A detached farmhouse within gardens of circa half an acre, in an attractive rural setting two miles south of the Lincolnshire market town of Bourne, 14 miles north of Peterborough station.
Offered for sale for the first time in fifty years, the south west facing house is approached along a gravelled driveway with ample parking in front of the integral double garage. It has been loved and well looked after by the sellers, who have lived in the property since it was built, and it would benefit from cosmetic upgrade, along with a new boiler, as the current biomass system, linked to the neighbouring property will be separated on completion. This property's solar panels have netted approximately £2,000pa from their feed-in tariff over the past year, however this is subject to changing fees.
Accommodation: The front door opens into an entrance lobby, with a cloaks/boot room alongside it, from which an inner door opens to a wide reception hallway offering access to the office, the sitting room and the dining kitchen.
The office is dual aspect and would double well as a playroom. Double doors open from the hallway to the sitting room, a triple aspect room with an almost full height wall of glass within which French doors open to the garden, whilst a low stone fireplace houses and electric fire.
The dining kitchen is well proportioned, with ample space for a large dining table, and a fitted oak suite with base units incorporating ovens, hob, and dishwasher appliances.
Utility room alongside as plumbing for white goods, whilst offering access to the integral double garage, with two electric roller shutter doors, and a rear entrance lobby with second cloakroom/W.C and a workshop store.
At first floor level, the landing access is four bedrooms, the family bathroom and a separate cloakroom/W.C. The principal bedroom is a good size double, with fitted wardrobes and an ensuite shower room. The three further bedrooms are well placed for access to the family bathroom, with a separate W.C.
Outside
The properties approached from Northorpe Fen by a gravel driveway that leads through the gardens to turning sweep at the house, with access to the double garage. The house is positioned in the centre of its garden plots, with front, side and rear lawns , with partial hedge, laurel and Leyland boundaries and a number of mature apple trees. The garden extends to just over 0.5 of an acre in total.

What a fabulously large plot this is, such scope to reconfigure or extend!
