Holbeach

Fleetway House is a handsome four-bedroom property, set off by its indoor swimming pool, sauna, and games room large enough for a full-size snooker table. The period refinement of its two front reception rooms and quietly modern addition of a garden room, comes attractively contrasted with bright and distinctly contemporary kitchen diner.

Dating back to 1924, the property still has its original front door and oak panelled reception hallway. The opulence continues on up the staircase and past several stained-glass windows of bright birds and florals. These blend into the first floor landing and bedrooms’ interior themes which, while softer and more subtle, maintain the twenties glamour with sash windows, and touches of Art Deco shapes and colour contrast.  

The floor above the existing bedrooms boasts a sizeable loft, with plenty of potential for conversion. Subject to planning permission and alterations, it could become a second floor of further bedrooms and bathrooms, for prospective buyers who wanted to extend the house even further.

This property has an intuitive and practical, yet impactful flow from its front facing living spaces to the rear leisure suite. The utility room, discreetly tucked away behind the kitchen, unexpectedly leads through to the garden room, adding to the feeling of entering a secret den. There is plenty of entertaining potential to these rear rooms, with a bar for the games room, and a slide, jacuzzi and changing room poolside.

All the leisure rooms look out on the garden contributing to 1.56 acres of grounds. Beautifully landscaped lawns are contained by hedges that give the house a quality of privacy. Beyond and just on the doorstep are open fields which are also home to highland cows. At the front, the sweeping gravel driveway continues to the side for plentiful parking, and leads directly to one of several double garages and outbuildings. The sheer amount of space for securely stowing cars would make this property ideal for a collector.
