Garfits Lane, Boston, Lincolnshire, PE21 7EX

Tucked away at the end of a private lane on the outskirts of the historic market town of Boston, this immaculately presented four-bedroom detached family home offers an exceptional blend of convenience, space and privacy. Originally built within grounds of Skirbeck Hall for family, the two properties are now separate of course, but this individually designed home still occupies mature and established grounds approaching an acre, creating a truly special setting that feels both exclusive and tranquil.

The grounds are a particular highlight, with beautifully maintained lawns framed by mature trees and established hedging, alongside vibrant, thoughtfully planted flower beds filled with a variety of shrubs and seasonal colour. A different view of the gardens is visible from every window. The setting here at the bottom of the lane is wonderfully private, with glimpses of neighbouring fields and surrounding greenery enhancing the sense of calm and seclusion.

Internally, the home is presented to an impeccable standard throughout. The neutrally decorated, generous and versatile accommodation includes five reception rooms, providing superb flexibility for modern family life-whether that be formal entertaining, home working, or relaxed everyday family life. The layout is equally well suited to growing families or couples with grown up children who regularly host visiting friends and relatives.

Further enhancing the appeal is a substantial double garage with two electric doors, complemented by an adjoining workshop, ideal for hobbies, storage or additional practical use, and a generous parcel of land to the side of the main garden provides a wealth of opportunities as an enclosed space for additional outbuildings, a vegetable garden or extra parking.

Despite its peaceful position, the property remains conveniently close to the wide range of amenities offered in the town itself, making it perfectly suited for those seeking a balance between countryside living and accessibility. A rural property with great connections, Peterborough, with its 45 minute direct rail link to Kings Cross is approximately 30 miles away and the popular Norfolk coast is a similar distance away along the A17.

Seller's Comment: "After the stresses and strains of a typical day, 56 Garfits Lane has been our oasis and a wonderful retreat for us to relax and unwind. It has been our family home for 23 years and the unique location has enabled us to slow down, take a breath and prepare for the week ahead. We will miss it very much"
