SELLER INSIGHT

When we first came to view the house it was bathed in sunshine and we wandered round the garden and we knew we wanted it - we hadn’t even walked inside!”

“If it weren’t for a work move, we would stay as we love it. There is potential to do more with it, although it is beautifully spacious and filled with light from the massive windows, many rooms being dual aspect too. The layout has a nice flow, and the spaces are very flexible. For instance, we have used one bedroom as a dressing room, and another as an office. We have particularly loved the energy in the middle lounge which could easily become another bedroom if needed; there is so much room!”

“We have just replaced the conservatory at the back which was a very dated, dilapidated one, with the huge garden room which is a really lovely space to enjoy all year round; the views to the west over the garden and countryside beyond are amazing with gorgeous sunsets, and the bi-folding doors onto the terrace really let the outside in.”

“Underneath the house at the back, there is another room accessed from the garden which we’ve found useful for storage and has lighting and power sockets. There are outside cold and hot water taps which have been great for washing the dogs. It’s nice and cool inside the room and would make a perfect gym, or it could be turned into an office or teenage den perhaps.”

“The garden is a fantastic space in which the dogs have loved to run around! It is fully enclosed, quiet and pretty private with mature shrubs and trees and there lots of places to sit both near the house and further down with areas that are sunny and shady.”

“It’s a great location with easy access to main roads yet there are plenty of footpaths to exercise in the fresh air and attractive countryside; you can walk – or run - to Caythorpe or Leadenham a mile away, or do a route around the village. We have a very popular pub in the village, The Hare & Hounds, which has fine dining, and by car, Navenby is only about 10 minutes away and provides most things you might need.”*
