    About this property

    • An attractive double fronted detached grade II listed stone and collyweston house, in the heart of this attractive and popular Conservation Village, with gated driveway parking and a private walled southerly facing courtyard garden.

      Renovated and reconfigured by the current owner, the three bedroomed property, which is dated 1848, has a stylish feel and fabulous standard of finish. The layout and flow is also ideal for families and for entertaining, whilst a separate orangery annex, within the grounds, offers versatility as an office, or fourth bedroom bedsit.

      Accommodation: The house is entered through a centrally positioned panelled front door, beneath fanlight, into a wide stone flagged entrance hallway, which is flanked by two of the reception rooms and leads, past access to the basement gym, to the snug.

      The dual-aspect formal sitting room has a stone fire breast, with raised hooded grate, and attractive gable round headed window. The corresponding living room/office has an exposed feature stone wall, with fireplace housing a wood burning stove. It gives access to the staircase to first floor, as well as a cloakroom/WC, whilst both rooms have plantation shutters.

      To the rear of the house, the hall leads to a suite of three connected porcelain tiled rooms; a central snug, kitchen and orangery. Whilst the formal front reception rooms allow separation, these are a convivial suite of rooms for families that enjoy being together, or adults that like entertaining.

      The snug is a lovely space, with exposed stone walls, white washed ceiling beams and double sided fireplace, with double-sided wood burner, framing entrances to the dining orangery, with its French doors to, and views of, the private walled garden area. The dual-aspect kitchen, the other side of the snug, has a contemporary suite with wall and base units beneath wooden worktops, incorporating a Belfast style sink, integrated dishwasher and a Stoves gas cooker range. It adjoins a utility with side access to the garden.

      At first floor level, the landing provides access to three elegant double bedrooms, served by a modern full-suite family bathroom, fitted with a claw-footed rolltop bath as well as a separate shower cubicle.

      Outside: Double gates provide access to the property's driveway, adjoining the eastern gable, which links to the walled and gravelled low-maintenance south-facing walled garden. The garden is also accessed from the dining orangery and utility from within the house.

      Annex: within the garden, an atrium lit single storey annex building offers a versatile space, with shower room, entered through French doors from the garden. It is ideal as a fourth en-suite bedroom, or as an office/work room separate to the house.

    I really like this stylish and cool period property. It's beautifully finished and is a perfect village home, as well as an ideal second or investment property. Ketton is also a fabulous community to be part of.
