Haven Bank, Boston, Lincolnshire, PE21

This fantastic four storey Georgian townhouse is not typical of most of the period properties that we sell in the area. Whilst it is still filled with several charming character features, it has actually been sympathetically but totally renovated throughout within recent years, so a new buyer will benefit from all of the character of a fabulous Grade Two Listed home, without any of the concerns usually associated with a property that dates back to 1822.

The sellers inform us that the previous owner literally took the property 'back to the brick' during the full renovation, which not only included new bathrooms and a new kitchen, but all major works too such as a new roof, new doors and all windows (with the exception of the front door), a full re-wire and new central heating system with new ornate cast radiators throughout. The walls were insulated and re-skimmed too, and so the property is lovely and warm with no concerns over damp patches.

With four floors, the floorplan of this beautiful riverside property is, as you can imagine, pretty versatile, with ample space to suit the lifestyles of a modern family, several reception rooms for a multi-generational family, or a couple that enjoy having friends and family to visit. The owners spend most of their time on the ground floor, where there the large open-plan living and dining room with cosy wood-burner flows through to the kitchen and scullery. A generous attic room on the top floor is currently used as a hobbies room, but would also make a useful additional guest room.

These period properties along Haven Bank are literally a convenient stroll away from the historic market place, shops, cafés and restaurants, not forgetting Boston's unique cultural quarter and Blackfriars Theatre. The property will have seen many changes to the town over the years, and the latest regeneration project underway to create a pleasant, tree lined seating area along the walk into town is set to be a lovely addition to the town.
