We have pleasure in offering to the market this attractive detached, relatively modern home completed to a high specification around 2011. The property was designed with a great deal of thought and attention to detail, mimicking the external aesthetics of a period barn style home having an appealing double fronted facade with brick elevations beneath a slate tiled roof with cat slide dormer windows to the first floor, cottage style double glazed windows, beautiful oak framed porch and entrance door and traditional style rainwater goods creating an aesthetically pleasing home. These more traditional elements have been combined with the benefits of modern construction to provide an efficient, gas centrally heated home with neutral decoration and contemporary fixtures and fittings. In addition there are attractive skirtings and architrave, oak internal doors, beautiful floor coverings including stone flooring to the main kitchen living area, utility and entrance hall as well as solid wood flooring to the dining room, sitting room and study.
The property approaches 2,200 sq.ft. making it large enough to accommodate families, especially those who will appreciate the local schools both in Allington but also having access to Kings Grammar School in Grantham.
The accommodation extends to three main receptions as well as a spacious open plan living/dining kitchen with beautiful walk in bay window to the rear which has been cleverly designed with oak casement, bifold, internal doors leading through into both the dining area and living room which, when open out, create a larger open plan space, perfect for everyday living and entertaining. In addition there is a useful ground floor cloak room and generous utility. To the first floor, leading off a large central landing, there are four double bedrooms, two of which benefit from ensuite facilities, the master also having a large walk in wardrobe, and a separate family bathroom.
The property is beautifully kept throughout and is presented in a move in condition.
As well as the internal accommodation the property occupies an attractive landscaped plot set back behind a low maintenance railing frontage. To the rear is an enclosed, relatively private, garden encompassing various seating areas as wells as a stunning oak gazebo providing a wonderful covered entertaining area which could be used all year round. A central lawn is surrounded by well stocked perimeter borders, having a raised pond and courtesy door into a double garage providing secure parking or excellent storage. The property is accessed off an initial shared driveway with a private drive at the rear providing off road parking for three cars.
The property is well located within the village and from the first floor there are wonderful elevated views.
Overall viewing comes highly recommended to appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.
