Property description

Fine and Country Northern Lincolnshire are delighted to offer to sale this substantial five bedroom detached Edwardian home convenient for the town centre amenities. Retaining much period detail the property briefly comprises of a dual aspect elegant principal lounge, dining room overlooking the southern gardens and a 22’ day room linked to both the garden room and the oak effect kitchen. To the first floor in addition to the master suite with en-suite shower room and walk in wardrobe there are four further generous bedrooms together with a refurbished family bathroom. The accommodation is completed by a useful attic room. In addition to the driveway parking there is a 53’ former coach house which provides both garaging and workshop facilities. The principal lawned gardens lie to the south of the property. Branksea – always home.

Branksea is a fine example of a five bedroom detached Edwardian home which offers outstanding family accommodation in a rarely available location convenient for the town centre and educational amenities. Retaining much original detailing such as a fine return staircase, wainscot panelling and decorative plater work, this striking home has been extended and amended over time – the former coach house is now utilised as garaging and workshop – yet still affords an opportunity for further enhancement.

There is a warmth and welcome to the well proportioned accommodation together with an excellent versatility which caters for most family occasions: the principal dual aspect lounge retains an original elegance, the 16’11 dining room overlooking the southern gardens is suited to more formal family celebrations and the day room is a more relaxed, private retreat joined to the oak effect kitchen via a garden room which in turn links home to garden.

The first floor landing with its distinctive arched recesses serves four double bedrooms together with a superb master suite with en-suite shower room and walk in wardrobe. A delightful refurbished family bathroom with roll top bath completes this floor and a concealed staircase opens to a 24’7 attic room which could easily become a bespoke office, studio or teenage hideaway if required.

Branksea is discreetly situated, the principal elevation and gardens lie to the southern aspect to create a feeling of secure privacy yet easily accessible to the town centre amenities and to the outstanding St James and St Martins schools. In addition to the driveway parking the former coach house now provides a 53’ garage area with an attached 19’ workshop: ideal for the enthusiastic hobbyist or as a potential conversion to a gymnasium or annex (subject to permission) as required.Branksea envelops with its welcome and slowly reveals itself like an old friend.

Branksea – always home.
