An impressive, individual modern residence with four bedrooms and high-specification fittings, set on the edge of the popular village of Caistor.
The property is a striking and individual detached eco home, designed by an award winning architect and forming part of a small, highly regarded development by Hodson Architects, which was recognised with the LABC Building Excellence Award for Best Small Housing Development (2014). Designed with a strong emphasis on passive solar principles, the house has been carefully orientated to maximise natural light and solar gain, with expansive south and west facing glazing creating a superb sense of space and a strong connection to the garden. The result is a bright, energy conscious home offering both architectural interest and practical, low energy living.
Positioned on the outskirts of this well regarded village, the house features white rendered elevations and a distinctive swooping, overhanging roofline, creating a sheltered entrance and an immediately impressive first impression.
Inside, the hallway opens into a stunning open-plan living and entertaining space extending the full length of the house. This area includes wooden flooring, a woodburning stove, French doors opening to the garden, and glazed walls with sliding doors leading into the south-facing conservatory. There is ample room for both seating and dining, alongside a contemporary kitchen fitted with sleek units, a central island and integrated appliances. Additional ground-floor accommodation includes a formal dining room, a separate sitting room and the bright conservatory, which has a glass roof and matching sliding doors that blend indoor and outdoor living. A cloakroom and utility room, providing storage and appliance space.
An oak staircase rises to the first floor, where a landing incorporates a small seating area and leads to four beautifully presented bedrooms, each enjoying south-facing views over the rear gardens. The principal bedroom includes a dressing area and an en suite shower room with a rainfall shower and dual washbasins. A family bathroom, fitted with both a bath and separate shower which serves the remaining rooms.
At the front, a paved driveway provides parking with access to a detached double garage at the rear, suitable for storage or workshop use. The gardens extend to the side and rear, facing south and west, and include spacious patios for al fresco dining, a greenhouse, raised beds, a summer house and a well-maintained lawn bordered by shrubs, hedging and colourful flowering perennials.
