Description
20 Mill Road is a classically proportioned late Georgian family cottage located within the sought-after village of Kislingbury. Formerly comprising two dwelling houses, the property has been combined to create a single large residence and the current owners have rationalised the layout whilst retaining all of the character and charm to create a lovely family home. The property is constructed from finely cut and regularly coursed Northampton sandstone beneath a natural slate roof. The attractive façade has dressed flat arches with projecting keystones above the 16-pane timber sash windows.
Internally at ground floor level, the main front door with brass ironmongery provides access to the entrance lobby and stairs. Oak doors lead off to the sitting room where there is an attractive wood burning stove housed within a reclaimed brick breast with natural slate hearth. The open plan living area to the left-hand side of the entrance lobby provides ample room for entertaining and includes a large family seating area together with a well-appointed kitchen with central space for dining table and chairs. Good natural lighting is provided to the principal rooms from the large south facing sash windows and original features have been retained including exposed Oak beams.
At first floor level, the accommodation comprises landing with stripped pine doors leading to the master bedroom, further double bedroom, single bedroom, and bathroom. The master bedroom has part-vaulted ceilings with attractive exposed timber roof truss members.
Location:
On the southern banks of the River Nene and approached via an old stone pack horse bridge, is the delightful village of Kislingbury.
Situated 4 miles West of Northampton but surrounded by open countryside, Kislingbury was mentioned in the doomsday book of 1086. Although there have been some more modern housing over the past few years, many of the early stone and thatched roof homes remain.
Although a relatively small village, there is a thriving community with an exceptional range of facilities including village store, three public houses/restaurants including the popular Cromwell Arms, and a primary school. Secondary schooling is available at Campion School in the nearby village of Bugbrooke and private schools are also well served with Quinton House and Northampton High School for Girls a short drive away.
The village has one of the few English churches that has been largely unchanged since it was built in 1330 and is reputed to be where Oliver Cromwell stabled his horses in 1645, the night before the battle of Naseby.
With access to junction 15a of the M1 motorway, the village is an easy commute to Milton Keynes where a wide range of shops and facilities are available as well as Milton Keynes Central Railway with direct and frequent trains to London Euston.

Exposed ceiling joists and a central chamfered Oak beam with a stained finish provides character. Natural lighting is provided from the front elevation windows overlooking the private courtyard garden and there is additional natural lighting from the smaller pivot hung window to the rear elevation.
