A modern and beautifully appointed seven-bedroom home on a small, exclusive development bordering open countryside on the edge of Snitterby, with access to Lincoln and the A15.

Description

Set on the eastern edge of Snitterby, this detached home occupies a spacious plot and offers seven-bedroom accommodation that is well suited to family living. Built in 2013, the property is set behind fencing and features render and brick elevations accented with stone lintels. The layout provides a range of versatile living spaces, with three sets of doors opening to the garden and an open-plan arrangement to the principal reception areas. Further features include zoned underfloor heating to the ground floor, bespoke shutters, Velux windows with external blinds, and bath and shower rooms serving the accommodation.

The entrance hall features a central staircase. The sitting room is positioned on the eastern side of the house and benefits from windows on three sides, together with a wood-burning stove. Adjoining the sitting room is a study, which may also be suitable for use as a snug or additional reception room. The kitchen and dining room are open plan and connect to the family room via concertina glazed doors, allowing the spaces to be separated or opened up as required.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom benefits from dual-aspect windows, a double-height vaulted ceiling and an en suite featuring a twin vanity unit and walk-in shower. There are four further double bedrooms on this floor, including two bedrooms which share a dual access shower room, in addition to a family bathroom. Two further bedrooms are located on the second floor. Rooms to the rear of the property enjoy views over the gardens and open countryside beyond.

Situated at the far corner of Dovecote Close, the property occupies a position within this small development. Double gates open onto a block-paved driveway. The property previously had an attached garage which has since been converted into a pottery studio. Subject to any necessary consents, purchasers may wish to investigate the potential to reinstate the garage.

The garden extends around two sides of the property and is bordered in part by mature trees. An elevated decking terrace adjoins the kitchen/dining room and provides space for outdoor seating and entertaining. Lawns extend to both sides and are complemented by established planting and raised planters. The garden also includes a selection of plum and apple trees, together with a large timber workshop benefiting from power and lighting.
