Property description

Fine and Country Northern Lincolnshire offer for sale this striking four bedroom detached Grade II Listed historic cottage in the well respected village of Burton upon Stather. Fusing traditional charm with modern sophistication the property briefly includes a superb centrally situated day kitchen with exposed truss work, 24'9 principal lounge, intimate sitting room and formal dining room. The first floor master suite includes en-suite with Jacuzzi bath and the family bathroom is stylishly appointed with both bath and separate shower. There is extensive reception parking together with a double garage and the principal gardens are remarkably private. Avenue Cottage – style brought home.

Understood to have been the original Normanby Estate gamekeepers cottage and stable, Avenue Cottage is a Grade II Listed four bedroom detached family home of unique character and charm. Constructed in 1752 utilising the local ironstone and brick the cottage has been enhanced by the current owners to create an excellent social home in which the modern sophistication subtly enhances the period detail.

This well balanced and eminently flexible home is centred around the stunning day kitchen with its exposed stone and truss work contrasting with the sleek lines of the modern units to provide a relaxed social heart. The principal triple aspect 24'9 lounge enjoys access to the gardens and the forward facing sitting room is a more private intimate retreat. The dining room, which leads off the kitchen, is ideal for family celebrations.

To the first floor the master suite with its dressing area and en-suite with Jacuzzi bath again carefully blends the traditional and the modern whilst the three remaining, light and airy bedrooms are served by a family bathroom with both double ended bath and separate shower.

The climber clad façade offers a traditional welcome and the romantic scent of Old English rambling roses permeates the remarkably private rear gardens – a haven for relaxed socialising and barbecues. A wide side driveway and double garage completes the property.

Avenue Cottage welcomes with its charm and surprises with its sophistication: style brought home.
