Property description
Windy Ridge Barn is a dream waiting to be finally realised. Set within approx ¾ of an acre of lawned gardens and enjoying spectacular views across rural Lincolnshire it currently offers stylish four bedroom family accommodation with an attached undeveloped two storey former corn barn. Divided into two distinct yet connected sections it affords unique potential for further enhancement according to your vision.
The main house is designed to maximise the light as the principle rooms enjoy southern aspects and to be a comfortable home fit for easy modern family life. There is a broad reception hall with striking return balustrade stair case and fossilised stone floor which continues to the generous breakfast kitchen which forms the undoubted social heart of the home with its Island bar and beech effect units.
The principle dual aspect lounge has a crisp contemporary feel which is given a relaxed warmth by the large cast iron traditional log burning stove. The dining room, formally used as a playroom then as bed sitting room, is adjacent to the kitchen and a wet room and rear hall links to the attached barn.
The main landing encapsulates the design principles with its large fixed windows providing stunning views towards the River Humber and further beyond. The master suite with its bedroom, indulgent en-suite bathroom and dressing / seating area is an outstanding private retreat. There are a remaining three bedrooms, one currently has an en-suite shower room, another the potential for en-suite facilities and a stylish bathroom with bath in mirrored recess completes the accommodation.
The unfinished 35ft dual height corn barn with hay loft provides outstanding potential, it could make a magnificent entertainment suite or games room, additional annex for dependant relative, home work space or further accommodation if required or even workshops.
Windy Ridge is set back beyond deep lawns and made secure by a walled and gated entrance and there is extensive reception parking. An additional range of outbuilding, currently used as garaging and storage, could easily become a separate, bespoke studio or workspace and a further ½ acre (approx) of fenced and lawned rear grounds complete this unique home.
Windy Ridge Barn – where dreams begin.
