The Avenue, Healing, Grimsby

Standing majestically within established grounds of around one third of an acre, Sunfields is a wonderful example of Edwardian architecture at its very best. The combination of red brick, slate roof tiling, Tudor influences and numerous original windows and glass, all merge to create a home of enduring quality and timeless appeal and viewing is highly recommended.

The property was built in 1910 and numerous original features remain although the current owners have transformed the living space by the addition of an undoubtedly huge Living Kitchen designed by renowned Louth based architect Mr John Derbyshire.

Principal features of the accommodation include the delightful front Entrance Lobby (designed to match the original leaded windows), the elegant Reception Hall from where the spindle balustrade dog leg staircase leads to the first floor, the front Sitting Room with its classic mahogany fireplace and the equally attractive Living Room with a side bay window and pine firesurround. There is a flexible Dining Room (suitable for alternative use if required) and a ground floor Bathroom with a white suite including a freestanding slipper bath.

Pride of place amongst the ground floor accommodation must be afforded to the stunning Living Kitchen with its illuminated, high vaulted beamed ceiling, plenty of space to dine and relax and the comprehensively equipped kitchen area with cream shaker style units, a central island and appliances. Double doors open to the terrace and the use of hardwood framed double glazing really enhances the quality of this main living space. A useful Utility Room leads off.

At first floor level there are four lovely bedrooms all large enough to be considered as doubles with the principal bedroom fitted with a quality range of cream furniture by Haagensens. An excellent Shower Room and adjoining Toilet complete the picture of the upstairs accommodation.

Sunfields enjoys a setting within grounds presented to an almost professional standard with specimen trees, manicured lawns, borders and beds planted with a diverse range of shrubs and plants and a lovely pergola. The combined Double Garage/Workshop and the shed and greenhouse are cleverly screened from the main garden and the long gravelled driveway can accommodate numerous vehicles.

The village of Healing offers well regarded schools, a general store, and the popular Healing Manor Hotel with adjoining Pig and Whistle public house.

All in all Sunfields is a real gem located in one of the regions most favoured residential positions and offering accommodation sure to appeal to discerning purchasers seeking to own a fine home of pedigree and quality. This property is EPC rated D.
