Washdyke Lane, Fulbeck, Grantham, NG32

A charming and graceful residence with glorious gardens and a private position, standing prominently in the heart of this enviable Cliff Village with superb local transport links, including London within 1 hour from Grantham by rail.

DESCRIPTION

Situated in the heart of one of the most sought-after and attractive villages in Lincolnshire, tucked away up a sweeping driveway with the rear of the property abutting Washdyke Lane, this glorious Grade II listed private residence has been lovingly and meticulously maintained by the current owners to create a warm and welcoming home.

The well-proportioned and generous accommodation includes a formal entrance hall from the front door, as well as a practical rear hallway which is also ideal as a bootroom, with both a shower room and utility conveniently placed adjoining it. The country kitchen boast an Everhot stove and fitted larder cupboard, together with stunning vistas over the handsome gardens. There are two further reception halls to the ground floor, once currently being used as a family room but would equally be ideal as a dining room, the other being a more formal drawing room.

The first floor is accessed via two staircases. The front staircase leads to four spacious double bedrooms and a family bathroom, the other staircase leads up to a large, versatile space that could be used as a fifth bedroom (shower room below) or is also suitable as a sizeable home office and/or snug.

OUTSIDE

The property is approached either via the pedestrian gate off Washdyke Lane, or more regularly via the gated driveway from Scott's Hill. As you enter the through the gate, there is a lawn to one's left that leads to sheltered trees, as well as a greenhouse and a range of attractive, period barns that are currently used for garaging and storage, but would similarly be suitable for conversion, subject to planning.

The beautiful gardens are predominately laid to lawn, complemented by a plethora of beds, shrubs and trees. A barbecue area is located towards the eastern boundary, together with a large paved flagstone terrace immediately outside the principal dwelling that provides an additional space for outdoor dining and entertaining.
