Situated just off Caistor market place, this extensively renovated, Grade II listed House and former Shop is now a 5 bedroom, family home of distinctive character and charm.
There is a relaxed marriage of the traditional and the contemporary as evidenced by the contrast of formal lounge with its marble fireplace and the modern dining/kitchen with its range of crisp white units.
The whitewashed brick work in some rooms harks back to its utilitarian heritage and the former shop, with its panelled walls, meat hooks and tiled counter, now doubles as an entertainment & dining room.
The first floor offers generous bedroom accommodation with the flexibility to provide for either a further shower room or nursery if needed. In addition to the family orientated lawned garden there is a useful range of outbuildings to the rear which could potentially become separate accommodation (subject to the necessary permissions) if required.
