5 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

At the very heart of Market Deeping, Elm House is a handsome Grade II listed Georgian home dating from 1790, its architectural integrity and period detailing beautifully preserved. Behind the refined stone façade lies a home of graceful proportions and welcoming flow, where elegance and comfort sit effortlessly side by side.

Enduring Elegance

Set within the town’s conservation area, Elm House opens unexpectedly to a generous, sun-soaked garden of around half an acre, offering a rare sense of privacy and calm. The home has evolved thoughtfully over time, with later additions sitting harmoniously alongside the original structure, while a gated gravel driveway provides private parking for three to four cars.

Warmth and Welcome

Entry is first made through a charming side door with stained glass detailing, leading into an elegant hallway where high ceilings, detailed cornicing and generous skirtings set the tone. To one side of the central hall, the double-aspect drawing room is a particularly special space, rich in original detail. Its unusual fireplace forms a striking focal point, complemented by a restored hand-painted fresco dating to 1790, alongside an exquisite ceiling rose with oak and vine motifs and finely detailed cornicing. Across the hall, the formal dining room occupies the opposite side of this handsome double-fronted house, looking out over Church Street through a sash window. Arched alcoves and a decorative fireplace create an elegant yet relaxed setting for entertaining. Before reaching the kitchen, a further sitting room offers a more intimate retreat, with gently curved walls, an open fireplace with original mantel, decorative mirrored panels and rare etched stained-glass windows featuring

Home Comforts

The kitchen lies at the heart of the home’s family life, warm and welcoming in both feel and function. With underfloor heating, a classic cream range oven and a central island designed for gathering, the space extends naturally into a light-filled dining area, where French doors open onto the terrace and garden. A discreet laundry room sits just off the kitchen, while a study and downstairs guest cloakroom with shower complete the ground floor.

Sweet Dreams

Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite sits quietly off the first-floor landing, generous in scale and flooded with natural light, with a beautifully appointed en suite bathroom featuring a roll-top bathtub and leafy garden views. Two further double bedrooms on this floor are served by a family bathroom, while two additional bedrooms occupy the second floor beneath the eaves.

Entertain and Unwind

Outdoors, a terrace directly outside the kitchen provides an ideal spot for summer dining, before the garden unfolds into a broad sweep of lawn bordered by mature trees. Private, peaceful and surprisingly expansive, it offers space for both relaxed entertaining and family life.
