East View Cottage, High Street, Swaton

More about the property

Full of charm and character, this deceptively spacious period cottage (circa 1890) offers some 1924sqft of versatile accommodation, which could include a potential annexe idea for multi – generational use. One of the main features of the property is the former village carpenter’s workshop, which is now a superb lounge with vaulted ceiling and mezzanine. Not only is the property a beautiful home, but it enjoys a superb, generous plot with west-facing views over adjacent countryside to the rear. The property has oil-fired central heating, two open fires and under-floor electric heating in the conservatory. Most windows are double glazed wood-effect uPVC. Whilst enjoying this small village location, the property is only about a mile from the A52, giving excellent access to surrounding towns including Grantham (some 15 miles away) where there are inter-city rail services and access to the A1.

The extensive accommodation includes access from the side door off the drive into an entrance hall with two oak doors, cloakroom, kitchen, butler’s sink area, utility room (with a walk-in pantry off it), rear hall and conservatory. From here an inner hall serves a double bedroom, study and bathroom with a roll top bath and wet room off. These rooms could potentially create an annexe. From the front entrance door (the oldest parts of the cottage) is a dining room with open fire on the left and a small study also with an open fire to the right. To the first floor is a landing with a walk-in wardrobe and two double bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom.

Outside a gravel driveway provides parking for several vehicles together with brick-built store. The front of the property is afforded privacy by the established hedge, whilst to the rear, the large, mainly lawned garden is a particular feature with a large patio overlooking the adjoining field.

Nearby are several good primary schools. The secondary system of education has both grammar schools and Academies locally and the 11+ system still exists as the entrance exam for local grammar schools.

AGENTS NOTE The back part of the rear garden is classed as agricultural land and cannot be built on.

We are advised by the vendor that there are grants available from North Kesteven District Council to update the EPC Rating.
