Beautifully restored, thoughtfully designed and impeccably presented, 10 Church Street represents a rare opportunity to acquire a versatile period home in one of Lincolnshire's most sought-after village settings Seller's Insight "We saw the opportunity in 10 Church Street to restore and reconfigure a significant period home in the heart of Harlaxton.

We wanted to create a practical family house whilst retaining its original character and the generous plot also offered enormous potential to redesign the gardens and make better use of the outside space.

Over the past four years, the property has undergone a comprehensive programme of sympathetic renovation and reconfiguration.

We removed two dated rear extensions and replaced with a carefully designed extension, creating the light-filled kitchen and family room that now forms the heart of the home.

It is a wonderfully versatile open-plan space that works well for both family life and entertaining and effortlessly connects the house to the gardens.

It was important to us to keep the individuality of the original house while improving its overall flow.

We love the contrast between the contemporary kitchen and family space and the traditional reception rooms, each of which has its own distinct character.

Original features, including exposed beams, stone fireplaces and traditional joinery, have been carefully retained throughout.

The renovation has extended throughout the house, with a new kitchen, new bathrooms and complete redecoration, alongside a range of sympathetic improvements.

Particular care was taken with the restoration of the original stonework, including the removal of cement pointing which we replaced with traditional lime mortar.

The gardens have been completely transformed. Previously rough ground has been landscaped to create different levels and places to sit and enjoy the gardens throughout the day.

Beyond the formal gardens, a pathway leads to what we call the 'secret garden', where you will find a traditional garden store, greenhouse and vegetable beds.

There is planning permission to convert part of the detached garage into a home office with its own entrance door, staircase and shower room, offering future owners the opportunity to put their own mark on the property.
