Description
Nestled in the heart of the picturesque village of Benington, this delightful 17th-century Grade II listed detached home offers a wonderful blend of period charm and modern convenience.
Set within approximately 0.25 acres of beautifully maintained grounds and enjoying views over the village duck pond, this spacious property extends to over 2,300 sq. ft. across two floors.
Thoughtfully updated with secondary double glazing throughout, the home retains a wealth of original features including elegant sash windows, exposed timbers and characterful brick fireplaces—perfect for those who appreciate heritage and style.
The welcoming entrance hall includes a cloakroom and leads into a cosy sitting room with a stunning inglenook fireplace and sash windows to the front. The versatile dining/family room enjoys a dual aspect and features bespoke cabinetry and access to a charming side courtyard and herb garden. A bright garden room opens onto the rear patio, ideal for relaxing or entertaining.
The kitchen/breakfast room has been tastefully refurbished with new tiled flooring, an Aga, and an electric oven and hob. A utility area with exposed vertical beams adds both practicality and character.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes and a newly fitted adjacent shower room. Two further double bedrooms also feature built-in storage and lovely views to the front. A second bathroom completes the first floor, offering a bath and excellent natural light.
Outside, the gated driveway provides parking for several vehicles and leads through a decorative archway to the side of the property. The garden is a true highlight—laid to lawn with mature flower beds, shrubs and two patio areas perfect for enjoying the outdoors. There’s also a productive vegetable garden, greenhouse, storage shed and log store.
