A handsome Grade II-listed brick farmhouse with outbuildings in sought after village approximately ten miles from Grantham train station.
Enjoying an idyllic rural setting on the edge of Fulbeck, Washdyke Farm is a Grade II-listed chequered brick farmhouse with pleasingly symmetrical front elevations. The house is believed to date back to 1837 and was formerly a working farm, with the main house complemented by a detached outbuilding comprising a barn, stabling and a carport. The property was refurbished and extended in 1987 and still retains much of its period character, including sash windows, cast iron fireplaces and exposed beams, though has received a number of modern touches including the stylish farmhouse-style Shorthand kitchen with its wood cabinetry and central island, a SONOS sound system in the formal reception room and contemporary bath and shower rooms.
The 2400 sq ft of accommodation is well appointed throughout, in a modern country style that's ready for immediate occupation though still offers the new owner plenty of scope for personalisation. The rooms are spacious and bright, with good proportions to the reception rooms and bedrooms, making it an ideal family home. There are three reception areas, formal sitting and dining rooms and a snug, while the kitchen is well equipped for entertaining and also benefits from a separate utility room and two cloakrooms. Of the four light and airy bedrooms, two are en suite, while the remaining two bedrooms share a family bathroom.
The setting of the house is close to all the village amenities including a great pub, while having a distinctly rural feel adjoining open countryside and a stream. The property is set about 2.77 acres of land, and together with its outbuildings, offers great potential for smallholding, or for conversion to residential use (subject to necessary consents). The outbuildings are separate to the main house, forming a paved courtyard in the middle that provides ample private parking, and include car ports, stabling and a large barn. The gardens that surround the property are mature and thoughtfully stocked with a wide variety of shrubs, trees and flowers. There is further land available by separate negotiation of about 5 acres, adjoining the property.
