The Cottage, 13 Moor Lane, Leasingham, Sleaford, NG34

A detached five-bedroom home in a desirable village set amongst mature gardens, with a detached barn offering annexe potential.

Description

This detached period home has been a much-loved family home for over three decades and has been updated significantly by the vendor, including new bathrooms, a full internal renovation and most recently, all new windows and doors installed in 2022. The origins of the house go back to the 1600s, with character features including horsehair plaster, exposed beams and brick and stone fireplaces, with the original elements complemented by more modern additions. The house has been well maintained and is mostly neutral throughout, with fantastic potential for further improvements by the new owner.

The accommodation is split between the main house and a separate barn with the latter offering fantastic scope for conversion to an annexe, subject to planning permission, which would make the home ideal for multi-generational living. The main house is a good size at about 2153 sq ft, and has a great layout for family life with both formal and informal spaces for entertaining. The ground floor has two good-size reception rooms at the front of the house, with an open plan kitchen and dining room at the rear which has an adjoining pantry and a shower room with WC. The first-floor bedrooms are arranged around a central landing and include four double size bedrooms and a single, with a family bathroom completing the accommodation.

The Cottage is set back from the road behind a brick driveway which has plenty of space for parking, and access to the attached double garage. The gardens are on three sides: a formal front garden shielding the house from the road, a courtyard garden to the rear perfect for outdoor dining and a large lawned space to the side, which features a wide variety of trees including apple, plum, walnut, damson and medlar varieties.
