Tillbridge Road, Sturton By Stow, LN1 2BP

A well-known period home within the village of Sturton by Stow and a property of particular local interest, this substantial detached house has been comprehensively renovated to combine the character, proportions and presence of an older building with the quality, comfort and efficiency expected of a modern home.

One of the property's strongest features is the substantial detached outbuilding, which offers excellent flexibility for home working, guest accommodation or multi-generational living.

It currently includes a large garage, separate store, WC, a versatile ground-floor room and a large first-floor room with its own en-suite shower room.

Subject to the necessary permissions and consents, it offers clear potential to create a more comprehensive self-contained annex.

Finished to a high specification throughout, the main house provides the best of both worlds: the individuality and scale of a period property, together with modern heating, insulation, fittings and everyday practicality.

The result is a distinctive older home offering many of the comforts and benefits associated with a much newer property.

Set within approximately 0.5 acre, the house is approached by a long private driveway with gated access and extensive off-road parking.

Newly turfed gardens extend to the front and rear, while some of the upper-floor rooms enjoy views across the surrounding countryside.

The combined accommodation and outbuildings extend to approximately 3,906 sq ft in total, including the main house, garage, store and additional rooms within the detached building.

The main house is arranged over three floors and offers spacious and highly adaptable accommodation.

The ground floor includes an entrance hall, lounge with feature fireplace, adjoining family room and a separate study. At the heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen and dining area.

The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of units, quartz work surfaces, integrated appliances and a large central island with breakfast bar and downdraft induction hob.

The dining area opens into a vaulted garden room with roof lights and double doors overlooking the gardens.

A utility room, separate laundry room, cloakroom/WC and plant room complete the ground floor.

The first floor provides four bedrooms, including two with en-suite shower rooms, together with a family bathroom fitted with a freestanding bath and walk-in shower.

The second floor offers two further double bedrooms and an additional shower room, providing useful accommodation for older children, guests or family members requiring greater independence.

The detached building significantly broadens the way the property could be used.

The ground-floor room would work well as an office, studio, consulting room, beauty room or treatment space, while the first-floor room could provide guest accommodation, a private area for a relative or potential holiday-let use.

The combination of period character, modern specification, extensive family accommodation and genuine annex potential makes this a particularly unusual and versatile home within the village.
