Description

Set in the heart of the sought after village of Manthorpe, Paddock View is an impressive stone built home completed in 2001, offering more than 3,200 sq. ft of beautifully presented accommodation arranged over three floors. The house effortlessly combines generous proportions with warmth and character, highlighted through features such as stone mullion windows, exposed stonework, panelling, and beams.

A wide slate floored entrance hall immediately sets the tone, with exposed stone walls and a striking handmade oak staircase providing a superb central focal point and access to all levels. To one side lies a well proportioned sitting room with a log burning stove, perfect for relaxed evenings. To the rear of the house is the impressive 37 foot dining kitchen, running the full width of the property, and opening via French doors onto the garden. The solid wood kitchen is well equipped with wooden worktops, integrated appliances including an induction hob and dishwasher, and a fitted dresser housing a double oven. There is ample space for both preparation and dining.

A separate utility room accommodates white goods, while a cloakroom and a useful boot room, created from the original integral garage, provide excellent storage and complete the ground floor accommodation.

The first floor is equally impressive, centred around a wood panelled library landing that is currently arranged as a second sitting room. A wall of fitted bookcases and French doors opening onto a balcony create a wonderful family space, with far reaching views across the garden and rolling countryside beyond. There are four elegant and spacious double bedrooms on this floor. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and a sleek modern en suite shower room, while the guest bedroom also enjoys its own en suite. Bedrooms three and four are served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom featuring an oversized bath and separate shower.

The second floor provides excellent additional living space, with a large oak floored family room currently used as a playroom and cinema. Four Velux windows flood the room with light and frame superb views. An adjoining room has been fitted as a high quality home office, benefitting from super fast broadband.

Externally, the house is set back from the village’s main street, approached via a large, paved driveway providing parking for up to five vehicles and access to a garage store. The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and complemented by sandstone patio terraces and a BBQ area, with smart raised beds. Secure boundary fencing and a mature copper beech hedge provide privacy and enclosure, creating an attractive and family friendly outdoor space.
