Harborough Road, Kingsthorpe, Northampton

A charming two bedroom **COTTAGE** with many original features situated along Harborough Road with good transport links and access to many local amenities.

Rose Cottage has history dating back to 1823 with many of the original features and charm being retained.

Originally 107 & 109 were one and stood alone as a detached property before further dwellings appeared during the 20th Century. These have now been divided to provide two dwellings.

The cottages were originally inhabited by farm labourers working on the Estate across the road know as Kingsthorpe Recreation ground.

The red brick frontage and Northamptonshire sandstone rear with much sought after iron deposits (quarried in nearby Duston) is typical of the era in lower class dwellings where brick was seen as a symbol of wealth which is in complete contrast to that of today.
