Location: Fairlands is situated in the heart of this thriving village near the Prebendal Manor which dates from the 13th

Century and believed to be the oldest inhabited house in the county. Nassington is a popular village with excellent

amenities including a family butchers shop and General store / Post Office, two public houses, newly built pre-school and

well regarded primary school. The river Nene meanders past

the village and there are a number of footpaths and

bridleways in the locality providing access to the

surrounding countryside.

The nearby market town of Oundle offers one of the

country’s top public schools and provides a range of

traditional family run shops, businesses and restaurants as

well as sports and leisure facilities. Stamford, one of the

best preserved stone towns in the country and Burghley

House lie eight miles to the north. Peterborough is

the nearest city about ten miles to the east and offers

extensive facilities with main line travel to London with

journey time from 45 mins.

The Property: This handsome former farmhouse is Grade II

listed and situated within a conservation area. Part of the

building dates from the 16th century- a date stone 1585 is

visible to the rear. A ledger secreted in the wall of the

inglenook fireplace by a tenant in the late 18th century

(which has recently come to light) testifies to the fact that it

was extensively remodelled at that time, when the bay

windows were added. The present owners successfully ran

the house as a Bed & Breakfast until recently.

The accommodation which is set over three floors displays

many original features including beamed ceilings, an

inglenook fireplace and latched plank doors. The principal

rooms are dual aspect each enjoying a view over the garden

to the south.

The front door leads into the hall where there is a staircase

and further door to the rear. The sitting room has a feature

stone fire place and French doors facing south and the

dining room has an inglenook fireplace with large wood

burning stove as a focal point. A door leads through to the

kitchen/breakfast room which is a comfortable and sociable

space for cooking, dining and entertaining. There is a range

of hand crafted reclaimed pine units and an Aga is set into a

chimney at one end with a walk in pantry set to the side. A

door leads from the kitchen to the utility with a door to the

cloakroom/WC and access to the rear.

The first floor is accessed via stairs from the hall. The landing

is light with windows to the south overlooking the garden

leading to a double bedroom with en suite bathroom. There

are two further generous sized bedrooms with a shower

room between them. Stairs lead from the landing to the

second floor where there are two further double attic

bedrooms.

Fairlands faces onto Church Street from which there is a

driveway leading to a large level parking area. This has the

benefit of Planning Permission for the erection of a double

garage. Steps lead down to a generous lawn area

surrounded by borders, incorporating a Magnolia, Medlar

and mature Walnut tree. Other features include a small

pond, well and pergola. An arbour walk leads southwards
