Description

Stoneleigh is situated along a quiet, private lane in a charming village close to Market Rasen, and is a highly individual home built in 2016 to an exacting specification. The house is constructed from attractive honey-coloured stone and is built in the Neo-Georgian style, with a pillared front doorway, modern sash windows, decorative keystones and pleasingly symmetrical front elevations. Internally the house is immaculately presented to an exceptional standard, with an array of premium features ranging from an integrated SONOS sound system to underfloor heating and Cat 5 cabling. Highlights include the stylish kitchen, featuring Palmers cabinetry and Corian work surfaces.

The substantial home has been thoughtfully laid out to provide ample space for entertaining as well as the demands of busy family life, with a choice of reception rooms for formal occasions or relaxing time with family. There is a large kitchen which serves as the heart of the home and generously proportioned bedrooms so each member of the family has their own private space. The ground floor has two reception rooms either side of the large entrance hall: a triple aspect living room with wood-burning stove and a separate TV room/snug which is currently used as a playroom. The open plan kitchen is fantastically light and spacious, with room for a dining table for family meals, and leading to a further formal dining room at the rear. There’s an adjoining utility with space for laundry machines and side access to the driveway, plus a cloakroom with WC. Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a wonderfully relaxing space, benefitting from its own private balcony, a dressing room with Sharps wardrobes and a magnificent en suite bath and shower room. There is a further en suite bedroom, two large double bedrooms and a family bath/shower room.

The imposing front gates are electronically operated and swing open to a sizeable gravel driveway between the house and a detached garage block with a double garage, separate garage/workshop and a log store. The gravel runs around the front and sides of the house with a large paved terrace to the rear, providing a variety of places for garden furniture. The formal part of the garden is lawned, with mature hedges around the boundary and beautifully stocked flowerbeds with a selection of colourful and textural shrubs and bedding plants.
