Shepards Hill, Thorpe Lane, Tealby, Market Rasen, LN8

An executive family home with landscaped garden and paddock, on the edge of a desirable village.

Description

Situated on the western edge of popular Tealby is Shepard’s Hill, a striking detached Edwardian residence set within just over an acre of land including a paddock. The generously proportioned property has lovely views over the surrounding countryside on all sides and is within reach of a number of excellent footpaths. The layout, which offers about 2500 sq ft of space, lends itself well to multigenerational living, with five good-size bedrooms upstairs and a variety of spacious reception rooms to facilitate big family gatherings and entertaining at home. The house has been subject to a variety of improvements in recent years, including underfloor heating in the bathrooms, a new garage, kitchen and a conversion to create the study and wet room and the addition of a conservatory.

The internal décor is presented in a bright and modern style, with heritage colours and attractive wall coverings reflecting the idyllic semi-rural setting. There are many period features throughout, such as exposed beams, wood floors and original fireplaces, which are complemented by more contemporary additions. The reception hall is a welcoming space leading to the reception rooms, a triple aspect sitting room, formal dining room and family room, all of which interconnect to provide one big entertaining space. The kitchen is a good size and also offers an informal seating area, there’s a study which could double as a play room or snug and a conservatory for enjoying views of the garden. The ground floor is rounded off by a utility room, store, wet room and WC. Upstairs the five bedrooms are light and airy, including a principal bedroom running front to back, with a Juliet balcony looking out over the garden, a dressing room and WC, and there are two spacious bath and shower rooms.

The house is set within grounds of about an acre, including a good size gated driveway with space for several cars, which also has access to a detached double garage and useful outside store. The mature garden to the rear is lawned and features a variety of fruiting trees including Mirabelle plums, apples and cherry trees. The garden also benefits from a large (20ft by 10ft) timber construction summer house, perfect for watching the spectacular sunsets, an ornamental pond, vegetable garden and a large elevated terrace with a built-in barbecue. To the rear there is a paddock which offers excellent potential for further landscaping.
