Location

Ingoldsby is an attractive rural village lying in a delightful part of south west Lincolnshire, just 8 miles from Grantham with its amenities and mainline station.

The market towns of Bourne and Sleaford are about 10 and 15 miles respectively and the town of Stamford is approximately 20 miles to the south.

There is a good local primary school and secondary education opportunities include boys and girls grammar schools at Grantham together with public schooling at Stamford. Trains to London (Kings Cross) from Grantham with a journey time from around 70 minutes, making commuting a popular and realistic proposition.

Scotland Lane is situated just outside and to the west of the village and is a no through road which becomes a track into nearby Ingoldsby wood and the Mereway, making riding out directly from the property an attractive option. In addition there are various local footpaths through lovely varied countryside.

Description

This deceptively spacious semi-detached barn conversion, which was converted in 2000, is positioned on a rural lane close to the edge of Ingoldsby village and near the woodland and farmland that is part of the 1,500 acre Boothby Wildland Rewilding Project, offering fabulous nature walks and riding opportunities.


Accessed from Scotland Lane to extensive gravelled parking, there is also a secondary entrance and driveway that approaches the house through the land to the stables and garage, which could easily become the main approach.


Accommodation Extended with the garden room and enhanced by the current owners, the property offers generously proportioned rooms with attractive views over its gardens, grounds and field, whilst one of its many strengths is the connectivity of the ground floor reception rooms, to the gardens.


The font door opens into a stairwell hall, which provides access to the living room/study, the sitting/dining room and the kitchen/breakfast room.


The sitting/dining room is fabulously proportioned. 29' long, with high timber beamed ceiling, solid wood flooring and a brick inglenook housing a wood-burning stove. The dual-aspect room also has double doors that open externally to the gardens, and internally to the study/living room as well as the triple aspect garden room, with two sets of bi-folding doors to the gardens. The triple aspect living room/study, would double perfectly as a play room, and has French doors that open to the garden.


From the hallway, the vaulted and spacious dual-aspect kitchen/breakfast room has a stone flagged floor and ample room for informal dining. It is fitted with a shaker style suite, with an extensive range of wall and base units, a Rangemaster double oven range and a central island.


A rear lobby has access to a separate utility room and ground floor bedroom four, which is fitted with a bank of wardrobes.
   

At first floor level, a wide landing provides access to the three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom is particularly spacious, with dual-aspect views and a shower. Bedroom two is also a large double bedroom, with dressing area. It, and bedroom three, are well placed for the full-suite family bathroom, with bath and separate shower.


Outside The property has an attractive, low maintenance garden, to two sides of the house, linking the gravelled driveway and turning sweep, off Scotland Lane, which links around the house to the paddock, stable block and rear driveway that leads to Grantham Road.


The south-east facing garden, has gravelled paths between kitchen garden beds, privet hedges and flowering borders. The paddock is next to the garden at its eastern end, extending to the south, with hedgerow boundaries to the road. The paddock is post and railed, with a water supply. The property measures 1.98 acres, or thereabouts in total.
