Sibsey Road, Boston, PE21 9QY

Gunby House on Sibsey Road stands way back from the road behind established hedging and mature trees and whilst the approach certainly alludes to something special, if you weren't specifically looking you could also be forgiven for missing it completely. Even in the autumn and winter months the mature grounds provide a great deal of privacy to the extent that you can hardly believe that the property is in town and not in a country village.

On the outskirts of the historic market town of Boston, the property is conveniently located for Pilgrim Hospital which is only a short walk away, as well as Boston High School and two popular Primary Schools. I have to also mention that in the summer time, fields across the road produce the most amazing supply of pick your own strawberries to go with the giant peaches that the seller reliably informs me grow on their own trees in the garden.

Dating back to 1929 Gunby House is a charming family home, ideal for a growing or multi-generational family. The house has retained many character features such as the original servant's bells and exposed floorboards, viewers will be reassured to know that the current owners have recently completed a substantial refurbishment of the property. This includes a stunning new kitchen extension with 5m bi-fold doors & roof lantern and a garage conversion to add a sixth bedroom with shower room, ideal for buyers looking for an annex. Whilst the full list of improvements may be too numerous to mention here, they also include the property having been rewired, new windows, new bathroom suites, carpets, Wood-burning stoves, a luxury kitchen with Quartz work surfaces, Neff Self-cleaning ovens, Quooker tap... Suffice to say that it feels as if no expense has been spared in the scheme of work.

The plot itself is no less a highlight, perfectly befitting of the property and extending to over an acre, including ample parking and turning space, beautiful established gardens including a lovely decking area with hot-tub canopy, a block-built former stable and a substantial timber studio and garage.
