A former 19th-century shoe and belt-making factory, this four-bedroom house in Northamptonshire has been thoroughly yet sensitively reimagined. It unfolds over 2,000 sq ft across three well-proportioned storeys, where tall original windows and exposed red-brick walls stand as reminders of its Victorian heritage. The house is brilliantly placed for access to the surrounding countryside and Kettering Station, where services run to London St Pancras in 45 minutes.
