Step Inside :-
The 'Tower House' is all about space, light and flexibility. Architecturally unique, this magnificant home is set over three floors with beautifully proportioned rooms, it’s a home that easily adapts to busy family life, entertaining and working from home alike. A broad reception hallway sets the tone, with a striking staircase rising through the centre of the house and large-format tiled flooring with underfloor heating that continues through the principal ground floor rooms for a warm, luxurious feel.
To one side, the main lounge is a wonderfully generous room with twin aspects and multiple windows drawing in the light. A central chimney breast with stone surround houses a working logburning stove, creating a cosy focal point on winter evenings, while there’s ample floor space for substantial seating and media furniture without the room ever feeling crowded.
Opposite, the octagonal snug sits in the curve of the tower with distinctive windows. Currently dressed as an additional sitting room, it would work equally well as a playroom, music room or quiet reading space, a very usable second reception that really lets the family spread out.
Running the depth of the house at the rear, the open-plan kitchen, dining and family area is the real heart of the home. Contemporary cashmere cabinetry is paired with sleek Silestone-style worktops and a matching island/breakfast bar, incorporating a five-burner gas hob with statement extractor, twin “hide and slide” ovens, integrated fridge-freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and wine cooler. There’s excellent storage and work surface space, and the room easily accommodates a large family dining table for everyday meals or entertaining on a bigger scale.
Beyond the dining area, the sun room continues the bright, modern feel with full-width bi-fold doors opening onto the garden and further windows to the side. With the same tiled flooring and underfloor heating, it flows seamlessly from the kitchen to create one expansive living zone, perfect for keeping an eye on children playing, hosting gatherings or simply relaxing with the garden as your backdrop.
A practical cloakroom/WC sits off the hallway along with useful understairs storage, completing a ground floor that feels both impressive and highly functional.
On the first floor, a wide landing with built-in storage leads to three excellent bedrooms. The principal suite occupies the tower, a superbly sized double with dual windows, wall-to-wall fitted wardrobes and its own stylish en-suite shower room with walk-in shower and vanity storage. Bedrooms two and three are both comfortable doubles, served by a modern family bathroom.
The second floor continues the sense of scale, offering two further double bedrooms, one with fitted wardrobes, together with a separate study, ideal for home working, and a contemporary shower room. This top floor works brilliantly as a teenager’s wing, guest floor or multi-generational space.
Completing the accommodation, a staircase from the detached double garage leads up to an impressive studio/games room. Finished to a high standard with natural light, power and heating, it currently houses a full-size pool table and seating but would lend itself perfectly to a home cinema, gym, creative studio or substantial home office separate from the main living space.
STEP OUTSIDE
Set on a generous corner plot, The Tower House has real presence from the street, with lawned gardens wrapping around the front and side, edged with established hedging for privacy and a smart approach to the front door.
Double timber gates open to a broad block-paved driveway at the rear, providing off-road parking for several vehicles and leading to the detached double garage with studio/games room above. It’s a brilliant set-up for families with multiple cars, hobbies or a home business that needs its own dedicated space.
Behind the house, the main garden is safely enclosed by brick walling and fencing, making it ideal for children and pets. A wide expanse of lawn offers plenty of room for play equipment or a kick-about, while the paved patio outside the sun room is perfectly placed for outdoor dining and evening drinks.
Location:Kirkenes Close sits within a popular, modern development on the edge of New Waltham, well placed for both village life and access into Grimsby and Cleethorpes. It’s an area that has become a firm favourite with families, thanks to the choice of well-regarded primary and secondary schooling close by, including highly regarded academies, along with everyday shops and services.
Commuters are well catered for, with straightforward road links towards the A16 and into Grimsby town centre, as well as regular bus routes connecting the surrounding villages, the coast and Louth. Weekend time is easily filled too, with coastal walks, seafront attractions and the open countryside of the Lincolnshire Wolds all within comfortable driving distance.
