Property description
Offered for sale by Fine and Country Northern Lincolnshire this superbly refurbished three bedroom detached farm house offers superbly proportioned and flexible accommodation. The 27’6 principal lounge/diner features a superb refurbished inglenook and there is a more intimate separate snug. The breakfast kitchen is the undoubted heart of the home and a three piece bathroom and utility completes the ground floor. To the first floor there are three generous bedrooms, one of which has shower facilities together with a stylish family bathroom. The grounds are truly a gardener’s delight and there is extensive parking and an attached garage. The Olde Farmhouse – attention to living.Completely refurbished over the last 16 years by the current vendor this former pair of 18th Century farm houses now forms a stunningly presented three bedroom detached family home of quintessential English charm and character.
The individual details – the salt box in the inglenook, the ledge and brace doors, wainscot panelling and ball and claw foot bath – contribute to the warmth and intimacy of this eminently flexible home. There is a gentle character throughout: the principal 27’6 lounge diner with refurbished inglenook is known as the Christmas lounge, the snug is a cosy retreat and the stylish kitchen includes a dual aspect breakfast area that captures the morning sun. The ground floor is completed by a traditionally appointed bathroom, study and practical utility.
The first floor features three generous south facing bedrooms – one of which includes a dressing area with shower – together with an outstanding family bathroom with free standing roll top bath.
The warmth of welcome is established by the mellow exterior colour wash which beautifully reflects the sun and the enclosed grounds are a gardeners delight with a host of specimen trees and spring flowers arranged around distinct seating areas to create an all year round al fresco experience. In addition to the gated reception area there is an attached 17’ by 16’ garage with additional store room and distinctive half glazed concertina doors which could become a bespoke work space or studio if required.
