4 bedroom detached house for sale

Situated on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds in rolling countryside, Birdsong is located within the historic and picturesque village of Old Bolingbroke. This new-build property is being developed on a green-field site where full planning permission was granted for three detached and distinctive residential houses. The three properties are generously spaced, and two of the three properties are complete and owner occupied with established landscaped gardens.

Birdsong offers a special opportunity to purchase a property to be completed on a generous plot measuring approximately 0.2 Acres (s.t.s) within a conservation area.

The L-shaped accommodation currently comprises (1) A dual aspect sitting room 19' x 18' with a large fireplace aperture and direct access to the proposed inner courtyard garden. (2) The "Snug" with a feature exposed brick wall, a second fireplace and direct access to the proposed inner courtyard garden. The Snug is open plan through to the kitchen. The Snug/Kitchen space, 30' x 13' max, is divided by a partial wall. (3) Boot Room/Utility, currently the principal entrance. (4) Ground floor cloakroom.

The first floor is designed to provide (1) Master ensuite bedroom 13' x 12' with a southerly view to "The Point", a local hill 3/4 mile away. (2) & (3) Two further double bedrooms and (4) a family four-piece bathroom (5) a dual aspect galleried landing.

The property is connected to mains water, mains electricity and mains drainage. OpenReach wired broadband is connected.

The present owners obtained planning permission to vary the design of the detached garage into the style of a rural "cart-barn" with an oak-framed entrance. When complete this outbuilding will feature a storage room, a large single garage and 135 sq ft of flexible space with potential to provide a 9' x 8' office and an 8' x 7' laundry room.

In addition to the garage, the large driveway provides ample parking for numerous vehicles.

The wrap-around grounds capture the sun throughout the day with the south facing orientation of the plot. The grounds provide potential to be landscaped as (1) The inner courtyard garden 26' x 23' framed by the L-shaped house plus outbuilding on three sides and open to the south. The proposed courtyard may provide a natural suntrap and potential for being designed in the style of a Mediterranean gravelled garden. (2) Outer wrap-around garden with continuous lawn and borders around three sides of the property.

No A or B class main roads run through the village, and this tends to limit vehicle traffic. Birdsong is situated adjacent to Chapel Lane and is set back from the public road. An established hedge and slight elevation above the lane enhances the perception of privacy along the front elevation.

Old Bolingbroke has an active village community which hosts multiple cultural events throughout the year including religious, cultural and bellringing events at the parish church. The village benefits from multiple communal green spaces and the myriad of minor lanes in the village encourage a lifestyle of routine walking and the surrounding hills create more ambitious rambling routes along quiet lanes and footpaths.

Viewing is essential to fully appreciate the position and potential and give the opportunity to consider the full scope of this property. In the Agent’s opinion the first floor could be reconfigured to provide four bedroomed accommodation (s.t.p.p.) as an example. This property ideally suits cash purchasers although specialist lending may be available through certain lenders. Purchasers proceedability will be checked upon offering. Viewers should be aware that the site does contain hazards, as all building sites do, and should dress appropriately for the visit.
