High Street, Swayfield, Grantham, Lincolnshire, NG33

A period barn conversion with garage, parking and private garden.

Description

The Barn, dating back to the 1700's, is a spectacular example of a beautiful and thoughtfully considered barn conversion. Deceptively large, the home combines modern, luxurious living, whilst showcasing the building’s proportions and highlights original features including exposed stone walls and characterful beams and is flooded with natural light. The inviting entrance hall provides storage for coats and shoes with the practical utility room and downstairs WC opposite.

To the left is the large, double aspect kitchen, dining and living room complete with a wood burning stove. The kitchen is fitted with an array of units providing ample storage whilst providing the ‘hub of the home’ space, perfect for family life and entertaining. Bi-folding doors provide access onto the private and secluded rear terrace, the perfect place for alfresco dining and enjoying the sunshine. A separate dining room with exposed stone walls provides a formal dining space and provides access through to the first of two study spaces. The sitting room is a well-proportioned dual aspect reception room, with exposed beams and stone fireplace, complete with a wood burning stove. Views can be enjoyed over the rear garden and far-reaching countryside. The ground floor is complete with a second study, providing the perfect space for multiple residents to work from home or an additional snug or playroom, as needed.

The stairs ascend from a light and spacious hall to the first floor. The principal bedroom is spacious with fantastic far reaching rural views over the gardens, to the rear. There are two under-the-eave storage spaces and ample space for additional furniture and storage, complete with an ensuite shower room. Bedroom two is another spacious double, flooded with natural light from dual aspect windows. An additional room which is currently used as a playroom is accessed via bedroom two but could easily be adapted into a dressing room or additional work from home space. Two further bedrooms both with built in wardrobe spaces, and a family bathroom. The modern bathroom is fitted with a shower and separate bath unit.

Outside: A gravelled driveway, adjoining the western gable, provides off road parking for two vehicles and access into the single garage, complete with an electric car charging point. Double gates lead through into the secure and private rear garden. A spacious terrace provides ample space for alfresco dining with several accesses into the property. A side door provides access into the garage, which could be suitably adapted to meet a buyer’s requirements such as a gym or studio. Steps lead up onto the second terraced area and the lawned garden, with mature trees and shrubs.
