More about the property

GUIDE PRICE: £650,000 – £675,000 – Danley Lodge is a truly individual detached residence with a separate detached stone barn, all set within an impressive plot of around half an acre and enjoying far-reaching views across open paddocks, offering a wonderful sense of space and privacy in one of the area’s most sought-after villages.

This distinctive home has been thoughtfully designed to provide versatile and well-proportioned accommodation, perfectly suited to modern family living. The welcoming entrance hall leads through to a generous dining hall which creates a striking first impression and flows seamlessly into a delightful garden room, allowing natural light to pour in and providing a lovely connection to the outdoor space. A spacious dual aspect living room offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, centred around a feature fireplace, while the open-plan kitchen and breakfast area forms the heart of the home, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. A ground floor bedroom adds further flexibility, whether used for guests, multi-generational living or as an additional workspace, complemented by a separate study/home office.

To the first floor, a galleried landing enhances the feeling of space and leads to a well-appointed principal bedroom with its own en suite facilities. There are three further generous double bedrooms, all served by a family bathroom, making this an ideal layout for growing families.

The outside space is equally impressive, with the property occupying a substantial plot that offers both privacy and open views. A standout feature is the substantial detached stone barn, which provides an exceptional lifestyle opportunity. Currently arranged as a reception room which previously was a pool area, gym, sauna, shower facilities and an impressive games room with a full-size snooker table above, this building offers enormous potential for a variety of uses. Whether retained as a leisure complex, adapted for business use, or potentially converted into an annexe or separate dwelling (subject to the necessary planning permissions), it adds a unique dimension to the property.

Further outbuildings include extensive garaging and a timber barn with multiple bays and a carport, providing ample space for several vehicles, making it particularly appealing to car enthusiasts, collectors or those seeking space for a home business or workshop.

Danley Lodge presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and versatile home in the highly regarded village of Welby. The location combines a peaceful rural setting with excellent connectivity, being just a short distance from Grantham where fast rail services to London King’s Cross can be reached in around an hour, alongside convenient access to the A1 and surrounding market towns and cities.
