DESCRIPTION .....

originally built for the employees of Everards Brewery in the 1930’s, this house has recently been extended and would be a perfect home for anyone wanting to live in an attractive village with easy access to major transport routes.

LOCATION....

Take the Ratcliffe on the Wreake turn off the A46 and within a couple of minutes turn at the church into the aptly named Church Lane, a quiet friendly cul-de-sac bordered by fields.

ENTER THE HOUSE....

Step through an authentic 1930’s front door with glazed panelling into the original monochrome tiled entrance hall. Ahead a flight of stairs lead to the bedrooms or open the door to the left which leads into a cosy sitting room with a wood burner nestled into the fireplace. The calm, restful room is tastefully decorated in neutral tones. 

MOVE THROUGH...

Towards the back of the house, open the door and step into a bright, sun filled contemporary living space. Sun rays pour from the lantern style roof light and through the large bifold doors which frame the pretty garden. 

This is the perfect space for eating, playing, cooking and entertaining. The current owners love chatting with friends who relax in the comfy sofa whilst they prepare supper.  When the food is ready, it’s time to eat at the spacious dining table. 

The kitchen area is stylish with a contemporary feel. Pendant cord lights and industrial style shelving underscore the up to date design. There is a built in dishwasher and fridge freezer as well as a handy built in cupboard to allow a tidy, clean living space.

This large room is bright and cheerful and at the same time cosy on cooler days due to the underfloor heating and second wood burning stove. 

SIDE ENTRANCE

A convenient door leads from the living area to a downstairs loo and lobby to the side door. The perfect place to kick off and store your muddy wellies and wet coats. Opposite the loo is large cupboard which currently houses the washing machine, a handy place to hide the laundry. 

HEAD OUTSIDE

step through the bifold doors onto the patio with a morning cup of tea or glass of wine at sundown. From here your eye will be drawn to the lawned garden just a couple of sleeper steps above. 

A sweet brick built outhouse is the perfect place to store your mower and outdoor bits and pieces. 

Potter down the garden past mature shrubs and you will spy a large timber shed and another patio. This sun trap is the ideal place for a  BBQ and evening drinks. As well as a small fruit and veg patch the rest of the garden is currently used to house a trampoline and swing set. 

Beyond the garden picturesque fields stretch away and every now and then a beautiful bovine face will appear to say ‘hello’!

UPSTAIRS....

at the top of the carpeted stairs a small window lights the landing and provides the perfect spot for your favourite picture or curio.

The front double bedroom has a fitted wardrobe, useful storage for an uncluttered space. The second double bedroom over looks the garden and fields, a truly restful outlook.

A smaller third bedroom would make a cosy guest room or could be a peaceful home office.

Finally a bright, white, recently refitted bathroom has a free standing roll top bath as well as a walk in shower. A little oasis of calm, a space to unwind in your own candlelit haven.
