An exceptional, traditionally built, family home, boasting over 3,400 sq. ft. of beautifully presented and highly versatile living space. This distinctive four-bedroom home enjoys an idyllic position within the picturesque conservation village of Aslackby and offered to the market with no onward chain.
The ground floor offers generous, light-filled rooms, including a superb kitchen with a dining area and French doors opening onto the rear terrace—ideal for indoor-outdoor living. Additional rooms include a dual aspect living room, spacious lounge with a characterful inglenook fireplace, formal dining room, separate utility room and WC.
The first floor is equally impressive, featuring a stunning principal bedroom complete with a dressing room and luxurious en-suite shower room. There are three further generously sized bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom and the other two with walk-in wardrobes. A well-appointed family bathroom completes the upstairs accommodation.
Externally, the property is approached via electric gates leading to a large gravel driveway and is set within mature grounds extending to approximately 0.84 acres. The beautifully landscaped and private gardens feature a hedged boundary, established trees, an expansive lawn, and a sunny rear terrace—ideal for outdoor entertaining. The detached double garage with a useful store area, benefits from a staircase leading to a 23ft first-floor office or games room, offering excellent additional space.
Despite the property being in a peaceful, rural location it is centrally positioned to provide convenient access to towns and cities with superb road and rail links. The nearby A15 provides easy access towards beautiful Stamford (17 miles) and Peterborough (23 miles) with its direct fast train to London King’s Cross taking approx. 40 mins, whilst the A1 is accessible within 13 miles.
Seller Insights
The house was built in 2008 and has been thoughtfully designed to create a spacious and welcoming family home. Offering over 3,400 sq. ft. of well-balanced accommodation, the property provides a perfect blend of generous social spaces for entertaining and cosy rooms to work and relax.
Set within a substantial plot of approximately 0.84 acres, the house enjoys an exceptional degree of privacy and peace, surrounded by mature hedging and established trees. The expansive lawn and south-facing terrace offer a wonderful connection to the outdoors, with French doors and dormer windows ensuring the interior is flooded with natural light throughout the seasons.
The layout is both flexible and future-proof. Currently, two of the four bedrooms benefit from en-suite facilities, while the remaining two each feature generous walk-in wardrobes or study areas—both of which could easily be converted into additional en-suites or a shared Jack and Jill bathroom, if desired.
A detached double garage includes a 23ft first-floor space with an additional landing area, Velux window, and store. This versatile area is ideal as a home office, gym, games room, or could even serve as annexe accommodation, subject to the necessary planning consents.
Despite its size, the property is notably energy-efficient (EPC rating C), thanks to its high-quality build, excellent insulation, and timber-framed double glazing throughout.
Aslackby is a charming conservation village with a strong sense of community. The active local church hosts a range of events and activities, offering opportunities to get involved as much or as little as you choose. The location combines the tranquillity of rural village life with convenient access to nearby towns, major road links, and excellent schooling options—truly offering the best of both worlds.
