We have pleasure in offering to the market this interesting, individual, detached, family orientated home forming one of a handful of bespoke dwellings tucked away in a secluded setting on the edge of this highly regarded Vale of Belvoir village.
Originally completed in the late 1990s to an interesting and well thought out design, offering elements associated with a more traditional home, the property has attractive brick elevations beneath a pantile roof behind which lies a versatile level of accommodation approaching 2,500 sq.ft. In more recent years the property has seen a tasteful program of thoughtful modernisation combining both traditional and contemporary elements.
The property is beautifully presented throughout having tasteful decoration with modern kitchens and bathrooms as well as benefitting from updated double glazed windows and gas central heating.
The property boasts four main reception areas including a beautiful dual aspect sitting room with solid fuel stove which links through into the fantastic addition of a large garden room at the rear. This provides a further versatile space with a wonderful aspect into the rear garden which in turn links through into two further reception areas currently providing formal dining and separate study. A beautifully appointed kitchen which again benefits from a dual aspect has a useful utility off. In addition there is a ground floor cloak room situated off a spacious hallway which leads up to a galleried landing above and, in turn, four double bedrooms, the master of which benefits from ensuite facilities, and a separate family shower room.
As well as the internal accommodation the property occupies a stunning plot, lying in excess of 0.4 of an acre, located on a private driveway providing a considerable level of off parking and leading to an attached double garage. The rear garden offers an excellent degree of privacy, benefiting from a south to westerly aspect with pleasant views across to a neighbouring paddock. The garden is well maintained and offers a delightful outdoor space which links back into the garden room and, in turn, further reception areas. The property also benefits from a secondary access off Old Grantham Road adding to the versatility of the property.
Overall viewing is the only way to truly appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.
