House For Sale £995,000
A charming four bedroomed period farmhouse with self-contained two bed annexe and further separate home office/gym/movie room in the heart of a vibrant, sought-after village.
Description
46 High Street was originally built circa 1678 and later extended in the 19th and 20th centuries. Arranged around a private courtyard, the Grade ii-listed house and its two curtilage barns form a substantial family home offering great flexibility for living and working. Located in the heart of this lively, friendly village, with its enclosed walled gardens Middlefield House also offers an unexpected degree of privacy. The whole property has been stylishly updated whilst retaining a wealth of original features, including exposed beams and mullioned windows with moulded cornice surrounds.
Internally the main house is beautifully presented, combining a wealth of character features with a variety of modern conveniences including a recently refitted kitchen (2018) with Fisher & Paykel ovens and integral Miele dishwasher. An inglenook fireplace with a modern wood-burning stove in the main sitting room and stylish bath/shower rooms make this a super, comfortable home. Off the courtyard there are two self-contained barn conversions which were lovingly restored and converted in 2018 - one was transformed into a stylish two-bedroom guest annexe offering great scope for entertaining and multi-generational living. The other houses a home office/movie room, home gym & laundry room plus a large garage/workshop.
The accommodation in the main house is well proportioned throughout and offers about 2100 sq ft of space over two floors, plus a useful cellar. The ground floor is entered via a welcoming entrance hall, which leads to a sitting room and adjoining snug/study, an open plan farmhouse kitchen/dining room and a cloakroom with WC. On the first floor there is a principal bedroom with en-suite bathroom, a further en-suite bedroom ideal for guest use and two additional bedrooms, the latter sharing a family bathroom. All the bedrooms are double size and most have built-in storage.
The guest annexe, Granary Barn, is arranged over two storeys, comprising a sitting room with bio-fuel stove, a kitchen/dining room and shower room on the ground floor, with a two-bedrooms on the second floor (one en suite). Granary Barn is currently used for guest accommodation and as an occasional Airbnb holiday let. A further converted barn off the courtyard forms a stylish home gym, laundry/boot room and cloakroom at ground floor level with a spacious home office/movie room on the first floor. The adjoining large garage/workshop provides useful storage and garaging for two- three vehicles and also offers further scope to develop at first floor level subject to planning.
Outside the attractively landscaped south-facing gardens are enclosed on all sides by mellow stone walls typical in this part of Lincolnshire. A large sunny terrace runs the length of the property offering a number of zoned seating and dining areas alongside an Italianate box topiary garden with pool and fountain. Spacious lawns and mature established informal gardens create a wonderful outside space for entertaining. A further enclosed area screened by attractive laurel hedging provides a vegetable garden with raised beds and a useful garden shed.
