4 bedroom detached house for sale

The Property

Hicklings is a charming Grade II listed stone-built family home, beautifully positioned within the rural village of Deenethorpe and enjoying far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside. Originally two traditional cottages, the property has been thoughtfully combined to create a substantial and characterful four-bedroom residence offering generous and versatile accommodation.

The house retains a wealth of period charm, including exposed beams and traditional features, while benefiting from a stylish and well-presented interior. Light-filled rooms and wonderful outlooks across the gardens create a warm and welcoming family home, perfectly suited to modern living in an idyllic village setting.

The heart of the home is the spacious Live in kitchen, fitted with a range of wall and base units with granite work surfaces, a Belfast sink and integrated appliances. An oil-fired Aga provides a traditional focal point alongside a separate electric oven. With triple-aspect windows, quarry tiled flooring and exposed beams, the room is filled with natural light and includes a door providing direct access outside.

The sitting room is a particularly generous reception space featuring a log burner with a stone surround and tiled hearth, exposed beams and doors opening into the garden room. The dining room sits centrally within the house and provides a further spacious and versatile reception room, ideal for entertaining, with beautiful flagstone flooring, exposed beams and wooden doors leading into the garden room.

The garden room is a stylish addition enjoying lovely views across the gardens, filled with natural light from a roof lantern and large picture window. With tiled flooring and double doors opening onto the patio terrace, it offers a wonderful space for relaxing and entertaining throughout the year.
Further ground floor accommodation includes a generous utility room with storage and sink, and a cloakroom with WC and wash hand basin.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom is a spacious double enjoying lovely dual-aspect views across the surrounding countryside and benefits from a dressing room and a recently refurbished ensuite shower room.

There are three further well-proportioned bedrooms, all enjoying pleasant outlooks, along with a family bathroom fitted with bath and shower over, wash hand basin and WC.

Outside

Hicklings is approached via a gravel driveway leading to a generous parking area and an integral garage with double wooden doors and internal access to the utility room.

The property sits within attractive enclosed gardens to both the front and rear. The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and features mature trees, hedging and established borders, creating a private and peaceful setting. A patio terrace immediately outside the garden room provides an ideal space for outdoor dining while enjoying views across the countryside.

The front garden is similarly laid to lawn and enclosed by mature hedges.

At the end of the garden is a detached stone outbuilding, currently used as a private home office / gym, with power, lighting and a window providing natural light, alongside additional storage space.
