Description

This handsome double fronted home is set in a prominent position within the former marketplace of Folkingham. Constructed in the late 18th Century using red brick, the Grade II listed home arranged over three floors offers elegant Georgian proportions and lofty ceilings with a flexible layout.

Internally the property presents beautifully with period features adorning the accommodation throughout, adding charm and character to this magnificent home. The Georgian dimensions with high ceilings and sash windows provide light and bright rooms with ample space.

The home features four bedrooms, three bathrooms and two reception rooms in addition to the kitchen. The outside store could be used as an office and there is a large courtyard garden. The accommodation is flexible in nature with bedroom two currently being used as a study.

The front door with distinctive fanlight enters the central hallway with parquet flooring which continues through into the sitting room. The elegant room is light and bright with double aspect windows and a feature open fireplace.
A former external door with another fanlight has usefully been created into further storage.

Across the hall is the dining room, similar proportions.
There's an open fireplace and ample space for a large dining table. This room also connects through to the dining kitchen. With extensive bespoke cabinetry there is ample workspace and room for a breakfast table. Vast amounts of light pour into the room through the south facing windows in addition to the French doors, which lead out onto the courtyard garden. A downstairs W.C. completes the ground floor.

Ascending the elegant stairs, the beautiful decor continues throughout. On the first floor, the principal suite incorporates a well-proportioned bedroom with a large en suite shower room. There is adequate space for wardrobes or further storage.

Opposite, bedroom two is currently being used as a study which shows off the versatility of this home. With double aspect windows, the room is furnished with inbuilt bookshelves and marble fireplace. The family bathroom is beautifully appointed with a three-piece suite. Another shower room provides further facilities enabling plenty of bathrooms for the floor above. There is also a utility cupboard with space for washing machine and dryer.

The second floor comprises two further generous bedrooms both of which are bright with dual aspect windows. A large landing between them serves as a fantastic reading or study area served by a W.C. on the half landing.

The east facing walled courtyard garden provides beautiful and minimal maintenance space. Sumptuously planted raised beds and box hedging are atop a brick and paver designed patio, with an abundance of room for entertaining. Two outbuildings provide plentiful external storage but may make an ideal space for an office or studio space subject to planning.
