Shackleton Drive Daventry Northamptonshire, NN11 0RE

2 Shackleton Drive is a recently renovated executive family home offering exceptional lifestyle living, set on a generous corner plot in one of Daventry's most desirable residential areas. Ideally positioned close to well-regarded schools, local amenities, public transport links and the beautiful green open spaces of Daventry Country Park, the property is also just a short drive from Daventry town centre.

This outstanding home has been extensively and thoughtfully renovated to an exacting standard, using high-quality materials, bespoke craftsmanship and premium branded appliances throughout. The result is a striking, contemporary residence that combines style, comfort and practicality in equal measure.

The impressive double-door entrance opens into a hallway featuring polished porcelain tiling, a bespoke feature radiator with integrated bench seating, Italian 14-piece LED drop pendant lighting and elegant oak stair railings with matching balustrade. A spacious galleried landing with high ceilings enhances the sense of light and scale.

The heart of the home is the beautifully refitted kitchen (2023), designed for both everyday family life and entertaining. Handmade solid timber cabinetry, professionally hand-painted, is complemented by a 3.2m central island with white quartz worktop and subtle grey veining. A bespoke breakfast cupboard with sliding doors and matching quartz surfaces provides both function and flair. High-end integrated appliances include NEFF "Slide & Hide" oven, combination microwave/oven, induction hob with downdraft extraction and a 12-bottle undercounter wine cooler. Luxury brushed brass fixtures, including an ABI sink, tap set and champagne trough (plumbed to mains), add a distinctive designer touch. Soft-touch switches, dimmers and pendant lighting complete this exceptional space.

A matching utility room continues the premium finish, offering solid timber units, quartz worktops, concealed laundry space and brushed brass fittings.

The lounge is stylish and inviting, with a brushed copper feature wall, gas fireplace and timber-effect flooring. Oak and frosted glass pocket doors open seamlessly into the dining area, creating flexible open-plan living when desired. A beautifully finished downstairs washroom features polished porcelain tiles and a carved marble basin with waterfall tap. There is also a generous ground floor office/study, ideal for home working or a reading room.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a spacious retreat with fitted beech wardrobes and vanity unit, light oak acoustic slatted feature panels and brushed brass bedside lighting. The ensuite offers a shower over bath arrangement. The second bedroom is equally impressive, with handmade, hand-painted solid timber wardrobes and stylish lighting. The third and fourth bedrooms are well-proportioned and versatile, ideal for children, guests or additional workspace. A spacious family bathroom completes the first floor.

Externally, the rear garden is a true showpiece. Fully landscaped in September 2022, it has been designed as a luxury outdoor entertaining space. Porcelain paving with integrated drainage, premium stone-effect cladding and Indian black limestone detailing create a refined finish. A steel-lined fire pit with 10-person porcelain seating area, LED colour-change lighting and integrated wood storage forms a stunning focal point. There is also a timber outdoor kitchen and dining building, a separate spruce timber bar and lounge with plastered ceiling, and a six-person hot tub with fountain and colour-changing lighting. An Italian-style blade water feature, high-quality artificial lawn, grey slate garden areas and extensive upgraded electrics (including individual fuse boxes) ensure the space is as practical as it is impressive.

The front garden provides generous parking for up to five large vehicles, finished in pea shingle, artificial lawn and hedged borders, along with a 30-amp electric vehicle charger. The property benefits from two separate double garages. The main double garage features two single electric panel doors (remote and app controlled), loft storage and side access. The additional double garage offers a double electric panel door, wall insulation, upgraded wiring (2020) and soffit downlighting - ideal for car enthusiasts, storage or workshop use.
