Spalding

A stunning, late Victorian house of fine proportions stands in a popular street in the heart of Spalding, particularly renowned for its Georgian heritage, distinguished grammar schools, and the picturesque river that meanders through the town. This elegantly presented home features three spacious double bedrooms, an ensuite, and a family bathroom on the first floor, complemented by a generous fourth bedroom on the second floor. The ground floor is designed for both comfort and functionality, comprising two reception rooms, a sizeable kitchen that opens into a dining area, and a utility room with a separate WC. A delightful connection to the enclosed rear garden enhances the appeal, while off-road parking is conveniently provided on the gravel driveway adjacent to the property.

This property arguably stands as the most desirable in its vicinity, characterized by its fine architectural details, detached structure, and optimal orientation, facing west at the rear. Constructed in 1899 by the same builder as the neighbouring residences, this red brick gem retains a number of original decorative features, both inside and out, including a large bay with original sash window that grace the front façade. The exceptionally high ceilings throughout the home create an air of grandeur and amplify the sense of space. 

The owners were captivated by the property from the outset, appreciating its blend of period features and contemporary enhancements. Following their move, they undertook a thoughtful redecoration, opting for subdued, earthy tones.

Inside, the residence showcases generous living spaces; the front reception room is adorned with a large bay window fitted with quality shutters and a fireplace featuring a wood burner. The adjacent room, currently utilised as a playroom, offers versatility, serving as an informal family room or a dedicated TV room. The kitchen, bathed in sunlight, seamlessly transitions into the dining area, which features bi-fold doors leading to the decked terrace and rear garden. Equipped with sleek, modern units from Howdens, the kitchen features an island with a breakfast bar, a range cooker, and integrated appliances, including a dishwasher and fridge freezer, all cleverly concealed within the cabinetry. Ample storage solutions abound, and a well-proportioned utility room extends from the kitchen, complete with cupboards for coats and boots, alongside a downstairs WC.

On the first floor, the generous master bedroom boasts a wall of built-in wardrobes and an ensuite shower room, while two additional double bedrooms and a family bathroom complete this level. A secondary staircase leads to the second floor, which houses a spacious fourth bedroom, further enhancing the versatility of this remarkable home.

The exterior of the property boasts a meticulously landscaped front garden, highlighted by a striking olive tree positioned at its centre. An original Victorian mosaic-tiled pathway gracefully guides visitors to the front entrance. Adjacent to the house, a gravel driveway offers off-road parking for two vehicles. The rear garden, designed for low maintenance and seclusion, is fully enclosed, ensuring safety for both children and pets. A spacious decked terrace, complete with a pergola and directly accessible from the dining area, runs the entire length of the home, providing an exquisite venue for entertaining and al fresco dining.

This residence is perfectly suited for both families and couples, particularly those who appreciate the convenience of having a train station and schools in such close proximity.
