HANTHORPE,

Lincolnshire

Offers in excess of £550,000

A delightful, characterful house sits down a private lane in the South Lincolnshire village of Hanthorpe. It is rare for houses in this particular location to come on the market and although rural, it is close to the A15 and is within easy reach to Bourne, Stamford and Peterborough. Constructed in 1994, the property is approached from a private road onto a gravelled drive with a separate double garage stands to the right. This attractive house with its dormer windows and terracotta pantile roof has a front entrance hall, a triple aspect living room, a snug / study, a dual aspect dining room, a kitchen breakfast room overlooking the garden, a utility room and WC on the ground floor. First floor accommodates four double bedrooms – the principal bedroom has a spacious en suite – and a family bathroom. The garden is fully enclosed and private, divided into different areas of lawn, gravel and paving and features a pond with an ornamental bridge.

A modest sixties house has been transformed into a contemporary, family home perfect for modern living with its open plan layout and fabulous connection with the garden. The location is excellent, only a fifteen minute walk from the town centre. This four bedroom, four bathroom property has an attractive, modern façade, a mix of the original yellow brick, pale grey render and cedar cladding, its gable end full of huge windows that stretch up to the eaves for the influx of natural light and a stylish contemporary look. Sitting on a corner plot, an angled low brick wall denotes the front boundary where a block-paved drive offers parking in front of the garage. Stepping inside, a vast living space opens out before you, the garden visible beyond. Bi-folding and sliding doors glide back to create an almost seamless connection to the timber decking, the perfect space for al fresco dining and entertaining.
