GROUND FLOOR
This characterful property has been renovated by the current owners to a high standard yet retains many of its original features. The front entrance door opens to the first of two reception rooms – a dining room – which, in-turn, provides access to a sitting room. Laid to quarry tiled flooring and complete with traditional range fireplaces and radiators, both rooms provide the ideal space for hosting visitors. The dining room also opens to an inner hallway which, with useful understairs cupboard storage space, leads to the kitchen; this, complete with rear external access, has stripped pine cupboards to one side and an alcove to the other with the original brick copper base. There are ivory cream additional base units alongside granite effect working surfaces and a ceramic sink unit, plus an integrated dishwasher. Off the inner hallway, there is also access to a utility room / pantry room which has additional worksurface space, plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer. The Worcester gas-fired central heating boiler is also located in this room. There is also a downstairs cloakroom on the ground floor. Stripped internal doors, exposed floorboards and traditional double-glazed sliding box sash windows are other features which enhance the aesthetics and charm throughout the property.
FIRST FLOOR
To the first floor there is a landing leading to three bedrooms which, all a double size, comprise open floorboards and traditional fireplaces. The family bathroom is of a generous size complete with a four-piece suite to include a characterful roll-top bath and a walk-in shower facility. Off the landing, there is also a useful cupboard for extra storage.
EXTERIOR
Externally, to the front of the property, there is an extensive lawned garden with fruit trees and shrubs bordered by mature hedging. There is a generous driveway with parking for numerous vehicles which, in-turn, is bordered by several outbuildings. These include a brick and pantile garage (15'0" x 12'2" (4.56m x 3.71m)) with internal interconnecting door into a further outbuilding; a workshop (14'0" x 12'6" (4.30m x 3.84m)) with light, power and rear door to crew yard; and a home office (13'9" x 11'8" (4.18m x 3.54m)) with character vaulted ceiling, light, power and plumbing for washing machine. To the rear of the property, landscaped gardens continue to include a lawn and patio area. There is good circulation space around the buildings.
CREW YARD AND OUTBUILDINGS
On the north side of the property is a fine range of traditional single-storey brick and pantile outbuildings grouped together around a traditional crew yard. There are endless opportunities to utilize this space according to needs and preferences to include a further home working area; a gymnasium; or an annex for those wanting to generate additional income. West Lindsey District Council have issued a positive Pre-App for ancillary and annex conversion of the barns. Additional possibilities may be available subject to planning. The group of barns also features an attractive open fronted cart shed and has its own amenity area and separate access to the village road. This includes a driveway formed in road plannings with parking / manoeuvring space.
LAND
Extending north and east is grassland which, with a small pond feature, is bordered by mature hedges with a separate field gate to the village road. Water is laid on to the field and crew yard buildings.
LOCATION
Heapham itself is a quiet Lincolnshire village in a rural location yet only a short drive away from Gainsborough town centre and the popular shopping development of Marshall's Yard. It is also within easy access of the city of Lincoln. Gainsborough has good connections to the A1 via junctions at Bawtry and Newark, with mainline railway services to London and Edinburgh available from Retford railway station.
