About
For many prospective buyers of Oakwell House it will be easy to forget that you are actually on the close outskirts of the town, given that the property benefits from such a generous plot, extending to just under ¾ acre.
The current owners have clearly taken great pleasure in cultivating the grounds over the years, making full use of the space to create the varied and idyllic gardens seen today.
The landscaped rear garden features an attractive outdoor dining area adjoining the garden room, while a thoughtful combination of flower beds, winding pathways and seating areas-sheltered by mature trees-creates a wonderfully private and tranquil setting.
Beyond the main garden lies a further secluded lawn/paddock, formerly used as a tennis court, along with a range of substantial outbuildings.
In addition to the two garages and workshop which are integral to the property, these outbuildings include a further garage, store and a 9m x 6m barn.
These are located off the second of the two entrances which also handily serves the lawn/paddock area.
The house itself is equally impressive in scale, set well back from the road and framed by mature trees that provide both privacy and shade.
A carriage driveway offers ample and easily accessible parking. Inside, the accommodation is both spacious and light-filled, with bay windows and a number of double-aspect rooms.
There are no fewer than five reception rooms, alongside an updated kitchen, offering excellent flexibility for entertaining, working from home and family life.
To the first floor are four well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms, ideally suited to a larger or extended family.
To summarise, the property offers a combination of virtues that will suit a buyer looking to enjoy their own space and interests yet still preferring to have the convenience of the many facilities and amenities available in the market town of Boston.
