Victoria House, 1 Skerry Lane

** INDIVIDUAL DETACHED HOUSE ** 4 BEDROOMS, 2 BATHROOMS ** ENSUITE & MAIN BATHROOM ** CONSIDERABLE PARKING & DOUBLE GARAGE ** RUN OF OUTBUILDINGS/STABLES ** APPROX 2.10 ACRES ** HEART OF VILLAGE LOCATION **

We have pleasure in offering to the market this really interesting detached individual home which offers an excellent level of accommodation approaching 1800 sq ft. The property occupies a deceptive corner plot with enclosed courtyard area to the rear providing a considerable level of off road parking leading to an attached double garage and a run of period outbuildings/stables.

The property benefits from a formal garden located to the rear of the stable block which in turn leads out onto two level grass paddocks which in total extend to approximately 2.10 acres, with the total site including house and gardens extending to approximately 2.35 acres.

The property itself offers four bedrooms, ensuite and main bathroom and to the ground floor leading off the entrance hall are two receptions, dining kitchen, utility and cloakroom.

The property appears to have been reasonably well maintained over the years but it is fair to say is probably ready for a general programme of updating based on today's requirements, but would provide an excellent blank canvas for those looking to place their own mark on a home.

The property is located at the heart of this highly regarded Vale village and viewing comes highly recommended to appreciate both the location and accommodation on offer.

There is a public house/restaurant in Muston and further facilities are available in the adjacent village of Bottesford including primary and secondary schools, several public houses and restaurants, railway station with links to Nottingham and Grantham from where there is a fast rail link to London's Kings Cross in just over an hour and there is a daily bus service to the Grammar Schools in Grantham. The A52, A46 and A1 are also close by providing excellent road access. There are local walks along the Grantham canal and pretty Vale of Belvoir countryside which links to nearby picturesque villages, many of which offer highly regarded public houses and restaurants. The village is a stone's throw away from Belvoir Castle which holds events and shows throughout the year. Muston also boasts 'Muston Meadows' which is understood to be one of the finest lowland meadows in England, extending to approximately 41 hectares offering a haven for local wildlife and plants.
