Sheepgate, Leverton, Boston PE22 0AR

As agents marketing some of the areas finest homes we are privileged to see a lot of beautiful properties but it is rare to come across one that seems to have it all without any need to compromise on anything at all. Living just around the corner ourselves we may be a little biased when it comes to the location, but to us there is nothing greater than life in a rural Lincolnshire village, being surrounded by fresh air, country fields and with miles of coastal walks just on the doorstep.

Built in the early 1990's by a local well-respected builder, the property was designed in the timeless classic style of a fine five-bedroom Georgian manor house upon a plot extending to approximately two acres. The current owners bought the property in 2020, having admired it themselves for many years. They fell in love with both the house and gardens straight away and had a vision which would mean renovating the whole property in a style which was both faithful to the more traditional features of the Georgian era and yet at the same time created themselves a light, spacious home to suit modern family life.

I cannot stress enough that absolutely no expense has been spared in the refurbishment of the property and every detail has been so well-considered; from the bespoke hand-made Murdoch Troon kitchen with walnut worktops, beautiful quality Burlington bathroom and en-suite fittings and Regency style fireplaces with Clearview wood-burners, to the brand new doors and windows with brass fittings, luxury carpets and oak and limestone floors- we think that the end result speaks for itself. Each room has been decorated with a combination of Farrow and Ball paint finishes and luxury wall papers and the classic designs of William Morris, Little Greene and Ralph Lauren have been selected to best suit the individual style and mood of each room.

With its private sweeping driveway and surrounded by its own immaculately presented gardens, there is a wonderful feeling of space here and the property is filled with natural light. The floorplan internally has been re-designed during the renovation to enable a lovely relaxed flow between the three beautifully appointed reception rooms all with open aspects over the gardens. When they first showed me around the owners told me that not a day goes by when they don't open their curtains and feel lucky to have that incredible view.

The plot is enclosed by a range of well-maintained trees, topiary box and hedges providing the most secluded garden. The property is approached between two brick pillars and the extensive sweeping tarmac driveway, lined with lavender, leads up through the front garden to the Attached Double Garage, with lights and power and an integral door to the property itself.

Extensive gardens to both the front, side and rear aspects of the property are impeccably well looked after and laid in the majority to shaped lawns with an incredible array of spring bulbs and flowering shrubs such as mature hydrangeas, David Austin roses and cottage garden plants that ensure the garden is filled with colour all year round. A gate within the wall to the side of the house is a lovely feature and leads visitors round to an extensive paved patio at the rear of the property. Several mature trees add to the privacy of this superb plot and provide welcome shade in the summer months and structure throughout the rest of the year. To the left-hand side of the property is a large log store and attractive kitchen garden including raised beds and a glass house.

Building Plot - The property was originally built on a plot of approximately two and a half acres. A private half an acre to the front of the property has been marked out and retained by the sellers and has outline planning permission to build a detached house. It is their intention to build a beautiful home on this plot themselves, but they are happy for me to make all interested parties aware that the building plot can also be open to negotiation within the overall purchase price of the property if preferred.
