A highly individual, 5 bedroom home of solid construction using Anstone sourced from a local supplier towards Lincoln, enjoys a sizeable, mature, south facing garden and exceptional, far reaching views across the fenland fields. Commissioned by the owners and completed in July 1997 it has been a wonderful family home ever since.
The property is in a quiet rural area offering excellent schools, with Boston only about a 10 minute drive south. Both Peterborough and Grantham are around an hour away where there are fast, frequent trains to London, the former’s taking just 45 minutes. The beautiful historic city of Lincoln is less than an hour away to the northwest whilst the Lincolnshire Wolds are about 12 miles north and the coast 15 miles east.
“Chimneys is an architect designed home that we commissioned, constructed during 1995 using traditional materials in a vernacular style. It sits in the quiet village of Sibsey Northlands, a friendly community that welcomed our family and supported us the whole time it was being built. The village location is perfect for walks, cycling, boating and fishing along the many nearby waterways.”
“The property is constructed under a clay pantile roof with feature stone exterior and dense concrete inner wall construction on mass concrete foundations and ground floor slab. The suspended first floor and roof carcass is from traditional cut timbers with staggered eaves and gabled dormers required by the planning authority. Within the house are two open fireplaces with diagonal feature chimney stacks to the roof and front gable - hence the property name.”
“We have adapted the house over recent years fitting a new kitchen – the ceramic floor tiles have been laid wall to wall if someone wanted to alter it – as well as re-decorating, replacing the uPvc double-glazed windows, and installing a ground source heat pump supplemented with photo voltaic energy from the solar panels on the roof. There are 16 4 kilowatt panels which dramatically reduce our energy bills making it a very economic home to run.”
“The en suite to the master bedroom is fully tiled and incorporates a large, wet room shower. The downstairs WC is also fully tiled in beautiful, classic, Travertine tiles which we absolutely love!”
“The living room has views over the fields to the east and down the garden to the south where French doors open onto a large paved terrace ideal for relaxing or entertaining in the summer. We fitted the wood-burner in the fireplace which makes it really cosy in winter.”
“The house is very versatile in its use of space. The study might make a downstairs bedroom with a bedroom or bedrooms upstairs used as studies. We have worked from home using a dish for the Wi-fi but there are fibre optics in the village so the property could easily be connected to that for superfast broadband.”
“It’s very quiet and peaceful here and we see so many birds and lots of wildlife with muntjac appearing in the garden sometimes. The garden is a good size, private and very sunny with wonderful views across the fields, and a perfect space for children to run around and play and for outside entertaining.”
“It’s a thriving community here and in Sibsey village. Both have village halls which are well used for keep fit classes, Brownies, Scouts and so on. Sibsey has a popular little primary school, a pub serving food and a useful shop with a post office. Beautiful walks are from our doorstep; you just go down the lane to a bridge over the waterway –a popular fishing haunt – and can walk for miles.”
Location
The property is located a couple of miles north of Sibsey in Sibsey Northlands where a small community has developed surrounded by open farmland with its own village hall. Sibsey itself is a small village on the A16 about 4 miles north of Boston, set in the Lincolnshire fens and has a fine windmill, Sibsey Trader Mill, on the outskirts, which is open to the public at certain times. The village has a good little primary school, a well-stocked general store with post office, a busy village hall and a pub serving food, the White Hart.
Fast train services to London Kings Cross are from Grantham and Peterborough as well as to other cities nationwide, each around an hour’s drive, with Peterborough’s trains taking only 45 minutes. The A1 can be picked up at both of these and at Newark, also an hour away, if travelling north.
Schools
Sibsey Free Primary School is rated Good by Ofsted and is situated in the village just a couple of miles south of the property. Boston, 6 miles south, has much sought after secondary schools, both its Grammar School and High School, both rated Good by Ofsted. In Horncastle, 15 miles (25 mins) north on the edge of the Wolds, Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School is a superb, co-educational grammar school rated Outstanding by Ofsted.
