Location

Ropsley is an attractive village within the south Lincolnshire countryside serviced by a weekly post office van, a village hall, Ropsley Church of England Primary School, the Green Man pub, along with a 12-hole golf course on the outskirts of the village. The village sits on the Stamford Endowed Schools bus route, also with services to both Grantham’s boys’ and girls’ grammar schools.

Ropsley lies approximately six miles southeast of Grantham, which provides further facilities including cinema, theatre, superstores, and high street shopping, along with the mainline rail services to London Kings Cross from just over an hour. The towns of Stamford and Peterborough also provide further facilities and there are many excellent leisure facilities locally including sports facilities, good access to equestrian pursuits and plenty of countryside walks from the property. There are golf courses nearby at Stoke Rochford and Belton Park (8 miles), with Belton House, a National Trust property nearby too.

Description

Once two cottages, Yew Tree Cottage was originally constructed in 1888 and has seen much renovation over the years. Boasting a wonderful position within the heart of the village of Ropsley, with far reaching views from the garden.

Comprising four bedrooms, two reception rooms and a family bathroom, this home offers extension or annexe potential from the attached garage and outbuilding.

The ample entrance hall is inviting, providing plenty of in-built storage, and leads through to the generous farmhouse kitchen. With bespoke wooden units, butler sink and integrated dishwasher and cooker, this country kitchen is the hub of the home with plenty of room for a dining table. The rooms enjoy double aspect windows including a large window seat and access to the garden via the back door.

The large sitting room has exposed stone walls, solid wooden floors and is kept cosy with feature log burner and window seat. Shelving on two of the walls provides an excellent reading or study nook. Double glass doors lead through to the second reception room currently serving as a music room but could easily accommodate a formal dining room, playroom, or office with double doors leading through to the garden and patio. The downstairs W.C. is next door along with the separate utility room which leads back through to the kitchen.

Above, the principle bedroom has double aspect views to the rear of the property and boasts a useful dressing area. Bedroom two, currently set up as an office, has plenty of in-built storage, bedroom three and four, both good sized doubles, complete the first floor and are served by the large family bathroom with separate bath and shower.

Outside the driveway provides ample parking and leads to the garage and outside store. The garden is just over a third of an acre and is laid to lawn with mature trees including apple, eucalyptus and, of course, a Yew Tree. The shepherd's hut provides further accommodation outside, suitable for an office space and enjoys far reaching views to surrounding countryside over the stone wall.

The garage has its own log burner and is attached to an outside store, that subject to planning could both be converted to a separate annexe or further accommodation for the home.
