3 Duck Lane is a unique timber-framed 16th Century Grade II Listed property full of character in the beautiful village of Benington.
Description
No 3 Duck Lane is a unique timber-framed 16th Century Grade II Listed property full of character in the beautiful village of Benington. The house has not been on the market since 1891, when it was acquired by the Rector of Benington, remaining in his family since.
The property is beautifully presented and offers excellent accommodation over two floors with garden or rural views from every room. The house has been extended within the last twenty years and over that time has been renovated in parts and maintained to a good standard throughout.
Arranged over two floors, this charming house has multiple living rooms on the ground floor which offer excellent flexible uses. There is a fantastic flow in the arrangement of the ground floor and includes a well proportioned room at the front which would make an excellent study, a lovely open plan kitchen/breakfast room with a delightful window seat, a bright Orangery, a utility room and two further rooms which would make excellent snug/tv rooms and dining areas.
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The main bedroom is an excellent size with delightful triple aspect views.
There is good storage on the first floor and includes a loft which is boarded and fitted with lighting.
Outside, there is a lovely garden which is zoned into two main areas. The garden has a delightful pond and vegetable patch complete with raised border beds and water connections.
There are beautiful mature trees and a delightful summer house with patio. There is a pretty wooden bridge over the pond ideal for wildlife watching.
To the front of the house is a driveway with space for multiple vehicles and a pretty front garden and path which leads to the front door.
