We have pleasure in offering to the market this really interesting Grade II listed, character conversion forming one of a handful of individual dwellings converted from the former Peacock Inn ,which was understood to date back to the 1700's. The Cottage were converted in 2019 to a high specification and has been well maintained by the current Vendor ever since.

This deceptive home offers around 1,530 sq.ft. of internal accommodation spanning two floors and retaining much of its original character and features, many rooms affording exposed beams and internal brick and stonework, with an attractive fireplace to the main sitting room. This has been combined with the benefits of contemporary living with underfloor heating to the ground floor, attractive oak internal doors, double glazed cottage style windows, relatively neutral decoration and contemporary fixtures and fittings.

The accommodation comprises an initial entrance hall which leads through into a spacious open plan living/dining kitchen beautifully appointed with a generous range of units and integrated appliances and stone preparation surfaces. This room is large enough to accommodate both living and dining areas and will undoubtedly become the hub of the home, affording windows to three elevations, access out into the courtyard garden and linking through into a delightful sitting with a wealth of character having an attractive solid fuel stove and many features. In addition there is also a useful cloak room to the ground floor.

To the first floor there are three double bedrooms, the main room affording ensuite facilities, with separate bath/shower room.

As well as the main accommodation the property also benefits from a large outdoor space, formerly the pot washing room, which has been creatively converted into a generous double garage, utility room and home office, creating a versatile space accessed off the courtyard area making it ideal for today's way of working, being tucked away from the main accommodation to provide a productive work space.

As well as the internal accommodation the property occupies a pleasant landscaped but easily maintained and manageable outdoor space with paved seating areas enclosed to all sides. In addition the property is also positioned within very close proximity to open countryside walks and the Grantham canal.

Overall viewing comes highly recommended to appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.
