We have pleasure in offering to the market this attractive double fronted period cottage located at this heart of this highly regarded and well placed village.
Redberry House is a pretty period home with a particularly aesthetically pleasing, stone double fronted facade, beneath a pan tiled roof, behind which lies a versatile level of accommodation lying in the region of 1,500sq.ft. PLUS A SUBSTANTIAL GARAGE / WORKSHOP APPROACHING 750 sqft.
The property offers up to three receptions and four bedrooms, the majority UPVC double glazed, and gas central heating with upgraded boiler. The property is certainly large enough to accommodate families particularly making use of the local schools whether it be in Barrowby itself or the Grammar Schools situated in the nearby market town of Grantham. Alternatively it could appeal to single or professional couples or even those downsizing from larger dwellings looking for an attractive village home.
As well as the accommodation on offer the property occupies a pleasant plot with gated driveway leading onto established gardens. Located within the rear garden is a substantial garage/workshop measuring over 40' in length and offering around 750sq.ft. of floor space which alternatively, subject to consent, could offer further scope to expand the accommodation.
The property has been well maintained over the years and presents as a delightful home with accommodation comprising initial entrance hall leading through into a spacious south westerly facing sitting room and separate dining room that is part open plan to the kitchen with useful utility and ground floor cloakroom off. A rear hallway leads to the useful addition of a study/playroom. To the first floor, leading off a central landing, are four double bedrooms, a bathroom and separate shower room.
