Skeldyke Road, Kirton, PE20 1LR

Enjoying an idyllic and semi-rural position along a tree-lined country lane just outside the main village centre, Hallweir is a charming five bedroom Georgian house. It stands in its own private and mature grounds of about an acre, to include several beautiful old trees, several of which are established fruit trees. I know that many jars of jam, pickles and even quince jelly will have filled the pantry shelves here over the years.

The property was rather dated when it was purchased by Georgina and Julian 11 years ago, but they fell in love with both the position and the potential of this much loved family home. Now completely refurbished, the property is a lovely light, warm and welcoming home. The couple have had most of the roof replaced and some new windows fitted. The floors have been replaced and under-floor heating added beneath the limestone tiles to the majority of the ground floor, plus a new boiler which is still under warranty. The open-plan kitchen and all bathrooms have also been upgraded, in a style very much in-keeping with the character of the property, but also much better suited to the modern lifestyle of a younger family.

With three reception rooms arranged off the main hallway and an additional dining room and large games /family room to the rear of the house, there is ample space for everyone to enjoy their own personal space as well as being a fabulous house for entertaining friends and family. There are five double bedrooms to the first floor, but as you can see from the floorplan, with a shower-room to the ground floor, there is also great annexe potential too.

A generous driveway sweeps along the front and side of the house and the large detached double garage and old forge provide extra storage space to the outside. One of my favourite features is the large attached brick and glass orangery to the side of the property which suits the property perfectly and is still used to this day for growing tomatoes and salads.

*** A 3.5 acre paddock to the rear of the property is owned by a charity. While it cannot be bought it could possibly be available to rent at separate negotiation. ***
