Hartfield House is a substantial period home on the edge of Waltham on the Wolds, offering flexible family living across approximately 3,003 sq ft. The house combines original character — stone walls, Victorian bay and mouldings — with a comprehensive refurbishment completed in 2012, including a full rewire, replumb and new roof, so it is largely ready to move into.
Accommodation suits a growing or multi-generational family: four double bedrooms (two en-suites and a family bathroom), five reception rooms, an extended dining kitchen, utility and a garden room. The plot is generous, with a large gravel driveway, double garage, enclosed rear garden, greenhouse and vegetable beds — plenty of space for children, pets and storage.
Practical points to note: heating is by oil-fired boiler to radiators and the property has an Energy Rating D. The stone walls are original sandstone/limestone and likely lack cavity insulation, so further insulation work could improve efficiency and running costs. Council Tax is Band G, reflecting the house size and local rates.
Set in a very affluent, low-crime village with good primary schools, local shops, a pub and community facilities, the location offers rural peace while remaining within commuting reach of Melton Mowbray, Grantham and mainline rail links. This home will appeal to families seeking a substantial, characterful house with modern services but who understand the ongoing costs and potential improvements related to heating and wall insulation.
