High StreetIngham, Lincoln, Lincolnshire, LN1 2YW

Offering a sympathetic blend of old and new, this detached house retains a wealth of its Victorian charm – including stained glass, bay windows, fireplaces and picture rails – with the added benefit of a large, modern extension hidden at the rear which adds a generous addition to the square footage. The original part of the house is attractively decorated to suit the age and character of the home, letting the period features and natural materials shine. A muted palette of heritage colours is complemented by pretty wall coverings. In the contemporary extension, a neutral backdrop provides a blank canvas for personalisation, featuring whitewashed walls, large format tiled floors and plenty of glazing to afford lovely views of the gardens as well as promoting excellent natural light. The kitchen is an extension of this, with white gloss cabinets, wooden work surfaces and vibrant pops of red. Appliances include a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, range oven and wine chiller.

The generous family room at the rear combines the kitchen with an open plan dining room and seating area; it’s the ideal space for entertaining and busy family life. In addition, there is the added benefit of a spacious walk-in pantry, adding useful extra storage. At the front of the house, two reception rooms serve as formal living spaces, both with fireplaces adding character. The ground floor is completed by a study, utility room, cloakroom, boot room and gym. Upstairs, the bedrooms are arranged over the first and second floors. The principal room on the first floor has a dressing room and further built-in wardrobes, an en suite shower room and a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden. The three further bedrooms share a family bathroom. On the second floor, a generous attic bedroom has its own en suite and is ideal for visiting guests.

The house enjoys excellent kerb appeal, set back from the road behind ornate wrought iron railings, with a pedestrian gate opening to path that bisects two parcels of lawn – there’s excellent potential for further landscaping. To the side of the house, a gravel driveway provides a wealth of off-street parking: two tandem spaces accessible from the road, leading to double gates that open to a much larger parking area to the rear. Here there is also a large, four bay detached garage, with parking space and a useful storage space on the first floor, plus an electric vehicle charger.

The garden has been extensively landscaped and incorporates several areas for seating: a paved terrace adjoining the kitchen/family room; a decking terrace behind the gym which supports a hot tub; and a further area towards the rear of the garden for enjoying the shrub borders. The expansive lawn is bordered by shrubs and trees, designed to create natural privacy. In addition there is an enclosed kitchen garden to the rear with raised beds and a greenhouse. A shed and summerhouse are situated behind the garage.
