Fine and Country Northern Lincolnshire are pleased to present to the market this delightful former curates cottage full of character. Approached along a secluded lane in the Lea of St Mary’s church on the fringe of the picturesque semi- rural village of Marshchapel. As you enter the property through a charming Lychgate, the South facing lawns unfold and encapsulate the true charm of this idyllic family home. The Grade two listed property is understood to date back to the 1870’s and has been sympathetically restored and extended through the years to evolve into the stunning family residence that it is today.

The property is superbly refurbished and extended to provide a three bedroomed family residence with potential if required to utilise a third reception room to create a fourth bedroom served by the ground floor shower room. The original property has been enhanced by the sympathetic extension of the breakfast kitchen fitted in a range of shaker style white units with traditional oak working surfaces and trim blending the new in seamlessly . There is a delight in the small details, a moulded brick fireplace with semi –circular inset Norman arch and multi fuel burning stove taking pride of place in the lounge creating a space to relax and take in the many features the room has to offer as well as providing tranquil views over the gardens. Formal occasions are catered for in the exposed beamed dining room. In addition there is a study with a second ornate fireplace and beamed ceiling as well as a versatile sitting room. To the first floor the three double bedrooms all benefit from glorious views over the garden, two of which are served by a traditional styled family bathroom with claw foot cast iron bath.

Set in primarily lawned gardens within over half an acre of landscaped grounds to include mature trees and block paved patios. Originally a double garage acts as a snooker room with games room over detached from the main property offers potential for conversion as a home office/annex subject to planning and building regulations. A stable and tack room offer further potential for conversion subject to the necessary permissions.
