The rural location is private but not isolated, situated along a quiet country road on the border between North Cambridgeshire and South Lincolnshire, and is within easy reach of a number of towns and villages.

Light, Airy and Spacious Entered under a solid oak-framed porch, the feeling of space is immediate with a light and expansive entrance hall that leads to large reception rooms either side. From each of these you move on through to kitchens so that, if multi-generational living is required, the single-storey southwest wing can be a self-contained annex as it has its own en suite bedroom and study. All the rooms are generous in size with lots of windows and both reception rooms have wood-burning stoves and sliding doors that open onto the garden. The dual aspect family room, with two pairs of patio doors, leads seamlessly into its

KEY FEATURES adjoining kitchen and each room has a vaulted ceiling with exposed roof timbers creating spectacular spaces. On through, and you find a laundry room which has a door to the garden, and the ground floor bedroom with its en suite, a study (which could well be a fifth bedroom) and an extra downstairs cloakroom. Storage has been well considered from inception with an abundance of built-in cupboards, and the downstairs bedroom contains its own walk-in dressing room. Natural finish timber is a feature throughout the house with modern oak internal doors, whilst window frames are low maintenance, double-glazed cream Upvc.

Underfloor Heating and Well Appointed Kitchens The modern kitchens have been fitted to a high specification with integrated appliances such as induction hobs, electric ovens, dishwashers and a fridge freezer. Throughout the downstairs there is underfloor heating which extends to the upstairs bathrooms, all fuelled by an air source heat pump which, although expensive to install, is worth it for its efficiency. At Peartree Cottage the garage roof has a long run of solar panels which provides an income that adds to this low-cost living. Upstairs, the landing leads to three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The double aspect master has an en suite and a sizeable built-in wardrobe.

OUTSIDE

Ideal as an Equestrian Property Double metal gates open into an expansive, enclosed, gravelled drive that will take up to ten parked cars, at the front of the L-shaped property where the pretty two-storey section of the house has a slate mansard roof containing three dormer windows, and below, a charming, oak-framed entrance porch. Behind the house a stretch of garaging incorporates a single garage, an oak-framed car port and a triple garage undivided inside but with windows and electric roller doors, that has been used as an impressive workshop with a log-burner at one end. This building would convert perfectly into stabling should this be a requirement. There is also a timber shed that serves as a log-store, and at the far end, a greenhouse, beyond which are some raised veg beds. The property has its own Sewage Treatment Plant (that has only required emptying twice in the last ten years!), lots of exterior lighting and a burglar alarm. There are two smaller outbuildings in the back part of the garden, one being 20ft x 10ft and the other 10ft x 10ft both on a solid concrete base. At the end of the garden there is access to water via a tap if needed for equestrian uses.

Business or Pleasure The vast, sunny garden with a couple of majestic willows, and further mature trees along one side, opens out before you: beautifully maintained grass featuring about a dozen fruit trees – apple, pear,

apricot and damson giving the chance to make wonderful jams! The entire four acres is enclosed with wire stock-fencing and virtually all with post and rail too, so completely dog- proof, and perfect for horses or any other livestock. A mown path encompasses the perimeter for exercising whether for a walk or a run! Paved terracing has been laid at the back of the house which is ideal for alfresco dining or entertaining in summer with its southern aspect and so many patio doors connecting to the outside. For those feeling creative, here you have the ideal opportunity to create the garden of your dreams, and still have enough land for grazing if desired. The outbuildings too offer plenty of scope as an office for working from home, running a business, or for converting into a separate annex for a family member, or for rental (subject to planning). The property is Freehold.
