Old Laundry House

A substantial five bedroom family home with extensive gardens in a popular village under four miles from Grantham.


Description

Enjoying a desirable rural setting with far-reaching views in Syston village, this substantial detached family home is thought to date back to the 1800s and previously formed part of the estate of Syston Park Hall, a grand country manor house originally built in 1775 and demolished in 1925. The current house has evolved from what was originally a single storey building used as an estate office and the Laundresses cottage. The house is notable for its delightful walled gardens and mature woodland which adjoin open countryside. Presented to a high standard throughout, premium touches include wood and flagstone flooring with underfloor heating in many of the ground floor rooms, as well as a bespoke kitchen fully fitted with shaker-style cabinets, Belfast sink, central island and AGA electric cooker with induction hob.

Old Laundry House is arranged over two floors with accommodation extending to 4300sqft. The ground floor is entered via a welcoming entrance hall which leads to a dual aspect 23ft reception room with log burner and a high-ceilinged kitchen which is open plan to the dining room and snug which all have underfloor heating. Stylish aluminium-framed large sliding doors extend across an entire wall in the dining room, opening onto the patio and bringing the outside in. The ground floor accommodation is completed by two further reception rooms, convenient boot and utility rooms, plus two WCs. The first floor is arranged around a central galleried landing complete with stunning roof lantern and double doors onto a large balcony with lovely countryside views. There is a modern family bathroom with roll top bath on this floor and five bedrooms of good size, including one with a triple aspect ideal for enjoying the rural views and a principal suite boasting fitted wardrobes and an en suite bathroom with integrated bath, separate walk-in glass shower and twin basins.

The property is set in a generous plot of approximately 1.2 acres and approached via a private gravel driveway with lawns to either side, which leads to a detached double garage and workshop with power. A charmingly landscaped front garden is arranged around a circular flowerbed complete with water feature, whilst the extensive rear garden comprises a neat lawn dotted with trees and a paved patio for al fresco dining, as well as a vegetable patch, greenhouse, ample external storage including a log store
