A spacious three-double-bedroom detached home on a substantial corner plot in Countesthorpe, dating from 1923 and thoughtfully updated for modern family life. The ground floor centres on a refurbished open-plan kitchen-diner with bay windows and patio doors that open onto mature, wrap-around gardens — ideal for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. Two separate reception rooms, original fireplaces and contemporary finishes retain period character while offering comfortable everyday space.
The first floor provides a generous principal bedroom with an en-suite, two further double bedrooms and a refurbished family bathroom. Practical extras include a detached garage, driveway parking and mains gas central heating with a modern boiler. The property is freehold, has fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and sits in a quiet, affluent neighbourhood with good local schools and low crime.
Buyers should note the house’s solid brick construction (typical of its era) means wall insulation may be limited and there is an EPC rating of D; upgrading insulation could reduce running costs. Council tax is above average for the area. Overall, the house offers strong family appeal with immediate move-in condition in many areas and clear scope for further energy-efficiency improvements or cosmetic personalisation.
