Two homes for the price of one on the market near Grantham
This beautiful 17th century house is a warm and welcoming family home with character features and, to top it up, comes with a detached second property just across the garden.
It is a rare ‘two for the price of one’ opportunity for someone to buy The Grove, a property that has been lovingly care for by the same family for generations, and also The Cottage which could be used as additional accommodation by the new owners or rented out separately.
Both are in a central location in the unspoilt village of Old Dalby and while they share the same driveway they have delightful individual gardens.
The Grove has five family-orientated reception rooms including a stunning dining kitchen with contemporary units and a large central island.
It has an oil-fired Aga, a separate range cooker, inset fridge, dishwasher and freezer, a wine rack, double extractor fan and recessed ceiling spotlights. The floor is tiled and there are sun tubes to allow natural daylight into the room.
The large lounge has a feature inglenook fireplace with an inset log burner and a flagstone hearth, exposed beams, access to a cellar and there are dual aspect windows including a bay with views overlooking the garden.
There is a dining room with more beams, a snug, a study, a family room/games room, and a timber-framed conservatory with apex roof and a door opening to the garden.
Ground floor space also includes a utility room with Belfast sink, a separate WC and a ground floor bathroom with a double shower cubicle.
There are three good-sized bedrooms upstairs, each with fitted wardrobes and each with an en suite with baths and heated towel rails.
It has gas central heating and recently installed uPVC double glazed windows.
As well as the heavily beamed ceilings there are other characterful features including latch doors.
The Grove stands in large gardens with lawns, planted borders, a mature shrubbery and chicken coop and there is plenty of off-road parking space at the front of the house.
The Cottage has a generous lounge with dual aspect windows and feature beams. The kitchen has matching units with electric oven and hob and space and plumbing for more appliances.
It has a shower room with WC and wash hand basin and there are two bedrooms and an en suite bathroom.
This property has a good-sized garden at the back and an area for off-road parking at the side.
Both properties are in a tucked away spot in the centre of the village close to the village green and near a popular 17th century pub, church and village school and surrounded by similar attractive properties. It is a setting perfect for family life.
The property has a guide price of £850,000 and can be viewed through Bentons on 01664 563892.
