“We have owned the property from new and around 2013 we created an architect-designed extension that is totally seamless and indistinguishable from the original house. It doubled the size of the footprint whilst also forming an imaginative, two storey extension.”
“The house is so spacious with very versatile rooms. For example, the square room adjoining the kitchen, we have used as a gym but the architect deliberately designed it so that it would be easy to connect with the kitchen to be a dining room or maybe a playroom. Another option might be to use it as a bedroom, particularly since the downstairs toilet is directly opposite. The current study might even be a sitting room serving the bedroom, or vice versa. The large room above the garage could be a games room, a library, a chilling out space perhaps for yoga, or a home office. The possibilities are endless!”
“We especially love the vaulted ceiling in the master bedroom and the balcony which has a contemporary vibe with its high, V-shaped gable and glass balustrade. It is the perfect place from 7 in the evening to sit with a glass of bubbles and watch the sun going down!”
“The house is fabulous for entertaining as the kitchen is so large and has 4 eye-level ovens and the doors onto the outdoor living area. We paved the garden to make it the perfect outdoor party space with high impact but low maintenance, installing the pond and planting exotic plants to give a Mediterranean or tropical feel. We also added a barbeque area and outdoor fireplace which is fantastic for keeping everyone warm into the night and everywhere is lit with LED lighting for a great atmosphere and sense of opulence!”
“The solar panels provide a quarterly income as well as sufficient daytime electricity to operate the office and some domestic appliances for free, with another 14 years income remaining on the tariff.”
Location
Saxilby is about 7 miles northeast of the city of Lincoln with the property situated in a quiet residential close on the northeastern edge of the village of Saxilby. Either a 2 minute drive or a 10 minute walk takes you to Saxilby Station served by East Midlands Railway and Northern Trains. Lincoln is reached in 7 minutes, for example, or Retford in 15 minutes, both where you can connect with trains to London, or continue on to Sheffield or Leeds. By car, the centre of Lincoln is about 12 minutes. Here, the city provides everything you would expect including a beautiful cathedral and castle sitting on top of the hill beside the quaint Bailgate area for independent shops, markets, restaurants and cafes with extensive retail outlets further down the hill. Fast direct trains from Lincoln to London take around 2 hours.
The village of Saxilby is a thriving community and has a Co-op, a One Stop, a doctors’ surgery, a vet’s, a hairdresser and beauty salon, several little independent shops, 3 cafes, an ice cream parlour, a fish and chip shop, Chinese and pizza takeaways and two pubs, one serving food. If required, there is a regular bus service direct to supermarkets such as Tesco and Asda, whilst a local David Lloyd tennis facility is a 5 minute drive.
The A1 northbound is about 20 minutes away at Markham Moor, or southbound at Newark about 25 minutes’ drive. To the east, just over half an hour’s drive takes you to the beautiful Lincolnshire Wolds, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with the Lincolnshire coast beyond.
