Desirable detached home with excellent commuting links and enviable pastoral views in the highly sought after village of Heighington, discover Fern Hollow: the house that has it all.
Originally built in 1890, Fern Hollow is an exceptional country house which oozes charm and charisma. The property has been extended and is fully double glazed and now boasts superb-sized family accommodation with five generously appointed bedrooms. Nestled within approximately two acres of land with excellent parking facilities and outbuildings, the home cannot fail to impress.
Entering Fern Hollow on the ground floor, the main door opens up into an impressive hallway providing access to a large living room, overlooking the pleasing front garden, with wood burner for those cosy winter nights.
Across the hallway is a traditional kitchen/dining room, ideal for entertaining and family time. A downstairs cloakroom and principal bedroom boasting en-suite shower room complete this floor.
Making your way upstairs to the first floor, you will find four spacious bedrooms, two of which have the additional bonus of an en-suite shower room, as well as a private family bathroom which comes complete with a free-standing claw foot bath.
Mixing the contemporary with the traditional, the lower ground floor has been cleverly designed to provide fantastic living accommodation, will undoubtedly leave any potential purchasers smiling.
