Description

A beautifully renovated and thoughtfully extended period home, occupying a prominent position within Bourne’s Conservation Area, with its attractive listed façade reflecting the property's historic character. Combining timeless architectural features with exceptional contemporary design, 42 West Street offers elegant and versatile family living within the heart of this sought-after market town.

Behind its attractive double-fronted façade, the property immediately impresses with its light-filled interiors, generous proportions and meticulous attention to detail. Original period features have been carefully preserved and complemented by premium contemporary finishes, creating a home that is both stylish and practical.

A carefully selected neutral colour palette enhances the cohesive, high-quality finish found throughout the home, complemented by hardwood flooring across the ground floor and stripped timber internal doors. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, from the Buster + Punch lighting and switches to the elegant wrought iron radiators, all of which contribute to the property's refined yet timeless aesthetic.

The welcoming entrance opens into an elegant dual-aspect sitting room, a wonderfully inviting space centred around two individual fireplaces. A striking stone fireplace houses a wood-burning stove, whilst an attractive Victorian fireplace with decorative tiled surround provides a charming focal point at the opposite end of the room. Handcrafted cabinetry fitted, deep windowsills and hardwood flooring combine to create a room full of warmth and character, with excellent built-in storage.

Flowing naturally from the sitting room, the bespoke kitchen has been thoughtfully designed to balance everyday functionality with refined styling. Hardwood cabinetry is complemented by quartz work surfaces and a range of integrated AEG appliances, including double ovens, an induction hob, dishwasher and fridge/freezer.

The kitchen opens seamlessly into the impressive rear extension, where the original external window opening has been retained to create a subtle architectural connection between the old and new. Soft curved walls add a contemporary elegance, whilst an impressive roof lantern, extensive glazing and French doors flood the room with natural light, creating a superb open-plan kitchen, dining and family space overlooking the garden. Designed with entertaining in mind, this exceptional room offers ample space for dining and relaxed seating whilst maintaining a wonderful sense of openness.

Discreetly positioned off the extension, the utility/cloakroom incorporates a WC together with space for laundry appliances and a fitted worktop, providing a practical and well-considered space for day-to-day living.

The first floor continues to impress, with exposed stonework on the central landing serving as a reminder of the property's heritage. There are three double bedrooms, each beautifully presented. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, featuring exposed stonework and an attractive original brick arch that adds further character and individuality.

The luxurious family bathroom has been finished to an exceptional standard, offering a freestanding bath complete with integrated television, a separate walk-in shower, heated towel rail and contemporary fittings, creating a spa-like retreat.

Outside, the enclosed walled garden has been designed for both relaxation and entertaining. A generous, paved terrace immediately adjoins the house, providing the ideal setting for al fresco dining during the warmer months. Steps rise to a well-maintained lawn, while a central pathway leads to an excellent detached outbuilding.

Fully equipped with power, heating and lighting, this highly versatile space is ideally suited as a home office, gym, studio, playroom or hobby room, offering flexibility to suit a wide variety of lifestyles. Adjacent is a covered outdoor entertaining area, creating the perfect space for barbecues and year-round outdoor enjoyment.
