Set within a substantial plot with an enviable south-facing rear garden, this large detached home boasts over 140sq m of living space, a detached double garage with extensive parking, large reception rooms, and a stunning spiral staircase leading to a huge bathroom and large bedrooms. Viewing is absolutely essential, so step inside, it's larger than you think...

Welcome to Matthew Flinders Way - so called after its famous namesake; the acclaimed local Navy Officer and Cartographer who was the first person to circumnavigate mainland Australia. Having an address with a trailblazers name in it is just the beginning. This unique, large home sets the standard from the outset. Approached by a quiet, treelined road, No9 has a broad frontage, including a wide driveway that leads to a detached double garage at the rear. The entrance hall at the front of the home is extraordinarily well lit, with two full length windows set either side of a fully glazed front door. Stepping inside and you're met with a spacious tiled entrance area, with a stunning, bespoke spiral staircase that ascends to the first floor.

The home is well proportioned, with a huge lounge overlooking the front - with a rather rare and far reaching view over to St Botolph's Church (the Boston Stump), with it's 272ft tower standing proud on the horizon. Such size allows for a wide range of living arrangements, offering a wealth of space to accommodate larger gatherings of family and friends where necessary, whilst retaining a cosy charm with its plush draw-string operated curtains. The rear of the home is occupied predominantly by cooking and eating quarters - with a beautifully spacious dining room that overlooks the rear. At around 162sqft, the dining room is more than capable of hosting a large gathering around a table for 8-10 people with ease. The kitchen has huge dual aspect windows to the rear and side, looking into the sun room and out to the side respectively. Adopting a C-shape configuration - worksurface in a contrasting dark finish spreads around three of the four walls, with plenty of undercounter cupboards, as well as triple floor to ceiling units, a double cupboard, and space for the dish washer and washing machine. The downstairs accommodation is rounded off with a rear-facing sunroom that absorbs daylight all day everyday, a fabulous spot for warming up even on the cold days. With a WC and side rear door to the driveway within this area, the ground floor tour is concluded.

The first floor is just as impressive as downstairs. The large landing area doesn't at all feel claustrophobic or cramped having such a large spiral staircase, and offers added space to style with console tables with lovely lights, an accent chair, or a tall and established houseplant for a splash of green. A large window to the front aspect draws an enormous amount of natural light, filling all corners of the landing area with a refreshing brightness that accentuates the feeling of size and grandeur even more.

The bedrooms to the front and rear aspects are within inches of each other in terms of overall size. Each providing built-in cupboard space and huge windows that continue the theme of a bright, fresh and clean home. The owners choice to maintain light and natural wood colour schemes elevates the mood throughout, giving us European holiday villa vibes as we explored this gorgeous home with wonder. Maintaining the ongoing theme of size, quality and brightness, the last room of the home is the impressive four piece suite bathroom. Wow. What a space to relax in. Having been given a full facelift in the last couple of years, this huge room has been finished with a pastel yellow emulsion that compliments the white and natural stone coloured tiling to the walls and floor. A modern vanity unit includes a floating wash basin and WC, with a huge bath tub beside the window. When we say a huge bath tub, we mean a big, big bath. Fitted with a pump to enhance water flow-rate - you can be sinking into this almost palatial sized tub in no time for a well earned relaxing soak. Within the opposing walls recess, a large double sliding doored shower offers more space than you realistically need - maintaining the feeling of luxury and executive comfort.

As we head out to the garden, an oversized L-shaped driveway with turning space sits before the double garage, offering the comfort of never having to reverse into your drive again. Capable of holding a multitude of vehicles, plus the large electric roller shutter fronted garage, hosting multiple guests is light work. The garden is established, with a bordered lawn that reaches down from the patio area, and reaches right around the full width of the garage, absorbing full day sunshine with its south facing aspect. A fabulous potting shed with an array of windows is the perfect oversized greenhouse, and sits by the rear wall of the garage. Finished with a pergola covered walkway with climber plants all over it that runs down the garage wall, passing a personnel door and two large water butts, this garden blooms in the warmer months and is a green fingered paradise. We're so excited to bring the home to the market and cannot wait to start our accompanied viewing tours...

Rooms

Entrance Hall
The tiled entrance hall offers a spacious and clean feel. The full glazed door is flanked by full length windows either side, with light coloured floor tiles and emulsioned walls offering a summery and welcoming vibe. The large, broad, bespoke tiled spiral staircase suits the property perfectly. Doors lead to the lounge and dining room.

Lounge
5.36m x 4.58m - 17'7" x 15'0"
The large living room is the hub of the home. Fronted by a tall and rather broad window, this sizeable room is well lit and very well proportioned. With a modern gas fire and black marble hearth from the local, reputable William Kents of Horncastle Road, the room offers enough blank wall space to really get creative and customise your layout. What's your style? A contemporary corner sofa, media wall, cuddle chairs, or a more relaxed feel with huge reclining chairs either side of a deep and plush sofa? This large lounge can accommodate your style perfectly.

Dining Room
4.27m x 3.54m - 14'0" x 11'7"
The formal dining room follows suit in being a bright and spacious reception room - with an equally as large window as the lounge that overlooks the rear, this tiled room offers a wide range of potential uses. In its current format, it's home to a six seater dining table with more than enough space around it for sideboards, cabinets, Welsh dressers etc. A much larger dining table would live in here quite happily, with room still for furniture around the edges where desired.

Kitchen
5.35m x 3.41m - 17'7" x 11'2"
Another great sized room! The light colour palette lifts the room beautifully, with cream tiled edged with a contrasting mosaic style border, matching cupboards and cabinets set against a cream splashback tile, with a contrasting dark work surface and rouge emulsioned walls to balance the aesthetics perfectly. Undercounter cupboards give way for two 600mm wide spaces for the washing machine and a dishwasher or tumble dryer, and there's a beautiful free standing Rangemaster style 7 burner gas and electric oven, complete with four doors on the front to various cooking zones - perfect for preparing meals for larger gatherings. The double cupboard between the two doors in and out of the room holds the semi-recently fitted ATAG boiler, which came with a 10 year warranty from new.

Sun Room
4.34m x 2.2m - 14'3" x 7'3"
Occupying a space that's pretty much the full depth of the kitchen, this fabulous added room offers a range of potential uses. Just imagine - wicker chairs sat either side of the window, with a small glass topped coffee table in the middle, a fully stocked bookshelf on the far side, the kitchen adjacent and the downstairs WC right there by the door to the garden. Open the windows to the front and door to the side for a gentle breeze, and you're set for a Sunday afternoon. We're struggling to find reasons why you'd need or want to leave this beautiful little reading nook!

WC
1.38m x 1.17m - 4'6" x 3'10"
Sitting within the sun room, the WC is conveniently located just by the rear door to the garden, making it easily accessible for yourself or guests when entertaining and relaxing outdoors. A comfortable sized room with an obscured glass window to the rear, finished with a timeless styled white gloss tile to the bottom 2/3rds of the wall, a warming terracotta coloured emulsion to the top third, and includes a WC set within a vanity unit with small countertop and cupboard, corner wash basin and radiator.

Landing
Ascending the spiral staircase we end up in a large and well lit landing area, with doors that lead off to both bedrooms and the large family bathroom.

Bedroom
5.27m x 3.33m - 17'3" x 10'11"
By a very small amount, the larger of the two bedrooms is located at the rear of the home, with a wonderfully large window that overlooks the garden and beyond, with views that reach across the South Forty Foot waterway. Light emulsioned walls with natural wood coloured integrated storage / wardrobes bring a contemporary, clean and bright finish to this comfortable and relaxing bedroom. Angled ceilings follow the contour of the room in this dormer style property, but high ceilings and an above average overall size means that these sloped ceilings don't force you to compromise on space, they add the opportunity for further integrated storage solutions and offer a sleek, modern aesthetic.

Bedroom
5.09m x 3.36m - 16'8" x 11'0"
The front aspect bedroom is almost identical in style and layout, mirroring the previous room. A large window overlooks the front, with uninterrupted views of the Boston Stump to the north east, where it stands approximately 1.3km away. A large triple integrated wardrobe is finished in the same natural wood coloured slatted doors, with two cabinets occupying the space below the small part of sloped ceiling. Across the other side of the room is the other portion of sloped ceiling, with plenty of space within this area for a dressing table or further storage.

Family Bathroom
3.59m x 3.52m - 11'9" x 11'7"
A spacious four piece suite bathroom, complete with double sliding doored shower cubicle set into a recess, with a large cupboard next to it, and tall chrome heated towel rail - featuring a summer heating kit that can be independently switched on electrically, to keep your towels fluffy and warm, even when the main heating system is switched off. The other side of the room has a broad vanity unit with counter top, a large fitted mirror above, and in-built floating style WC and wash basin. Beside the rear facing window is an extra large bath tub with pump assisted taps, meaning this huge bath is filled in no time ready for your to sink into and relax. The room is predominantly tiled, giving way to emulsioned walls in white and pastel yellow, bringing a bright and welcoming vibe to this luxurious bathroom.

Double Garage
6.17m x 5.41m - 20'3" x 17'9"
The huge brick built double garage has been fitted with a remote powered electric roller shutter door, has power and lighting installed, a personnel door to the side, and solar panels installed to the rear south facing side of the tiled roof.

Garden
Approached by a lengthy driveway with turning space, the rear garden has two lawn areas - the first of which is framed by a patio area, the second is set at the bottom, stretching the full width of the double garage, and is flanked by a large glass-sided potting shed. This L-shaped garden is the perfect spot for relaxing, entertaining, outdoor cooking, and playing with children and pets. Bordered by edging plants and shrubs inside a raised flower bed, set before 6ft fencing at the rear, and a brick wall topped with decorative concrete breeze blocks to one side. The garden is private, not overlooked at the rear and can be made fully secure with the addition of a fence or gate across the driveway if required.
