Tenure: Freehold
Agent's Notes:
This property has experienced movement in the past due to the influence of perimeter vegetation on the underlying clay soil. In August 2009, movement-related cracking was resolved by removing a problematic hedge. Further cracking was identified in 2018 with an insurance surveyor noting clay soil shrinkage due to a conifer, which was subsequently removed in early 2019. Certificates of completion of repairs were obtained on both occasions. Securing subsidence insurance in future may require adherence to a monitoring schedule, and good maintenance of vegetation is advised.

There is a pedestrian right of way along part of the footpath for 21 Bell Lane.

Parking is on street only
Location:
The property is nestled in a peaceful location off Bell Lane in the picturesque village of Syresham in South Northamptonshire.
Syresham is a village that has managed to retain much of its old-world charm and provides an ideal location for families seeking a tranquil setting with the benefit of good amenities.
Facilities within the village include The King’s Head, a traditional coaching inn; post office and village store; Methodist Chapel; modern village hall; and Sports and Social Club.
Syresham is justly proud of its Primary School, which is at the heart of the village. Additional schooling is available at Akeley Wood School, Beachborough School, Magdalen College School, and Winchester House School in Brackley.
The village further benefits from good access to the arterial roads of the A43, M1, and M40. Milton Keynes and Northampton are approximately 30 minutes’ drive away, from where train journeys can be made to London Euston in 1 hour. The market towns of Brackley and Towcester are just a short drive away and provide an extended range of shops, supermarkets, and restaurants.
The village is surrounded by the remnants of ancient woodlands used as hunting grounds for past royalty, and the source of the River Great Ouse is purported to be located nearby, flowing as a small brook as it passes through the village on its 142-mile journey to the Wash in Norfolk.
The beautiful church of St James the Great is located on a steeply banked hillside to the north-east of the village. This 13th-century church has an impressive, shingled spire which rises next to a backdrop of equally inspiring trees.
