Description

The property is an impressive detached family home with handsome red brick elevations, set in a desirable position in the village of Doddington, within reach of Lincoln city centre (approx. 6.9 miles). The property offers four bedrooms and a wealth of light, airy and comfortable accommodation with elegant styling and high-quality fittings throughout.

The ground floor has four main reception rooms, providing plenty of space in which to relax and entertain. These include the generous, triple aspect sitting room with its wood burning stove and French doors opening on to the rear gardens, and the similarly proportioned dining room, which adjoins the kitchen via two open entrances, creating a splendid semi open-plan feel.

The kitchen is a high quality Neptune 'Suffolk Kitchen' with quartz worktops, shaker-style units, a central island, a butler sink and an Everhot eco range cooker, while the breakfast room provides space for informal dining and the utility room offers further space for home storage and appliances. Additionally, the ground floor has a stunning orangery across the back of the house with a sunny south-facing aspect, a glass roof and dual French doors opening on to the rear gardens.

Upstairs, the galleried landing leads to four well-presented bedrooms, including the large principal bedroom with its en suite shower room. The three further bedrooms are all en suite with either bath or shower rooms, with one also benefitting from a walk-in wardrobe.

At the front of the property, the gravel driveway provides ample parking, while the garage is located just outside the main entrance and provides further parking and a useful office space. The gardens are mostly to the rear and enjoy a south-facing aspect, welcoming sunshine throughout the day. They include three patio seating areas, one of which is shaded by a wooden pergola, as well as an area of lawn, bordered by well-stocked, colourful flowerbeds and various established shrubs and hedgerows.
