Moulton

In the highly sought after, charming village of Moulton, about 5 miles east of the pretty market town of Spalding, a very handsome, four bedroom house accompanied by a separate, large two-storey garage built in the Georgian style proudly stand surrounded by beautifully designed and maintained, mature grounds of 1.25 acres. 

The immaculate property is approached down a quiet lane with entrances between brick piers that lead onto a gravelled carriage driveway in front of the house. This is the first time the property has come onto the market. 

Sitting in between the old and the new vicarages, the very generous plot encompasses the equally substantial house which has rooms of fine proportions filled with natural light. With its typically Georgian symmetrical façade, the central panelled front door, with fanlight and leaded portico, opens into an inner porch and on into a spacious carpeted hall immediately imbuing a sense of comfort that continues throughout along with high ceilings and Georgian decorative features such as embellished cornices, ceiling roses and dado rails. Despite the reference to the past, the house appears to have been ahead of its time as, from the start, it has an integrated vacuum system, a heat recovery system and a built-in water softener and filter. The grounds are also well appointed with a good distribution of electric sockets, exterior lighting and water supply. 

An elegant drawing room is dual aspect with pairs of large windows over the front and over the rear garden to the southwest. On the other side of the hall, another large reception room used as a formal dining room overlooks the front. Past the downstairs cloakroom and a rear porch leading to the back door, is the dual aspect kitchen breakfast room where French doors open onto the terrace and the sun pours in from the south, perfect to wander out here on warm summer days and enjoy relaxing and dining outside. A wealth of fitted units line the other end of the room which include integrated appliances such as an eye-level double oven, a fridge, a dishwasher and a gas hob. A sizeable utility room leads off the rear porch which contains more fitted cupboards and worktop, a sink, space for a washing machine and the two gas boilers, one for upstairs and one for down, mounted on the wall.

Upstairs, the feeling of light and space continues with a large, light and airy landing from which all four generous double bedrooms and the family bathroom lead. The principal bedroom is at the back and benefits an en suite shower whilst the family bathroom has a Jacuzzi bath and a separate shower. Excellent storage is in the property: two bedrooms have built in wardrobes, an airing cupboard is on the landing and there is also access via a retractable ladder to a boarded loft.

Not far from the back door is the triple garage block with three automatic roller doors and two pedestrian doors. Stairs rise up to a fabulous area flooded with light through the big windows on either side. At around 33 feet long and 18 feet wide, the space could be used for a multitude of purposes such as a yoga or art studio, a gym, a home office or a combination of things. More storage is offered here with a hatch into a boarded loft running the length of the garage.

The sunny grounds are a delight and a huge asset with sweeping lawns and mature trees, shrubs and perennials in an extremely tranquil setting. Many are evergreen giving structure all year round and in early spring snowdrops and aconites abound, followed by daffodils, then bluebells before the hydrangeas bloom all summer. An enchanting water lily pond fed by a stream lies under the branches of a red Japanese acer and a semi-circular stone seat provides a chance to sit for quiet contemplation.
