House For Sale £425,000
A fine Georgian Town House, understood to have been built under the Heathcote Family in the late 18th-century.
This truly elegant Grade II listed property is built predominantly of mellow red brick with painted ashlar dressings under a hipped pantile roof.
Internally, the property offers some delightful features synonymous with the period such as panelled internal doors with original door furniture, open fireplaces, sliding sash windows, moldings and wonderful ceiling height. Accommodation is arranged over three floors offering generous and flexible living space which is complemented by an elegant walled parterre courtyard garden to the rear.
The property is situated in a prominent position in this highly regarded Georgian market town with easy access to Bourne, Grantham, Sleaford and Stamford.
The property has undergone considerable improvements over the last couple of years, including a full refurbishment of the roof, added insulation, and renovation of many windows.
Step Inside - A large central panelled front door with traceried fanlight opens into the entrance hallway, with block oak flooring.
The drawing room and dining rooms are both beautifully proportioned rooms and accessed right and left with the breakfast kitchen and cloakroom located at the rear of the hall.
The elegant drawing room has an open fireplace with ornate surround, an inbuilt cupboard with traceried fanlight over, where there was previous access to the Market Place. The room has a lovely sash window to the front along with a further window to the side elevation, both flooding this elegant room with natural light.
Across the hallway is the beautifully proportioned dining room, again with sash window, fireplace with ornate wooden surround, and for ease, a glazed door leading directly into the breakfast kitchen.
The breakfast kitchen runs along the rear of the property with direct access through French doors into the beautiful walled courtyard garden. The kitchen itself offers an extensive range of wall and floor cabinets from Smallbone of Devizes, which are complemented by further bespoke cabinetry finished with granite and wooden work surfaces.
Completing the ground floor accommodation is the recently fitted guest cloakroom with wc and wash hand basin.
First Floor - From the hallway an attractive staircase rises to the first floor landing area, where two generous bedrooms can be found.
The first bedroom is currently used a study/library, with a range of in built book shelves and storage cupboards and a beautiful marble fire place housing a cast iron fire grate. A large sash window overlooks the front elevation with a further window to the side, making for a very pleasing, peaceful room, whatever the use.
Across the landing is the generous second bedroom, again with a sash window to the front elevation. Leading off this bedroom is a dressing room, which would also make an ideal ensuite.
To the rear of the landing is a shower room, with large walk-in shower, wc and wash hand basin.
Next door is the family bathroom, with panelled bath, shower, wc and wash hand basin.
From a practical perspective, a very useful utility cupboard housing the washing machine and tumble dryer is located off the first floor landing.
Second Floor - The staircase rises to a very pretty second floor landing, with room for a desk or easy chair, making it an ideal place to work, read or simply to relax.
Either side are two charming guest bedrooms, both of which are very generous in size. Each is dual aspect and fitted with a range of in built wardrobes.
To complete the accommodation is a cloakroom with wc and wash hand basin.
Outside - The property sits on a slightly elevated position with views across the charming marketplace.
Bounded to the West by a small Buxus hedge with ample car parking space directly outside.
To the rear is a charming walled parterre courtyard, providing the perfect low maintenance outdoor space in which to relax or entertain.
There are a couple of outdoor storage spaces along with a personnel gate providing access to this and the neighboring property.
Folkingham - The popular conservation village of Folkingham has fantastic amenities including a post office, deli style village store, public house, church and tea room. The area is served well with schooling in the surrounding villages including Osbournby, Ingoldsby and Billingborough with secondary education including highly regarded grammar schools in Bourne and Sleaford.
