About this property

  • This detached 1930s family home, which won design awards when constructed, retains a wealth of charm and period character. Set back within idyllic gardens of 0.38 of an acre, the south facing house occupies a discrete position, with great privacy.

    Approached along a wide driveway, offering parking for several vehicles and access to the two garages, the double fronted house has a beautifully presented interior, with wood floors and period fireplaces, the entrance hall is flanked by a wonderful double aspect sitting room, with external door to the loggia and garden, and a separate formal dining room. The kitchen/breakfast room lines the back of the house, adjoining a versatile garden room with access to one of the garages. At first floor four excellent bedrooms are ideal for a growing family and include two with eaves access, served by a full suite family bathroom.

    Accommodation
    Entered onto a large central entrance hall with a parquet floor. The elegant dual aspect sitting room has solid wood flooring, a period fireplace and, with its south and west orientation, is bathed in natural light. It offers tremendous garden views, and French doors to a covered garden loggia. An additional dining room is ideal for entertaining, or as a home office, and the kitchen breakfast room lines the rear of the house, with space for a range cooker, a central breakfast bar and ample space for a dining table. A garden room is generously sized and versatile to your own needs, and links to one of the integral garages.

    Upstairs on the first floor a refined double aspect principal bedroom and large second bedroom both have classic picture rails and doors to deep eaves storage. The further two bedrooms are equally impressive, and a contemporary family bathroom has a modern bath and walk-in shower cubicle.

    Outside
    A sweeping driveway leads past the hedgerows, lawns and flowerbeds with their wide array of trees and shrubs to the front of the property. A landscaped patio supplies a tranquil spot to unwind next to a tall palm tree and double garaging provides off-road parking. The extensive and established lawns wrap-around to the rear generating an abundance of space for al fresco dining and an idyllic backdrop to the house. An additional side patio area is accessed from the kitchen, and beautifully planted borders lend ample colour and interest.

This is an elegant 1930s home which, unlisted, strikes me has potential for extension, subject to consents. Set back within its fabulous gardens, the house has a wonderful feel, whilst it's south orientation ensures it is naturally lit. However, my children would love the space afforded outside in the mature and large gardens. Space to grow, space to play and a convenient position for Spalding's town centre shops and its primary, private, state and grammar schools, there is much to like in this home.
