A much improved and well-presented, 4-bedroom detached family house positioned a comfortable walk from the highly regarded Caistor grammar school and the local facilities. Re-fitted dining kitchen and upgraded bathroom, spacious lounge, sunny south-facing garden at the rear with extensive patios and greenhouse, driveway to garage, utility/study area, gas central heating system, (new boiler 2019) and uPVC double-glazed windows.  

Directions From the marketplace in Caistor, proceed to the T-junction with the High Street and turn left down the hill. At the fork in the road bear left along North Kelsey Road and then follow the road until number 63 is found on the left side.  

The Property This smart and well-presented detached family home dates back to the late 1970s and has brick-faced cavity walls beneath pitched timber roof structures covered in concrete tiles and extending across the attached garage, porch and rear utility/study area. The property has been greatly improved in recent years. In January 2021 new uPVC double-glazed windows were installed. The fascia boards and soffits are also in complementary white uPVC and the concrete roof tiles have recently been cleaned.

Heating is by a gas central heating system and a new boiler was installed in 2019. The rooms have been recently redecorated and the kitchen was renewed in 2017. There is also an upgraded bathroom, and the rear garden has been landscaped, creating spacious patio areas and new planting with a metal-framed greenhouse. The rear section of the garage has been converted to form a utility room which has also doubled as a study area away from the main house.

In addition to the versatile garage space, which the current family also use as a games room, there is a long, covered storage area ideal for storing patio furniture, garden tools, cycles, etc.
