An impressive detached farmhouse and converted barn with a standout finish, within around 0.75 acres of gardens in a delightful rural setting between the market towns of Spalding and Bourne
This beautifully presented house, centrally positioned within its gardens, combines the charm of a period farmhouse with the contemporary design and finish of a renovated barn conversion, all lovingly restoration by the current owners.
This house is all about natural light and framed views from inside of the gardens and setting. The finishes have been carefully thought through. The ground floor is largely travertine, with solid oak under-floor heating within the 51' family kitchen. The house has in-built Sonos surround sound and CCTV systems and oak framed double-glazed windows and doors. It is a fabulous home.
Accommodation
The glazed front door enters into the central link between original house and extended barn, lining up with rear doors to the garden. It offers great internal and external sight lines of the garden and house, espousing a sense of space and light.
To the right, the hallway accesses a utility/boot room and family shower room, with two ground floor bedrooms, one with wood burning stove and French doors to the garden, along with the staircase to the first floor.
To the left, the hallway opens into the spacious, triple aspect family dining kitchen with vaulted and trussed ceiling, which is a room with real impact. Incorporating a bespoke fitted suite with extensive units and large central island, under granite and solid wood worktops, it incorporates a classic deluxe range, double Belfast sink and integrated appliances, including two dishwashers and wine fridge. With defined kitchen, dining and seating areas, this is a statement room, with five sets of French doors opening to the gardens.
At first floor level there are three further bedrooms, served by a well-appointed full suite family bathroom.
Outside
The property is centrally positioned within the garden, with the most glorious country views. Approached through double gates to an extensive driveway and turning sweep, offering parking for a number of vehicles. The drive is framed by lawns and fruit trees. The principal gardens lie to the south and east of the house, with sweeping lawns, with mature trees, which border farmland to the south. A large terrace adjoins the kitchen and runs along the length of an adjoining range of barns, leading to a gym building at one end. A kitchen garden, with four sets of railway sleeper retained beds has further fruit trees alongside. The gardens extend to about 0.75 of an acre.
Planning
Planning consent, dated May 2022 (Ref H14-0246-22) permits the extension of the house, with alterations, to incorporate the adjoining range of barns into the accommodation, linking to an indoor swimming pool building.

This is a fantastic home. It has a great feel and finish, I love the connectivity between the south facing gardens and the standout family kitchen - its scale, impact and connectivity with the garden is great for families with children, or those who love entertaining.
