London Road, Raunds, Wellingborough, Northamptonshire

'Aspirational Homes' from Magenta Estate Agents present an individually-designed detached family home that affords a generous plot nearing 1/4 acre, and which enjoys a non-estate position on one of the town's premier roads. Whilst the property would now benefit from some modest updating throughout, there is the benefit of a refitted kitchen, gas radiator central heating system with Vaillant boiler, and uPVC double glazing. Offered to the market with no onward chain.

The market town of Raunds is situated in the heart of East Northamptonshire and enjoys easy access to all the major roads and motorways, including the A45 and A14 which link to the M6, M1, A1 and M11. Owing to the wide range of manufacturing and distribution businesses in the area, it is an increasingly-popular town for local workers and commuters alike.

The town enjoys a full range of shops and amenities including supermarkets, a medical centre, GP surgery, post office, schooling for all ages, restaurants and parks. The town square hosts a Friday market with regular stallholders selling fresh local produce. Nearby Stanwick Lakes affords extensive play areas to keep families entertained, and acres of wide open spaces and paths. The multimillion-pound development of Rushden Lakes, an exciting retail, leisure and tourism destination, has also welcomed a multiplex cinema, soft play facility, adventure golf and some exciting new restaurants.
