Lovelle Estate Agency are delighted to bring to the market this beautifully presented and extensively renovated two-bedroom detached bungalow, occupying a superb plot of approximately 1.6 acres in the peaceful rural village of Authorpe, Lincolnshire. Combining traditional character with modern comforts, the property offers spacious accommodation over two floors, both bedrooms benefiting from en-suite facilities, together with established formal gardens, paddock land and a variety of useful outbuildings.

The property has undergone an extensive programme of improvements by the current owners, including further conversion of the loft space, replacement windows throughout, a new oil-fired central heating system and additional insulation. These improvements complement the property's wealth of character features, including exposed brick inglenook fireplaces, cast iron multi-fuel burners and traditional detailing throughout.

The accommodation is approached through a front entrance door sheltered by a timber porch, opening into a welcoming hallway providing access to the principal ground floor rooms, with stairs rising to the first floor and useful understairs storage. Positioned to the front, the attractive lounge enjoys triple aspect windows overlooking the gardens, with a stunning exposed brick inglenook fireplace housing a cast iron multi-fuel burner and traditional picture rails. The dining room, open from the hallway, benefits from dual aspect windows and a further corner inglenook fireplace with multi-fuel burner, creating a charming space for dining and entertaining.

The beautifully appointed breakfast kitchen combines traditional farmhouse styling with modern conveniences, featuring a range of Shaker-style base units with timber work surfaces, a ceramic one-and-a-half bowl sink with boiling water tap and attractive farmhouse-style tiled flooring. A substantial exposed brick inglenook fireplace with cast iron multi-fuel burner provides a striking focal point, whilst appliances included in the sale comprise a Rangemaster electric cooker with six-point halogen hob, double-drawer dishwasher, integrated washing machine and wine cooler. A door leads to the rear entrance porch, providing access to a ground floor cloakroom WC and useful timber utility space, ideal for additional appliances and storage.

The ground floor bedroom is a generously proportioned double room featuring an attractive corner fireplace and its own en-suite shower room, fitted with a large walk-in shower incorporating a mains-fed rainfall shower and handheld attachment, vanity wash hand basin with storage beneath and close-coupled WC.

The staircase rises directly into the impressive first-floor bedroom, a spacious and thoughtfully arranged room enjoying dual aspect windows and plenty of natural light. The current owners have further enhanced this accommodation by extending into the adjoining loft space, creating a generous dressing area with a chance for fitted wardrobes or clothes rails. Beyond is a beautifully appointed en-suite bathroom featuring a stylish oval bathtub with handheld shower attachment, wall-hung circular wash hand basin with storage beneath and concealed cistern WC. Useful eaves storage further enhances the practicality of this attractive space.

Externally, the property occupies a particularly impressive plot extending to approximately 1.6 acres, incorporating established formal gardens, productive growing areas and paddock land. Access is provided through a traditional five-bar timber gate with separate pedestrian gate, opening onto a gravelled driveway which extends alongside the property towards the rear, where a timber garage and numerous additional outbuildings can be found.

The formal front gardens are predominantly laid to lawn and complemented by a wonderful variety of mature trees and established shrubs, creating a peaceful and attractive setting. Alongside the driveway is a dedicated growing area, currently used for vegetable cultivation and incorporating a greenhouse, ideal for those with an interest in gardening and home-grown produce.

Beyond the formal gardens, the paddock provides a generous expanse of additional land, featuring mature trees including established fruit trees, with hedging forming the boundaries. A recently constructed timber stable occupies a corner of the paddock, offering particular appeal to those with equestrian interests, subject to suitability and any necessary permissions. The grounds are further complemented by a timber garage, former stable and workshop spaces, providing excellent storage and versatility for hobbies, gardening equipment, or other practical uses.
