Maple Grove, Waithe Lane, Brigsley, Grimsby

Designed and built for the current owners in 2003, Maple Grove is a beautiful, cherished home set close to the eastern fringe of the delightful village of Brigsley. Standing within grounds of around four and a half acres, principally kept as a meadow and a haven for a diverse variety of wildlife, the property is rather special and viewing is highly recommended.

Principal features of the accommodation include the impressive central Reception Hall from where the staircase with the barley sugar twist spindle balustrade leads to the first floor, a useful Cloakroom and an elegant main Lounge with its classic firesurround and lovely views of the grounds. Glazed double doors link to the Dining Room whilst the Living Kitchen is superb with it's brick feature wall, space for dining and relaxing and a host of quality oak units and built in appliances. There is a sizeable Utility Room and an additional Boot Room/Store and a door cleverly links from the Reception Hall to the Double Garage for convenience.

At first floor level the long gallery Landing incorporates a Study area whilst the Master Bedroom benefits from its own en-suite Bathroom (including a larger than average shower enclosure) and an area designed to accommodate freestanding wardrobes. There are three further double bedrooms, one with a vanity washbasin - ideal for guests. The Family Bathroom features a white suite and there is access from the landing to a 31'6" long loft storage area which, in the Agents opinion could perhaps be developed as further accommodation if required.

As a lifestyle home, the grounds which Maple Grove enjoys are intrinsic to its appeal and wildlife enthusiasts or those with equestrian interests are bound to be impressed. The current owners keep the main area as meadow, cut annually for hay and enhanced by a lovely pond, hedgerow boundaries and a small copse of trees. The grounds have been used for grazing sheep and goats and there is a stable/garden store for utilisation if required.

The house itself is adjoined by a lawned garden and there is a charming paved rear terrace with integral pond and sun canopies above. A particularly notable feature of Maple Grove is the superb timber cabin in the grounds used for home entertaining and leisure purposes and with plenty of space for dining and relaxing. The main property benefits from mains gas central heating, hardwood framed double glazing and a security system including CCTV cameras.

All in all Maple Grove is a very special property with its attractiveness due, in no small part, to the wonderful rural setting it enjoys. The sense of space with the open sky above provides the property with a tranquility and charm which can only be appreciated by a full viewing and arrangements can be made through the Agents on Grimsby 311000.
