Barrowby Road, Grantham NG31

Please quote TR0236 – A video tour with commentary, 360 degree virtual tour, and A key facts for buyers report is available on this listing – Occupying a non-estate plot of around a quarter of an acre, this handsome detached home offers approximately 2,500 sq ft of beautifully presented accommodation across three floors. Home to the same owners for around 26 years, it has served wonderfully as a family home and has a distinctive presence – almost a ‘Grantham mini mansion’ – with its lawned frontage and block-paved driveway leading to the garage. Beyond the substantial timber entrance door, a welcoming reception hall leads to a cloakroom, box-bay dining room, generous lounge with garden-facing box bay and multi-fuel stove, and a stunning breakfast kitchen with space for everyday dining. This versatility means the separate dining room could equally become a snug, office or playroom. A practical side lobby is ideal for muddy boots or four-legged family members. The first floor provides four genuine double bedrooms, including the principal bedroom with an ensuite, together with a four-piece family bathroom. Above, the second floor creates a superb fifth double bedroom or guest suite with its own ensuite and direct access to a useful walk-in loft. Outside, the mature gardens have been thoughtfully developed over many years, with lawns, stocked borders, a feature pond, fruit trees and several seating areas to enjoy throughout the day. A brick-built barbecue, wood store, greenhouse, shed and chicken coop complete a garden that is as practical as it is attractive. A substantial and individual family home offering space, character, and a mature setting rarely found on a conventional 'modern' estate.
