Swineshead Road, Frampton Fen, PE20

For many prospective buyers of Oakwell House it will be easy to forget that you are actually on the close outskirts of the town, given that the property benefits from such a generous plot, extending to just under ¾ acre.

The current owners have clearly taken great pleasure in cultivating the grounds over the years, making full use of the space to create the varied and idyllic gardens seen today. The landscaped rear garden features an attractive outdoor dining area adjoining the garden room, while a thoughtful combination of flower beds, winding pathways and seating areas-sheltered by mature trees-creates a wonderfully private and tranquil setting. Beyond the main garden lies a further secluded lawn/paddock, formerly used as a tennis court, along with a range of substantial outbuildings.

In addition to the two garages and workshop which are integral to the property, these outbuildings include a further garage, store and a 9m x 6m barn. These are located off the second of the two entrances which also handily serves the lawn/paddock area.

The house itself is equally impressive in scale, set well back from the road and framed by mature trees that provide both privacy and shade. A carriage driveway offers ample and easily accessible parking.

Inside, the accommodation is both spacious and light-filled, with bay windows and a number of double-aspect rooms. There are no fewer than five reception rooms, alongside an updated kitchen, offering excellent flexibility for entertaining, working from home and family life. To the first floor are four well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms, ideally suited to a larger or extended family.
To summarise, the property offers a combination of virtues that will suit a buyer looking to enjoy their own space and interests yet still preferring to have the convenience of the many facilities and amenities available in the market town of Boston.

Outside -

Oakwell House enjoys an impressive position set back from the road behind a sweeping gravelled carriage driveway, offering extensive parking and access to the integral garaging and workshop. The attractive double-front combines traditional brick elevations with characterful bay windows and decorative detailing, creating an elegant first impression. Mature trees and beautifully maintained frontage provide a degree of privacy and shade and further enhance the property's distinguished kerb appeal.

The rear of the property enjoys exceptional landscaped gardens bordered by mature hedging, specimen trees and well-stocked flower beds. A superb paved and decked entertaining terrace, complete with pergola and outdoor cooking area, overlooks the gardens and provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining and summer gatherings. The grounds extend far beyond the initial formal garden area, to an expansive lawn/paddock, a vegetable plot with small orchard area and a substantial barn and garage. These areas can be more directly accessed by the driveway on the right side of the property and offers excellent versatility for gardening enthusiasts, hobbies and additional storage. Altogether, the outside space offers a wonderful balance of formal gardens, recreational space and possibly even further development if needed in the future.
