Church Green Road, Fishtoft, Boston, Lincolnshire, PE21

Welcome to Church Green Road, a property that having been built by the previous owners Father just after World War II, has just entered it's eighth decade of life. Lived in and loved throughout the dramatically changing times from the 1940's to the 2020's, this beautiful, individually built family home only left the ownership of those who built her a few years ago. Named after the hotel in Scotland where the original owners honeymooned in 1940, the home is affectionately known as Arranmore. This is more than just a home - it's a cherished family residence with a rich history, that's been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully adapted and extended over time.

Built under the constraints of post-war regulations, the home was crafted with care and ingenuity - including the use of seasoned pre-war timber for the floors which still exist today. Work began on the rear garden in 1946, with the property ready to house the family in the December of that year. After surviving the famously harsh winter of 1947, home-grown fruit was picked and enjoyed the following summer, and every year since for many a year. Since then, the garden has been developed, manicured and landscaped to create a secure, secluded, rich and vibrant haven of well established plants and shrubs. With sculped borders overflowing with colourful flowers that provide something new to ponder each time you gaze, this garden draws attention from even causal garden enthusiasts. An opening in what appears to be a rear hedge leads to a whole new area – a secret garden with wild flowers growing, surrounded by greenery, to be enjoyed from an established timber built summer house.

Over time, the property has evolved to meet the needs of a growing family. A conservatory was added and later converted into a dining room in 1977, and the garage and other features followed, blending function with a sense of continuity and comfort. Having since been dramatically extended at the rear, several sky lanterns illuminate a huge living kitchen complete with an oversized island with broad sliding doors to the garden, a relaxing lounge / snug tucked just around the corner, along with a large utility and WC.

This is a home that has been well-loved, carefully maintained, and adapted over the years to support a truly comfortable and fulfilling lifestyle - a welcoming space ready for its next chapter.

The area in which the property stands is an ideal halfway house from town to village – set far from the roadside on a main thread to Fishtoft, the peace and quiet brings serenity, whilst the reassurance that the amenities of Boston are within a 2 mile journey balances that scale of serenity with convenience. A moments walk away is a fantastic village Spar Shop, a little further up the road is a Co-op, fuel station, Post Office, a locally famed dessert shop, Pharmacy, more choices of convenience stores, as well as reputable schools, pubs and restaurants.

Church Green Road has been beautifully and sympathetically maintained to retain the character of a post war home, whilst seamlessly moving with the times to supply its residents with modern comforts that we so desperately seek today. Style, substance, space, seclusion and serenity – Arranmore is bursting with charm and charisma, that is sure to captivate anyone who has the pleasure of ascending the long crinkling driveway, through it's old wooden door…

The property is connected to mains gas, electricity, water, and drainage. It has gas central heating with radiators and is fully double glazed. The current council tax band is D, and EPC rated C.

Entrance Hall

The main entrance of the home is shrouded by mature and established Holboellia (broad leaved sausage vine), creating an immediate county cottage aura as you pass under the green façade that's almost as though it is now as one with the walls, through the original solid timber door. We're greeted by an entrance hall with a pleasant and non-imposing width, complimented by bright and space-creating magnolia emulsion.

A modern log burner sits within the original fireplace, creating a focal point to the room - a space of calming soft colours, of which we can only imagine how immersive and relaxing this would be with a fire roaring on a bitter winters evening. A magical area for winding down after busy days...

Open Plan Living Kitchen

5.5m x 2.43m - 18'1" x 7'12"
The extended rear portion of the home really is the day-to-day beating heart of this property. Broad and deep in almost equal measures - we're treated to a centrally positioned kitchen island that most can only dream of. Fully functioning with storage, sink and draining board, this large island saves more room that it uses. Lighter tones dress the classic farmhouse kitchen shaker units, which are arranged on three sides of the room to offer a superb about of storage space. The Range style cooking area boasts 6 gas burners, as well as double fronted doors for an electric oven and grill. Open plan to the living area, as well as wide sliding doors to the rear and skylights above - this spacious kitchen is bright and well lit, forming a contemporary space to enjoy day and night, all year round...

Family Bathroom

The family bathroom has been re-fitted and brought back to life, with large natural stone coloured tiles around the bath and shower, as well as halfway up the wall with the WC and wash basin. The remaining walls are easy on the eye to accentuate the feeling of space - the colour palate is a nod to the age of the home, with an ornate patterned flooring with a contrasting black detail. The bathroom offers convenience and modern fittings, with a chrome heated towel rail, extractor fan and a glossy white suite, and there's plenty of storage with double integrated cupboards, with the room finished with spotlights to offer a well rounded illumination when required.

Utility Room/WC

The utility is ample size for its requirement - complete with space for a washing machine, tumble dryer, thick wooden work surfaces either side of a traditional Belfast sink, and lots of cupboard space for your laundry bits and bobs. The room also has a second WC, and with the side hallway having direct access to the rear garden, this is the perfect guest lavatory if you're entertaining.

Landing

Bright and broad - the landing has a stunning stained glass window to the front aspect of the home, which lifts an often forgotten aspect of a property right into focus.

Master Bedroom

4.25m x 3.09m - 13'11" x 10'2"

A recess forms an ideal area for a dressing table and / or wardrobe space, and windows to the front and rear bring a fantastic amount of balanced natural light into the room. Tastefully decorated with a floral patterned wallpaper, balanced with cream emulsion to soften to edges and create an added feeling of width.

Bedroom 2

3.33m x 2.74m - 10'11" x 8'12"
What a gorgeous room. Set at the rear of the home overlooking that stunning garden, this bedroom is steeped and dripping in classic colours and style - rich emerald green is a bold choice, but it is masterfully pulled off when paired with a dappled light shaded carpet and large white integrated cupboards. A large window to the rear aspect breaks up the deep green walls, replaced by the lush forest green colour palate of the garden.

WC

The WC is designed with space maximisation in mind - nestled between bedrooms 2 & 3, the loo has a window to the rear aspect, with a cupboard space, a wash basin and toilet all sitting below it in a neat and tidy modern unit.

Garage

The garage, attached to the side of the property, has the original wooden door, painted white with decorative black wrought iron studs. Serviced with power and lighting, the garage is a welcomed and useful addition. Shrouded by English Ivy, creating an almost enchanting entrance, these green and lush touches really round off this stunning home that just bursts to life in the warmer months.

Garden

Where to begin? Firstly the home is set far back from the road side, which presents an opportunity for a beautifully planted front garden, which has been executed perfectly here. The gravelled driveway is flanked by dense hedgerow, various flowers and plants, and has shaped lawns to one side. The rear of the home is more of the same - rich and vibrant plant life fills every available spot. Whichever way you turn, there's a photo-worthy viewpoint. Shaped and crafted lawns create flowerbeds that burst with vibrant flowers and bushes, a paradise for honey bees! The rear hedge has an opening to the side, which when stepped through shows itself to be a stunning secret garden - purposefully left for nature to do its work. Maintained and looked after, this wild garden can be enjoyed from a large timber built summer house which is full of potential. Garden room, games room, office? It's all possible in this sizeable area that's wonderfully hidden from view.
