Property Description

If character, original features, generous living space and potential to convert extra space into living accommodation, office or granny annex is on your list of must haves.. Then this lovely home could be right up your street!

This fantastic Edwardian home just oozes character and charm, with high ceilings and full of original features such as high skirting boards, picture rails, cupboards and cast iron fire places - a dream home for anyone looking for originality and potential to improve on.
Set on the North side of town within easy walking distance of the town centre and both Primary and Secondary schools, this is a great spot for anyone wanting to use their car less. For those that need to commute the home is ideally set for access to Grantham, the A1 and Oakham but also easily accessing the ring road for those needing to commute to Leicester, Nottingham Loughborough and the M1.

So the home is entered at the front up a few steps to a storm porch protecting the original wooden and coloured glass front door, having crossed the tarmac frontage providing off road parking for 1 good size car or 2 smaller ones. Opening the proper front door and typical of this style house, a long hall leads to the stairs and then to both the living space on the right, and the kitchen diner straight ahead. The light catches the coloured glass in the door and the character and age of this home floods the space.

To the right the door leads into the dining area to the left and the living room to the right, a large opening between them gives this room space and options for use. A window in the dining area overlooks the rear garden and allows light into this area which meets with the natural light pouring in from the large walk in bay window at the other end of this large room. An open fire place with tiled surround could easily accommodate a log burner or made into a decorative feature depending on the use of this room. Currently housing a large dining table, it would also make a great playroom or extra sitting area depending on your family lifestyle.
The other end of this lovely generous room is spacious enough for plenty of seating to make sure all the family or guest are comfortable whilst the cast iron open fire place gives a great focal point as well as heating the room nice and toasty. The large walk in bay window overlooks the front of the home and adds to the character of this room.

The kitchen sits in the centre of this house and is truly the heart of the home. A large room with plenty of work space and cupboards including original cupboards besides the chimney breast which now houses a range for cooking the family meals.A large window runs along one wall overlooking a pretty courtyard to the side of the house whilst making this a light room to work in. This kitchen just feels spacious with loads of floor space even with a dining table in place - a fantastic place to entertain guests or have great family gatherings which can spill out into the garden through the side door.
To the back of the kitchen a good size utility space has room for washers and dryers as well as a fridge freezer and extra storage - a great extra to this already brilliant space.

Going out of the side door into the courtyard, there is room to sit if wanted or leave the garden via a gate to the right. To the left the path guides past 2 doorways then opens up into a lovely seating area and fully enclosed garden with pretty flowers and mature shrubs enjoying the sun for most of the day. An easy keep and easily enjoyed garden large enough for children to play or grownups to entertain or just enjoy.

So back to the doors.. The first is a good size storage area - great for kids toys, gardening equipment or perhaps your bike.
The next door opens into a good size room completely separate from the house but a fantastic surprise with the potential to turn into what ever your dream it to be. This room needs some attention but has double sliding opening into the garden - perhaps a great sun room or play room. It has its own loo and wash basin making it an ideal space for those perhaps wanting to run a business from home or just want a home office or maybe a gym. For those that are more adventurous with their plans it could become a granny annex or teenager/young adults own space. Or with a little more work it could become part of the main house if the utility room was knocked through providing room for a downstairs bathroom and extra living space .... The dreams and options are yours!

Back into the house and up the stairs, the first room is the smallest bedroom overlooking the back garden. Although currently a child's bedroom, this room would easily accommodate a double bed and other furniture if needed, and with its built in cupboard, would make a great teenagers or guest room. The galleried landing skirts the stairs along the hall featuring original wooden architrave and picture rails and guides to the rest of the upstairs rooms, the next being the family bathroom which has a character of its own.

Next to the bathroom also overlooking the rear garden, is the second double bedroom, used at present as an office/ mancave/ spare room.... It is a lovely room with its original cast iron fire reminding us of the past and plenty of space for a double bed and furniture - again another lovely child, teenager or guest room.

Along the hall to the front of the home and the main bedroom has a bit of the wow factor... A generously sized room with lovely walk in bay window featuring a lovely cast iron fire with original tiling giving a glimpse into times gone by. This is a fantastic size with plenty of room for a king size bed perhaps a chair and other furniture. One wall houses built in wardrobes leaving the rest of the floor space to fill as desired.

This is a fantastic house to get your hands on and make your own, whether you want a family home, are just starting out, looking for a bit of a project or just looking for character and space... Do not miss out pick up the phone now or go on line to book a viewing ... Quick!
