Property description
Fine and Country Northern Lincolnshire are offering for sale this stunning five bedroom detached family home with two storey double garage. Set within superb landscaped grounds this generously proportioned residence includes a dual aspect lounge with inglenook fireplace, formal dining room and stunning dual height garden room. A farmhouse kitchen with breakfast area is the relaxed heart of the home. A vaulted master bedroom with en-suite is supplemented by four further bedrooms and a family bathroom. A unique family home of vibrant generosity.Built in 1999 and retaining the external appearance of the original two cottages from the front, The Old Cottages is a superbly presented five bedroom detached family home standing within magnificently landscaped private grounds.
The superb marriage of traditional charm and modern efficiency has created a home of true distinction – \"the best of both worlds\".
Throughout the home there is space: the broad 14'9 reception hall with spindle balustrade staircase leads to a generous dual aspect lounge with inglenook fireplace, the dining room easily caters for formal celebrations and the stunning dual height garden room captures the afternoon sun and enjoys views across the delightful grounds.
It is no mistake that the 17' farmhouse pine kitchen opens to a large breakfast area to form the undoubted relaxed, social heart of the home.
There is, however, an intimacy to the home: the double bedrooms are calm private spaces and the contemporary bathrooms have an understated elegance.
The Old Cottages is discreetly situated on a wide corner plot with extensive reception and driveway parking and the superbly landscaped grounds are divided into different sections to ensure year long interest and variety.
If further space is required the 30' wide two storey detached garage could become further accommodation or workspace if required (subject to the necessary permissions).
From the understated frontage of The Old Cottages you may not immediately appreciate the generosity of size and spirit of this unique and vibrant family home.
