A beautifully appointed period home, a short distance from the centre of the Georgian market town of Grantham, forming part of the 2007 conversion of a Kings Grammar School boarding house.
The Property
Newton Place is a stunning unique family home dating back to the 19th century set within a private gated community of just 10 homes. The property has been thoughtfully improved and updated whilst retaining much of its original character including panelled walls, original fireplaces and tall sash windows which are wonderfully complemented by modern additions such as underfloor heating, a tasteful contemporary décor scheme, and stylish bath and shower rooms. The result is a truly striking and uniquely appointed home which appreciates the original charm of the property while bringing it firmly into the present day. The ceiling heights, combined with the bright, mostly neutral interiors and large windows, make the property feel exceptionally light and bright. At the heart of the home there is an impressive modern country-style kitchen/dining room which provides a fabulous place to entertain.
Accommodation
The accommodation extends to over 2300 sq ft across two floors with generously proportioned living space throughout. The ground floor is accessed via a grand and imposing entrance hall with W.C./cloakroom leading through to a well-sized living room with panelled walls, striking original fireplace and double doors out to the rear gardens. The kitchen/dining room is a particular highlight and enjoys an open plan design complete with high vaulted ceilings, underfloor heating, complementary granite worksurfaces and handsome bespoke cabinetry. From here is the snug/office/study as well as a useful utility room. Occupying the first floor is the principal bedroom which benefits from large wall-to-wall windows with a southerly aspect providing an abundance of natural light, fitted wardrobes and en suite shower room, a further en suite bedroom, two additional bedrooms and a contemporary family bathroom.
