Chestnut FarmhouseMain Street, Gayton Le Marsh, Alford, LN13 0NW

Chestnut Farmhouse is set in an idyllic position, within beautiful gardens in the small village of Gayton le Marsh. The property dates from the early 18th century and has been extended, but still offers various splendid original details, including attractive red brick elevations and slate roof, while inside there are exposed timber beams and impressive fireplaces.

The ground floor features three comfortable reception rooms, providing plenty of space in which to relax. They include the sitting room and dining room in the original part of the home, both of which have beams overhead and fireplaces, with the grand sitting room fireplace being fitted with a log burner. Further living space includes the generous sun room, with its modern styling and panoramic windows, flooding the room with natural light and affording stunning views across the gardens. Adjoining the sun room, the well-equipped kitchen has contemporary shaker-style units to base and wall level, an integrated hob and double oven and under-counter space for additional home appliances.

There are four well-presented bedrooms arranged across the first and second floors. The first floor features two bedrooms of similar proportions, one of which benefits from an en suite shower room, in addition to a large family bathroom with a bathtub and separate shower. Stairs continue to a galleried second-floor landing, off which there are two further bedrooms, both with exposed timber eaves and dormer windows.

At the entrance to the property, gates open to the gravel driveway, which provides parking and turning space and leads to the detached workshop, store and garage, with covered parking. The gardens to the front and rear of the house include pristine lawns, terraced dining areas, colourful, vibrant border beds bursting with life, a kitchen garden with raised beds, fruit cages, greenhouse and fruit trees, wooded areas and wildflower meadows, with an enchanting natural pond, which is a haven for wildlife. There is also a brick-built outbuilding, providing further space to relax and enjoy the garden setting.
