3 bedroom house

A rare opportunity has arisen to acquire an unlisted stone barn conversion believed to have been converted in the 1980's. The property has adjoined outbuildings, a good size driveway leading to a detached double garage and private gardens to the rear. The property is situated in the peaceful semi rural hamlet of Ashton, just five miles from Stamford and, within easy reach of Peterborough and the A1.
While the property would benefit from updating throughout, it does present great scope to create an extremely attractive home in a very desirable location.

To the left is the breakfast kitchen which sits beside a morning room. Beyond this is the rear lobby, and a large workshop which houses the boiler.
On the opposite side of the the hallway is a dining room which also provides access to the garden room.
An inner hallway continues to a study, beyond which is a lovely sitting room which has an Inglenook fireplace housing a woodburning stove and windows on three aspects including a deep bay with a window seat beneath and French doors opening to the rear garden.

The principal bedroom is located beside a large bathroom that could quite easily be rearranged to create en suite facilities.
Along the hallway are two further bedrooms and another bathroom, completing the first floor accommodation.

To the rear is a private garden, with two single storey outbuildings adjoining the main house. The driveway provides plenty of parking and leads to a detached double garage with timber doors.
