Sibsey Road, Boston, PE21 9QZ

This striking and substantial Streamline Moderne family home, built in 1935, is set within generous and beautifully mature gardens and is filled with natural light through its impressive curved Crittall windows. Rich in original character, the property has been carefully preserved and still displays an abundance of period features, including original blue delft pantiles, an Art Deco etched glazed entrance, oak herringbone parquet flooring beneath the downstairs carpets, and original panelling to the hall, staircase and landing. Having had only three owners in its over 90-year history, to include Victor Durrand, the famous QC, the Addy family and finally, current family, who have loved Bourne Court for the last 60 years. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly individual home of architectural significance.

The accommodation is both spacious and well-balanced, centred around a 27-foot dual-aspect living room with French doors opening onto the garden, alongside a dining room featuring original panelling, exposed beams and a Minster fireplace. The 24-foot kitchen breakfast room enjoys a large, glazed bay and is complemented by a pantry and a sizeable utility room with doors leading to both the driveway and terrace. A vast glazed garden room with sliding doors provides further versatile living space and a seamless connection to the outdoor areas.

Upstairs, the house offers four generous double bedrooms, three of which are dual aspect, with the principal bedroom benefitting from a dressing room with direct access to a south-facing balcony. The family bathroom retains its original tiling and features a distinctive cast-iron sunken bath. Outside, the beautifully mature and well-stocked gardens include generous lawns, a wooded copse, sweeping carriage driveway and the provisions for an outdoor heated swimming pool, now requiring full refurbishment. The property is further enhanced by two adjoining oversized single garages with automatic doors.

Situated on the northern edge of Boston, and convenient for Pilgrim Hospital, the house enjoys a desirable balance of town and country living, with The Lincolnshire Wolds and the Lincolnshire coastline both within approximately a 20-minute drive. It is actually located at the end of a no-through-road off Pilleys Lane and not directly on Sibsey Road as the address suggests.
