Description

Windrush is a beautifully appointed, architect-designed contemporary detached home, built in 2023. Offering four bedrooms and a wealth of airy, stylish accommodation, it is set in a peaceful and picturesque village location between Grantham and Newark, with no direct neighbours and stunning views over pony paddocks and open fields.

The property is arranged across a single accessible level, with the main everyday living and entertaining space being the generous open-plan living, dining area and kitchen. The vaulted ceiling with exposed solid oak eaves and the glass wall adjoining the main hallway create a wonderful sense of space, while the skylight overhead and full-height windows with sliding doors to the garden welcome plenty of natural light and create a seamless connection to the outdoors. A fireplace fitted with a log burner adds warmth and character, while the space easily accommodates both a seating area and a family dining table.

The contemporary kitchen is superbly equipped with sleek fitted units, a central island with breakfast bar, and a full suite of integrated appliances including a self-cleaning oven, microwave oven, full-height fridge and freezer, dishwasher, wine fridge, and a hot and cold filtered water tap. A separate utility room provides additional storage and space for home appliances, including two integrated washing machines.

There are four well-presented double bedrooms, including the stunning, luxury principal bedroom with large sliding glass doors opening onto the garden, a dressing room, and a splendid en suite bathroom with a freestanding bathtub, dual washbasins, and a separate shower unit. One further bedroom benefits from an en suite shower room, while a stylish family bathroom includes an over-bath shower.

At the entrance, security gates open onto a spacious tarmac driveway, providing ample parking and access to a large detached garaging block. External stairs lead to the upper level of the garage, where there is an approx. 31ft reception room and a shower room-ideal for use as an annexe or guest suite, subject to the necessary planning consent.

The rear garden is a standout feature, with a generous patio for al fresco dining and a level lawn bordered by fencing and mature trees. At the bottom of the garden, a dedicated area is already serviced with electricity, water, and sewage, making it perfect for a future summer house, annexe, or garden office, subject to the necessary planning consent, with its own private access via double gates.

For pet lovers, the property also includes full-height double kennels and an enclosed garden area for dogs, ensuring a safe and comfortable space for four-legged family members.
