loft with excellent head height could be converted into a fifth bedroom, studio, or luxurious principal suite (STPP), complementing the opportunity to create an additional dwelling within the garden.

The current owners have taken great care to preserve the property’s original character while adding high-quality improvements, resulting in a home of distinction that balances heritage and modern living with ease.

Wentworth Cottage is more than just a house—it’s a lifestyle, combining individuality, charm, and the practicality of a well-connected location.
