A pretty and well-presented private residence situated in the heart of this pretty and accessible village with stunning gardens and within easy reach of Grantham station (London Kings Cross 1 hr).
Description - A charming detached residence with warmth and character throughout, located in the heart of this popular and pretty village, overlooking St Peter's Church with extensive and impressive gardens. Accommodation briefly includes four reception rooms, kitchen, six bedrooms, three bathrooms including an ensuite to the master.
Location - Foston is a small village some 6 miles north of Grantham just off the A1. The village enjoys a visit from the mobile fish and chip van on Wednesdays, regular wine tasting and pub nights in the village hall, as well as the occasional jazz concert in the church. It is also 7 miles south of Newark and 18 miles east of Nottingham. Nearby Long Bennington boasts many amenities including local shopping facilities, quaint cafe, a popular Primary School (rated 'Good' by Ofsted) and an excellent doctors surgery. Leisure facilities include a bowling green and tennis courts.
Foston is within the catchment for the Grammar Schools of Grantham (buses to Grantham and Newark schools).
Grantham benefits from a fast and reliable rail service into London Kings Cross (1 hour). The town has its own multiplex cinema and already benefits from an arts centre and theatre, along with an excellent leisure centre with facilities for swimming, fitness training and racquet sports. Nearby, the 17th Century Belton House offers beautiful grounds, as well as being home to the superb Belton Park Golf Club where visitors and members are offered 27 challenging holes. Neighbouring Belton Woods also has three golf courses on offer, as well as leisure facilities and spa. Local residents will delight in the charming selection of tea rooms, cafés, restaurants and traditional inn-keeper style pubs, typical of a vibrant market town such as this one. The shopping centre provides an intriguing mix of independent stores and family-run boutiques, alongside several major high street names and a good range of supermarkets. A designer outlet is currently being constructed.
Outside - The property stands on a good sized plot of almost 0.5 acre. The property is approached either via a small pedestrian gate to the front, or via electric gates to the side aspect. To the front there are impeccably maintained gardens predominantly laid to lawn with flower borders with gravelled pathway to the front door, outside security lighting and hedging to the boundaries. A block paved driveway also leads to the double garage and directly to the side of the property in front of the garage is block paved parking for several cars extending on to a gravelled area with further parking space.
The gardens continue to the left-hand side with lawn and generous well stocked borders and at the rear there is a predominantly lawned garden with established shrubs, a brick and pan tile outbuilding, patio across the rear of the property with built-in barbecue and a selection of different seating areas. There is hedging to the side boundary and at the bottom of the garden there is a vegetable plot and further brick outbuilding with views across to the Church. The rear garden has outside lighting and cold water tap and a courtyard area off the utility room with gate leading back to the driveway which is gravelled and provides ample parking, including the large double garage.
