SELLER INSIGHT The location is superb: it is so peaceful here surrounded by open fields, the golf course and masses of wildlife. It feels like you are living in the country and yet you can be in the centre of Skegness in five minutes. They call our road ‘Millionaire’s Row’- all lovely houses with wonderful views! Gibraltar Point Nature Reserve is just down the road and is a beautiful place to walk with the sea to the east.”

“Over the last two years we have totally renovated the property, which I believe was originally built in the 1930s. We fell in love with the house and the location and knew the property could be transformed into something special. My wife trained as an interior designer so has a very good eye and all the work was completed with no expense spared.”

“We employed a local firm, DC Architectural Services, to help design and oversee the whole project including obtaining full planning permission. Their expertise and experience ensured the design and fittings of the extension and the en suites were of an impeccable standard.”

“Firstly, we reroofed the house; we also rewired, replumbed and replastered everywhere. We fitted a top of the range Valiant gas boiler system – it heats 20 litres of water in 2 minutes - and all new designer radiators throughout. All the old door frames, skirting and architraves have been replaced with new solid oak ones, all bespoke. The floors are all solid oak and we have introduced a modern panelling feature using strips of solid oak in various places such as around the stairs and in what we call the ‘show kitchen’. It was a time consuming job for a team of master craftsmen! Four of the five bedrooms have en suites, the master with fitted wardrobes forming a dressing area. The property wiring is Cat 9 so it is set up as a Smart Home, and all the sockets and switches are in black nickel.

Every little detail has been considered – we really have put our hearts and souls into the property!”

“We also extended the property at the back creating a large sunroom used at the moment as a dining room, with bifold doors onto the garden with a balcony above reached through French doors from two of the bedrooms; from upstairs and down you can enjoy fantastic sunsets and see the wildlife in the fields and the garden. We see muntjac deer, squirrels, pheasants, foxes, owls and more!”

“There is plenty of room for entertaining with an exceptionally large lounge combined with the show kitchen which is lined with contemporary units providing an enormous amount of storage, additional to all those in the adjoining working kitchen. And then there is the sunroom which spans the width of the house and is so lovely in summer with the doors folded back to bring the outside in.”

“The exterior has been partially clad in Siberian larch with a protective finish of Treatex Red Cedar.

There is timber decking along the back of the house for al fresco dining, as well as down one side.

The garden is completely enclosed with fencing and we built a boundary wall rendered to match the house at the front where automatic gates and an intercom system provide security.”* * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.
