Poppy Cottage is a unique village home which has been the subject of a substantial two storey extension blending tastefully with the original building, it's stone elevations and blue pan tiled roof. The result is a spacious home of considerable character which extends to some 1800 square feet and must be viewed to be fully appreciated. Properties of this quality are seldom available with the location offering easy access to nearby Grantham and it's Railway Station giving access to London Kings Cross with a journey time from around 70 minutes only. The original extension plans provided for four bedrooms but the client preferred to create a large main bedroom with en suite facilities. It would therefore be possible to revert to a four bedroom layout at relatively modest expense should this be desired. A large through hall with lots of exposed stonework and a cloakroom off gives access to a splendid through lounge with a Clearview wood burning stove. The garden/dining room is situated off a stylish kitchen and overlooks the rear garden whilst there is a lovely cosy second sitting room/snug to the front, also with an open Victorian style fireplace. As already mentioned, the master bedroom is a spacious room with an en suite shower room and benefits from a range of fitted wardrobes as well as enjoying open country views to both the front and rear. There are two further characterful bedrooms and a bathroom to complete the internal summary. Outside there is ample off road parking and a wooden framed CARPORT with store is situated to the side and rear. The gardens are a particular feature offering space and privacy and will appeal to those seeking a real sense of country life yet only a few minutes from most amenities.
