Property description
\"A home that modestly hides its charms\". This former pair of traditional Lincolnshire cottages, brought to the market through Fine and Country Northern Lincolnshire, has been skilfully transformed and extended into a distinctive, sociable home that retains a discreet privacy. Situated within the catchment of the prestigious Caistor Grammar School and on the historic Viking Way, this subtlety styled home in approximately half an acre of lawned grounds encapsulates the best traditions of family living.
The combination of a 25' sitting room, well appointed breakfast kitchen and stunning garden room ensure it is an outstanding entertaining home, a secure family space and a retreat from the rigours of modern life. The first floor family bathroom has been recently refurbished to include a contemporary double ended bath and separate shower and the additional ground floor bathroom and study caters for the practicalities of country living. The four bedrooms are light and airy spaces in which to relax.
Above all there is space to breathe - the primarily lawned grounds are linked to the garden room by a gated terrace designed for family enjoyment and informal entertaining. This is a home which gently embraces with its quiet charm.
