Dovetail Cottage, Coney Garth Lane, Surfleet, Spalding

After standing derelict from 1978 until its purchase 20 years later, a full renovation of Dovetail Cottage was completed in July 2001 The cottage had originally been a two room dwelling (1 up/1 down) with attached barns. During the renovation the property was extended to create further bedrooms and living accommodation. Its name pays homage to the owners love of carpentry and joinery.

The solid wood front door opens up to the entrance hall with doors arranged off to the four reception rooms, including a large lounge, formal dining room and an adjacent garden room with its vaulted ceiling and ¾ length windows overlooking the garden. The kitchen has been beautifully designed and fitted with bespoke in-frame solid wood units and has an adjacent boot room/utility room, boiler room and downstairs cloakroom. Completing the downstairs accommodation is the double aspect snug with its vaulted ceiling and multi-fuel burner. The first floor landing has doors arranged off to three double bedrooms and a three piece shower room, with bedroom one being of generous proportions and benefiting from its own dressing room/en-suite.

Externally the property is situated in a semi-rural location, having a wrap-around garden which is predominately laid to lawn with mature trees. A landscaped area to the front has a decking seating area and a raised pond. The property offers a vast amount of off-road parking for numerous vehicles and a detached garage/workshop with power and lighting connected, along with an open fronted barn for storage.

Whilst situated in a semi-rural location the property is only a 5 minute drive to the local Public House & Restaurant, Convenience Shop and Spalding Golf Course, along with road links to the A17 connecting you to Boston, Lincoln, Norfolk and Spalding. The market town of Spalding itself offers a wealth of independent and national retailers.
