Sitting on a 1/4 acre plot with a south facing extension, this spacious and beautiful family home is thoughtfully designed and is in excellent condition with a self contained annex! (With further planning for an extension) Set in a thriving village, it is well placed for schools, other good local amenities and the national road and rail networks.

The house is beautifully appointed, with high quality materials used throughout. It has been very well cared for by the current owners, with recently re-fitted and decorated bathrooms as well as an earlier south facing rear extension. Five bedrooms (two are en-suite) and four reception rooms plus a study/snug, mean accommodation is supremely flexible - allowing for entertaining, privacy and practical family living according to your desired mix.

Welcome - Approaching the house from the walled and brick-paved drive, stop and take a look. To the left is the double garage with electrically operated doors; and to the right of the house, behind double gates, the drive continues to the rear. On both sides of the house, in fact, is secure fencing and gates, so the back garden is ideal for children to play without fear of their wondering onto the road.

Back at the front of the house, the understated façade hints at the style and practicality of this warm family home - take a look at the extended porch which gives that extra bit of protection from the weather, at the same time emphasising the width of the house as it stretches across its plot. Take another look and you'll see that the house is in fact much deeper than it is wide - a promise of plenty of space inside too.

Hallway - At the front door, enter the hallway. You'll be facing south; immediately in front of you is the door to the sitting room. To the right is the study or snug. Immediately to your left is the downstairs w.c. Behind that is the separate utility room.

Take another couple of steps forward and you'll see the stairs to your left - very much part of the hall but cleverly set off so as not to dominate. Beyond the stairs is the 'back' door.

In the hall you'll also see the flooring which features in many of the rooms - not wood as it appears, but porcelain wood-effect tiles.

To the right of the hallway is the snug, currently used as a TV room but also eminently suitable as a study or home office.

Sitting Room - Continue forward to the sitting room. Here there is an open fireplace, a west facing window and on the south side a part-glazed wall with French windows into the adjoining room. To the right, the archway leads to what could be a dining room, office, or simply an additional area within the sitting room. From here continue to the kitchen.

Kitchen And Dining Room - Running across the width of the house, this is a stunning (and stunningly organised) space. A large kitchen area provides a breakfast bar and plenty of work surfaces and storage. There are two double ovens, a large fridge-freezer with an ice maker, integral dishwasher, plenty of power sockets and a 6 ring gas hob,

Large porcelain tiles run throughout the kitchen and dining area, with one 'zone' flowing seamlessly into the other. A plinth heater is perfect for that extra boost of warmth if required, while colour adjustable plinth lighting adds a nice touch in the evening and when entertaining.

Sun Room - Beyond the kitchen and dining room is the sun room - ideal for bright days in winter, spring and autumn when it is sunny but not warm enough to sit outside. Here there are bi-fold doors across the rear wall, with a single 'traffic' door also set in. The room faces south and looks out over the lawn, so it is bright and cheerful during the day, plus rooflights also provide that extra light on darker days. Return to the hallway and follow the stairs up to the landing.

Bedrooms Three, Four And Five - Bedroom 3 faces you as you reach the top of the stairs. It's a bright and spacious double-aspect room, a very large double, facing over the front drive and also the side of the west side of the house. Bedroom 4 is nearly square in shape ( 3.95m x 3.6m / 13'0ft x 11'10ft) and faces east to catch the morning sun. Bedroom 5 is the smallest and, although potentially just large enough for a double, it would be ideal as a child's room or for a occasional guest.

Family Bathroom - This separate bathroom is at the top of the stairs and is shared by bedrooms 3,4 and 5. Like the rest of the house, it is beautifully appointed. Floor and walls are fully tiled. There is a bath with shower - as in the rest of the bathrooms, this is an Aqualisa shower - plus a w.c., wash basin with generous storage beside and underneath. There is underfloor heating and, additionally, the mirror is heated to aid de-misting with a heated towel rail.

The Principle Bedroom - From the top of the stairs, turn left and continue straight ahead. In front of you on the left hand side is the main bedroom suite. A large window faces south over the garden, with generous built-in wardrobes that provide plenty of hanging and storage space. The ensuite shower room is luxuriously fitted out. The large walk-in cubicle has a powerful Aqualisa shower featuring digital remote controls. The hand basin is generously sized with a mirror and storage to match. The room is fully tiled on walls and floor, and as a finishing touch there is plinth lighting.

The Second Bedroom Suite - On the other side of the house to the principal suite, this is a fine long bedroom , also facing south. The ensuite shower room has a tiled floor, Aqualisa shower, w.c. and washbasin, and heated towel rail. Flooring to the bedroom is wood-effect laminate and storage is provided by a walk-in wardrobe. Return downstairs and go back to the sunroom.

The Great Outdoors - Outside - the back garden
From the sunroom, step out onto the patio. Immediately to the right is a large paved area ideal for a table and other garden furniture, with plenty of space for a barbeque too. Paving continues and becomes a path down the right hand side of the garden - leading eventually to the separate annex. There is a garden shed as well, ideal for storing garden tools and extras.

Outside - the annex
This is a completely self-contained unit. It's fully plumbed and with power. Inside its one room it is studio-style, with kitchen units and an oven, plus a separate shower room with w.c. As it stands now, this would be excellent as guest accommodation, a home office or a working studio; alternatively, it could be a games room or a gym. Also note that there is planning permission for an additional floor space to provide a bedroom and separate storeroom. This extra potential could make it ideal as a "granny annex" or similar.

Outside - The garage
You will have seen the garage as you approached the house. It is a good double, measuring 5.67m x 4.69m (18'7ft x 15'5ft) with a single electrically operated double door. There is side door facing the house and there is also an EV charging point already installed.

Outside - the front garden
Unusual for houses on East Street, East Lea is set back from the road. Approaching along the street the gateway can be spotted by the large willow tree. The drive itself can be closed with lockable gates, and lighting along the walls adds ambience and security. Most of the front garden is lawn, with edging of shrubs and small trees.

A Prime Location - Hibaldstow is well provided with local amenities, including a GP's surgery, two local shops, a hairdresser, garage, two churches, a working men's club and a village pub, The Wheatsheaf Hotel. There are numerous small businesses including a chip shop and vegan restaurant. The village has its own primary school, with good secondary schools and a sixth form college just four miles away in the nearby market town of Brigg. Hibaldstow is also within the catchment area of the Wyke Sixth Form College in Hull.

In Brigg you will find a good choice of shops and supermarkets. There is a railway station connecting to Grimsby in the east and Scunthorpe and Doncaster to the west. From Hibaldstow, Scunthorpe is 9 miles away, with Lincoln 20 miles away to the south. By road, the journey to Doncaster (and mainline trains) takes about 40 minutes, and Sheffield about an hour. There is easy access to main roads and Junction 4 of the M180, by Brigg, leads to the rest of the motorway system. The Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the beaches of the east coast are within easy reach.
