Property description

Fine and Country Northern Lincolnshire are delighted to offer this five bedroom detached cottage style property in a sought after commuter village. Eminently flexible accommodation includes a panelled lounge with study off, second private sitting room and sewing/music room. The well appointed kitchen with distinctive preparation area/utility links to a generous dining room. The master suite is complemented by four further bedrooms and a family bathroom. Beautifully enclosed gardens with extensive parking and double garage. Superbly versatile property that could accommodate a separate annex. Havercroft – all the home you ever need.

This substantial detached family home with paddock side views, affords flexible, well proportioned five bedroom accommodation within approximately quarter of an acre lawned grounds.

Situated in the historic commuter village of Ashby cum Fenby with its Roman well and entry in the Domesday Book, Havercroft was constructed in 1987 as a cottage style family home and subsequently extended to cater for a growing family. Indeed it could easily be adapted to accommodate either a dependent relative or stay at home teenager.

 

The prospective purchaser is welcomed via a hallway to a striking panelled bay fronted lounge with a Victorian marble fireplace and study with former dark room off. The well appointed breakfast kitchen is the communal heart of the home with its distinctive off set preparation/utility area and an adjoining dining room opens to the rear gardens to provide an outstanding area for relaxed entertaining. The second sitting room is a quiet retreat with garden views ideal for more private moments. The sewing/music room and adjacent shower room could be ideal for a dependent relative if required.

 

The first floor divides readily into two sections: the main landing serves two double bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom whilst an inner landing opens to a 13'8 sitting/dressing room (potential bedroom six) together with two further generous bedrooms and the master suite. Indeed this entire section could be linked to the ground floor to form separate accommodation if required (subject to the necessary permissions).

In addition to the horseshoe driveway there is a four car concrete drive which leads to the integral double garage and the enclosed primarily lawned grounds offer a high degree of security and privacy.

 

Ashby cum Fenby is superbly placed to take advantage of the excellent schools at Caistor, East Ravensadale, Louth and Grimsby. It lies between the Lincolnshire Wolds and the East Coast and is accessible to the M180 motorway network and further beyond. Rural not remote.

 

Havercroft offers substantial and flexible family accommodation in a premier location.
