Set on the banks of the River Nene, Thorpe Waterville has a rural feel with water meadows and a heronry on the periphery, and footpaths, including the Nene Way, following the river as it winds its way to Wadenhoe and beyond, to the Wash.  The village lies between the historic market towns of Oundle and Thrapston each providing good shopping and leisure facilities, as well as an excellent choice of schooling.  The towns of Peterborough, Huntingdon, Kettering and Wellingborough are all within reasonable driving distance, each providing extensive facilities as well as main line rail links, with journey times to London from 50 minutes.  The A14 lies about 3 miles to the South and the A1(M) about 9 miles to the North.

Historical Information

Thorpe dates back to the time of the Danish invasion and denotes an outlying settlement.  Waterville was taken from the name of Ascelin de Waterville, the knight who first inhabited the Norman castle on the site.  In 1301 Walter de Langton, Bishop of Lichfield, was granted a licence to crenellate the castle, and reference is made to a fortified gateway and also a chapel.

In 1461 the castle was occupied by the Lancastrian forces during the Wars of the Roses.  Henry VIII is thought to have ordered the destruction of the castle and cannons were reportedly taken from Fotheringhay Castle to carry out the task.  The mound and moat are still visible today along with the Long Hall, which is a beautiful Grade I Listed structure that was a two storey residence for Bishop Langton.  The impressive roof structure suggests that this was built in 1301 when Bishop Langton was accused of stripping a vast quantity of timber from the woods at Pipewell Abbey.

In 2009 an Archaeological Geophysical Survey was commissioned from Northamptonshire Archaeology, by the present owners, Sir Roger and Lady Martin.  This was carried out in conjunction with the University of Essex and the results clearly show the layout of the castle along with the positioning of the towers.  A detailed report is available for inspection by interested parties.

The Property

The present owners have carried out detailed and lengthy restoration and refurbishment works to the property and grounds, creating a comfortable family home in beautiful surroundings.

Castle House

Set centrally within the grounds, Castle House stands prominently at the end of a lengthy, gravelled drive and has attractive elevations with mullioned windows over-looking the gardens.  The accommodation is set over three floors and has been sympathetically updated and refurbished by the current owners, whilst leaving the original features in situ.

A large oak and iron studded door opens to the entrance hall, past the cloakroom and into the snug which has a handsome fireplace as the focal point and a York stone floor.  The drawing room has a stone fireplace, oak flooring and large windows over-looking the gardens to the South and West.  Across the hall lies the dining room which has a window looking on the terrace and moat beyond.  The kitchen has been fitted with an extensive range of bespoke furniture with granite work surfaces.  Integrated appliances include electric double ovens, a 5 ring gas hob, extractor hood, a microwave oven, fridge freezer and a dishwasher.  A stable door leads into the garden.

An oak staircase leads to the first floor where there is a split landing.  To one side lies the master bedroom suite which comprises a sitting room, dressing area, bathroom and bedroom with bespoke furniture including a four poster bed and wardrobes.  Also on this floor are two further bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The stairs continue to the second floor where there is a study area on the half landing which leads onto a central landing with three double bedrooms and a bathroom.

The Long Hall

This beautiful stone building dates from 1301 and was constructed by Bishop Walter de Langton and used as a residence with a large open hall and the Bishop’s rooms on the first floor where there are two chamfered circular windows and a corbelled chimney.  The Long Hall was converted to a barn, probably in the 18th or early 19th century and large doors were inserted into the side elevations.  A gallery was added which runs around the inside of the barn at first floor level.  The building has recently been re-wired and re-thatched and is now used as a function room for private parties and concerts.

Garaging

A detached garage block with two garages, a workshop and tool shed.  There is a utility / laundry room to one end.

Guest Flat

Set above the garaging and workshop is a well appointed flat with entrance hall, large living room with kitchen area, a double bedroom and a bathroom.  Stairs lead to the second floor where there is excellent attic storage.

The Grounds

The lengthy gravelled drive runs through an avenue of trees with paddocks to either side.  A lawn stands in front of the house and to one side is the Long Hall.  To the West lies the castle mound which is partially moated.  There is a large flagstone terrace to the south of the house which leads on to the formal lawn.  The terrace extends to the West and is covered by a pergola and over-looks the moat.  A paddock to the East has been planted with a large number of native trees, now in their third season of growth.  An orchard area has the moat to one side and Thorpe brook to the other.  Pathways wind through the spinney on the southern boundary.  In all the grounds extend to approximately 9.65 acres.

Location
Wadenhoe is an ancient settlement, perched above the banks of the River Nene, and set amongst gently rolling countryside within the ‘Special Landscape Area’. Many of the buildings within the village are Listed as being of special architectural or historic interest. Wadenhoe House dates from around 1657 and the church of St Michael and All Angels, situated to the West of the village is thought to be built upon the site of a Saxon settlement. There are footpaths and bridleways leading from the village to the neighbouring countryside. The beautiful town of Oundle lies about 4 miles to the North and provides a range of traditional, family run shops, businesses and restaurants, set around the Georgian Market Place. There is an excellent choice of schooling, both private and state, within the area. Peterborough, Huntingdon and Kettering are within reasonable driving distance and each has a main line rail station.

The Property
Set in some of the most tranquil and unspoilt countryside of Northamptonshire, Wadenhoe Lodge is large country house set within formal grounds of 2 acres with a further 2.22 acres of rough woodland set along the historic path known as the Lyvden Way, which runs adjacent.

The property is set 1 mile from Wadenhoe and is approached over a private track leading up into the centre of the Wadenhoe estate past Mill farm upper buildings. At the end of the track there are two entrances in to the property. The main entrance leads over a cattle grid onto a gravelled drive and passes the attractive 19^th century double gabled and dormer windowed south facing limestone façade under a Collyweston roof, to a large gravelled and walled parking area with un-interrupted views of several miles across open countryside.

Originally part of the Wadenhoe Estate, the house has evolved from three Victorian woodsman’s cottages that were built circa 1850 to look like a single dwelling. Sympathetic alteration and extension took place in 2006, creating a substantial and versatile country house with each room displaying period features and enjoying views over the gardens or surrounding countryside.

The house has a fully oak panelled hallway of a Jacobean period styling, with floor to ceiling ornate oak panelling and flagged stone floor. Full height oak panelled double doors with embossed and emblazoned door furniture and handles lead into the drawing room which has a central open fireplace with carved stone surround, ashlar stone backing and hearth and oak panelling above. There is plenty of light from the large stone mullioned windows.

The sitting room is great for daily family life, being adjacent to the kitchen, but also having access to the drawing room and to the conservatory. There is a carved stone fireplace with limestone hearth and oak side cupboard. The conservatory is a wonderful addition to the house with heating beneath the tiled floor and double glazed windows over-looking the pond and gardens beyond.

The farmhouse kitchen is the heart of the home with access to the various reception rooms and to the main hall. There is ample room with bespoke units and a four oven Aga with maple shelf above, to one end, space for a large dining table in the centre and chairs set around the open fireplace to the other end. There are wide oak floorboards and an attractive, central Gothic doorway opening to the garden.

The games room is entered via a concealed, oak panelled door from the hall. This large room has two pairs of French windows opening to the West facing terrace. There is also a door to the drive and access to a cloakroom / WC, offering scope for use as an annex or home office if required.

The study is set beyond the kitchen and has direct access from the drive. It has a range of fitted cupboards. There is a useful boot/ utility room with space for appliances. Adjacent is the WC which also houses the oil fired boiler.

There are two staircases to the first floor. The back stairs run directly from the kitchen to the upstairs sitting room but the principal staircase leads from the panelled hall, past a large mullioned, east facing window to the galleried landing.

The master suite comprises a dressing room with built-in wardrobes, a full bathroom with spa bath, and a large bedroom enjoying a double aspect. The principal guest suite is also entered via the galleried landing, but it also has its own access via an external, stone staircase from the drive, allowing separate access from the house if needed. The bedroom has full height glazing to one wall with a marvellous view over the surrounding countryside. A lobby, dressing room and shower room lie adjacent.

The first floor sitting room can be accessed directly from the galleried landing or the four remaining bedrooms. This comfortable room has a pitched ceiling, a stone fireplace with wood burning stove set to one wall and there are views to the south over the garden.

The second guest suite has a large bedroom enjoying easterly and southerly views. There is a shower room to one side.

A corridor leads from the sitting room to three further bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Outside
The house sits well at the end of a gravelled drive with a large south-facing lawn to the front. To the east of the house is a large, gravelled parking. Planning Permission has been granted for the erection of garaging with store rooms above. There are terraces to the north and west of the house with formal, raised beds. Paths lead past the vegetable garden to the annex and also around the pond to the garden room and to the tennis court.

A further gate opens to a yard which contains a large timber garage / workshop. The paddock is enclosed by post and rail fencing and mature hedging. The gardens and paddock measure 2 acres.
