Property description
Occupying an elevated corner position within superbly landscaped grounds, Fine and Country Northern Lincolnshire are delighted to offer for sale Barrow House, which has evolved into a splendid family home and retains the easy grace of an important Grade II Listed Georgian house.
It delights, rather than imposes, with its well balanced proportion and the retention of the impressive return staircase with its delicate spindles, the deep sash windows and its open fireplaces ensures an intimate grandeur which balances welcoming social spaces with relaxed privacy.
The incorporation of the former Coach house enhances the flexibility demanded by modern family life and provides further possibilities for modification if required.
The elegant entrance hall welcomes you to two well balanced reception rooms with open fireplaces and the 17'2 south facing dining room is an outstanding space for formal celebrations whilst the principle dual aspect drawing room with its Adam style fireplace captures the afternoon and evening light. The practicalities of modern life are well catered for in the pine effect kitchen with beamed breakfast snug off. The former Coach house has become a utility/shower room, separate large pantry with gymnasium/sauna and garage to the lower ground floor and could be adapted to a self contained annex or work space if required.
A distinctive split landing serves the master suite, which includes a dual aspect bedroom and en-suite shower, together with three further generous double bedrooms. A family bathroom with traditional suite completes the accommodation.
The mature landscaped grounds are a particular delight with distinct areas arranged around a series of shrub and tree edged lawns which are best contemplated from the cleverly situated seating areas. A gated rear courtyard provides extensive parking and the two storey garage could easily become an outstanding children's area if required.
