Orchard Cottage, Westby

More about the property

Situated in the peaceful rural hamlet of Westby, approximately six miles southeast of the market town of Grantham, this spacious detached four bedroom bungalow offers countryside living with far-reaching field and paddock views, while still remaining within easy reach of excellent amenities and transport links.

Westby is a small and tranquil setting surrounded by open countryside, yet Grantham is just a short drive away and provides a comprehensive range of facilities including shops, supermarkets, primary and secondary schools including both grammar schools, restaurants, bars, cafés, a cinema, healthcare services and a mainline train station with a direct service to London King’s Cross in around one hour.

The bungalow itself enjoys an enviable position with beautiful views to the rear and side across open fields and neighbouring paddocks, where horses are often seen grazing, creating a wonderful sense of space and rural charm. The accommodation is both versatile and well maintained, beginning with a welcoming entrance hall which incorporates a cleverly tucked-away utility area. The kitchen is fitted with modern units and features a classic Rangemaster-style 90 range cooker with hob, along with a useful pantry cupboard, making it a practical and sociable space for family life.

From the kitchen, the layout flows naturally into a dual aspect dining room that enjoys plenty of natural light, with an archway leading through to the lounge. The lounge provides an inviting living space and benefits from French doors opening out to the rear garden, perfectly framing the countryside views and allowing for seamless indoor and outdoor living during the warmer months.

There are four well proportioned bedrooms, offering flexibility for families, guests or those working from home. Two of the bedrooms are serviced by a Jack and Jill En-suite, while a modern shower room caters for the remaining accommodation.

Externally, the property continues to impress with ample driveway parking for approximately five+ vehicles, leading to a detached double garage fitted with an electric up and over door. The garage also provides internal access to a beautiful garden room positioned to the side, which is uPVC double glazed, fitted with a radiator and houses the oil-fired boiler. This additional space enjoys pleasant views back towards the garden and offers potential for a hobby room, home office or further reception area.

The rear garden has been well maintained and is predominantly laid to lawn with established flower beds and patio seating areas at both the top and bottom of the garden, creating ideal spaces for entertaining or simply relaxing while taking in the open field and paddock views and meeting a horse or 2. An outside water tap is also installed for convenience. The property further benefits from uPVC double glazing and oil-fired central heating throughout.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a spacious detached bungalow in a sought-after rural location with stunning outlooks and excellent access to Grantham and beyond. Contact Pygott & Crone today to arrange your viewing.
