Property description
Situated on the fringe of the sought after commuter village of Thealby and converted from outbuildings of Thealby Grange, Fine and Country Northern Lincolnshire are offering for sale The Dovecote, a unique four bedroom family home in a gated community of just three individual properties.
This Grade II Listed home utilises contemporary materials to enhance the retained stone and timber work and to create a stunning home of evident style and quality as seen in the striking 33' lounge diner where the modern slate floor is softened by the random stone built fireplace with cast iron stove, handmade oak units created around the retained mangers and exposed beam work. The superb breakfast kitchen with its high gloss finished units, stainless steel cooker and central island unit adheres to the same design principles by incorporating the former feeding troughs and the 15'3 entrance/utility features two full depth arched windows.
The marriage of modern and traditional is again evident to the first floor where a landing with study area includes both exposed roof trusses and a part glass floor which filters borrowed light back to the lounge. This floor also contains three very individual bedrooms, one of which benefits from en-suite facilities together with a luxury family bathroom with both shower enclosure and Jacuzzi bath. The second floor split level bedroom retains the high vaulted ceiling of the original dovecote.
Occupying a corner position and with planning permission to convert the attached stores to additional accommodation if required, the vendors have acquired a further side garden to supplement the existing large garden with vegetable plot and to create a more enclosed formal garden if required.
The Dovecote not only marries traditional charm with modern style, it marries heart and home.
