Property description
Freshfields is brought to the market by Fine and Country Northern Lincolnshire. It is a superbly extended, 4 bedroomed, detached home, offering flexible accommodation, retaining the original charm and character of the cottage. Originally a two up, two down cottage, the property now offers versatile family accommodation with the option of using part of the ground floor as a self-contained annex or offices.
The original two bedroom cottage has been modernised and linked to the annex/office accommodation by an Orangery style dining kitchen, which has traditional units including a large island, with granite work surfaces, and an adjacent utility room. The main hall, lounge, snug and bathroom are all within the original cottage and the two reception rooms have fireplaces with gas fires, and a bay window. There is a large family room with an impressive brick fireplace and wood burning stove, and a small office, boiler room and store room.
Completing the ground floor is a games room/bedroom with bathroom off. On the first floor are a total of 4 bedrooms, the master with an en-suite shower room and walk in wardrobe. Gas fired central heating, UPVC sealed unit double glazing and a security system is installed. Outside are delightful gardens which offer a combination of hard landscaping, lawns and shrubbery to beds and borders.
There is ample off road parking, a double garage, summer house with raised decking and a garden store. Beyond is an orchard with mature apple and plum trees, and a timber stable block with two stables, a tack room and barn/hay store. The grounds extend to around two thirds of an acre overall.

LOCATION
The Isle of Axholme is a rural part of North Lincolnshire. The name 'Isle' was given to the area prior to it being drained by The Dutchman Cornelius Vermeidon as it comprised areas of dry raised ground and surrounding marshland. The village of Belton offers a local Junior School with an excellent reputation, bus service, parish church, public house, two convenience stores, post office, garage, and playing fields. A secondary school and golf courses are only a few miles away. The area is ideally placed for the towns of Doncaster, Gainsborough and Scunthorpe and is close to junction 2 of the M180 motorway providing access to the major conurbations of West Yorkshire. For holiday and business travel the nearby Doncaster Sheffield International airport at Finningley is a major advantage. The market town of Epworth which is home to 'The Wesley's' is the next village from Belton. This thriving community offers a wide range of convenience and specialist shops, restaurants, library, pharmacy, secondary school, leisure centre, playing fields and doctor's surgery.
DIRECTIONS
Approaching the village from Junction 2 of the M180 from the North, turn right into Westgate Road at the mini roundabout as you enter the village of Belton. Continue over the River Torne and the road becomes Sandtoft Road and the property will be found shortly after the river on the left hand side.
