Overview

Situated just south of the historic village of Benington, amidst gently rolling countryside, this attractive mid-century residence presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a refined and spacious family home. Set within approximately one acre of beautifully landscaped grounds, the property combines a peaceful, rural lifestyle with excellent connectivity to surrounding towns and transport links, offering the perfect balance between seclusion and convenience.

The home opens into a welcoming entrance hall with useful built-in storage, setting the tone for the well-appointed and neutral interiors throughout. A traditional layout provides three elegant reception rooms, including a study and a formal dining room, both enhanced by charming bay windows. The generous sitting room features a characterful stone fireplace and French doors that open directly onto the garden terrace. At the heart of the home, lies a superb open-plan kitchen, breakfast and family room – designed for modern living and effortless entertaining. Shaker-style cabinetry is complemented by granite worktops. There is also a central island, ideal for casual dining. An Aga and a range of integrated appliances, including an electric hob and double oven, cater to both everyday cooking and larger gatherings. Bifold doors extend the living space onto the terrace, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow, perfect for al fresco dining and relaxed summer evenings. A boot room, utility room and cloakroom add further practicality.

Upstairs, the principal suite offers a peaceful retreat featuring an en suite bathroom, a dedicated dressing area, and an adjoining larger dressing room with fitted wardrobes, which could also be utilised as a fifth bedroom if required. Three additional double bedrooms – two with en suite facilities – alongside a stylish family bathroom, complete the accommodation.
