Sycamore View, Gedney Hill, PE12

A substantial four-bedroom detached family home occupying a superb position in the Lincolnshire village of Gedney Hill, with open views to the rear, an impressive landscaped garden, double garage and exceptionally versatile accommodation.

This is a property that has far more to offer than you might initially expect. From the generous living accommodation and two en-suite bedrooms to the fantastic garden and outdoor entertaining areas, there is a great balance of space both inside and out. The open outlook across the surrounding countryside is another major attraction and gives the rear of the property a wonderfully spacious feel.

The accommodation begins with an entrance hall providing access to the principal ground-floor rooms and stairs rising to the first floor.

The main lounge is a comfortable and well-proportioned reception room, while a separate dining room provides plenty of space for a family-sized dining table and is ideal for both everyday meals and entertaining.

There is also a separate office/snug, giving the house another particularly useful reception space. Whether required as a home office, smaller sitting room, playroom or somewhere to escape with a book or television, it adds considerable flexibility to the ground floor.

The kitchen is smartly fitted with an extensive range of contemporary soft-grey base, drawer and wall-mounted units complemented by dark work surfaces. The level of equipment is particularly impressive and includes fridge drawers, a built-in oven, combination oven/microwave and warming drawer. At the sink area there is a conventional mixer tap together with a hot water tap and two filtered water taps, adding some very useful finishing touches.

A separate utility room continues the practical theme, with further fitted units and work surfaces, sink, space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, and the oil-fired boiler. A door provides the convenience of direct internal access into the double garage.

Upstairs, the landing provides access to four bedrooms and the family bathroom, along with loft access.

Bedroom one is an excellent-sized double room with windows providing plenty of natural light and its own en-suite bathroom, fitted with a bath, pedestal wash basin and WC.

Bedroom two is another particularly generous double bedroom, again benefitting from windows to two aspects and its own en-suite shower room, fitted with a shower enclosure, WC and pedestal wash basin.

Bedrooms three and four demonstrate just how adaptable the accommodation can be. Bedroom three is currently arranged as a dressing room, complete with fitted wardrobes and dressing area, while bedroom four is presently used as a home office. Both remain genuine bedrooms and could easily be returned to their original use depending upon the requirements of the next owner.

The family bathroom has plenty of character and is fitted with a freestanding roll-top style bath, WC and a contemporary wash basin incorporated within a substantial vanity/storage unit. Decorative flooring, part-tiled walls and panelling complete the room.

Outside, the property has a block-paved driveway to the front providing off-road parking and access to the attached double garage.

To the side of the property is a lawned strip which does not form part of the property, but the property benefits from a legal vehicular right of way across this area, providing access through the side gate and onwards to a further gated entrance into the rear garden. This is a particularly useful arrangement for anyone needing to take a vehicle, trailer or equipment into the rear.

And then there is the garden...

The rear garden is unquestionably one of the standout features of this home. Generous in size and beautifully established, it has been thoughtfully landscaped to provide a mixture of lawns, gravelled areas, mature shrubs and trees, planted beds, pathways and several different places to sit and enjoy the surroundings.

Immediately adjoining the house is a substantial paved patio which incorporates the impressive approximately 9m x 3m covered pergola. This is a fantastic entertaining space with adjustable louvred sides and roof together with remote-controlled LED lighting, making it ideal for outdoor dining, barbecues and entertaining through much of the year. The garden also benefits from external power points.

Further into the garden is an attractive ornamental pond, while a raised decked seating area provides yet another place to sit, relax and enjoy the garden.

Towards the far end is a substantial timber workshop with power and lighting, offering excellent potential for hobbies, storage or simply somewhere to escape to and tinker. There is also a separate timber garden shed providing additional storage.

A gravelled area towards the rear can be accessed by vehicle via the aforementioned right of way and gated access, adding a level of practicality rarely found with gardens of this type.

Perhaps most importantly, the garden enjoys a wonderful feeling of space, with open views across the surrounding countryside helping to create the semi-rural setting that makes this property particularly appealing.
