5 bed detached house for sale

Manor Farm Barn, Gunnerby Road, Hatcliffe, Grimsby DN37

A substantial and characterful family home in a glorious rural setting with five bedrooms, equestrian facilities, private parking and lovely gardens.

Description
An exceptional detached family home in a generous rural plot surrounded by open countryside. The original building dates back to the 1800s, while a barn conversion in 1999 significantly expanded the living space. Much of the original character has been retained, with exposed timber beams and brickwork, solid wood doors and window frames, vaulted ceilings, flagstone flooring and striking inglenook fireplaces in the receptions, which is balanced out by the appealingly neutral modern décor throughout. The property is ideally set up for both family living and entertaining, and also has a great deal of potential thanks to its flexible layout which could easily be reconfigured to create an annexe suitable for either multi-generational living or holiday rental (subject to obtaining necessary consents).

The house is exceptionally spacious, extending to approximately 5,130 sq ft across three floors. The ground floor is accessed via a welcoming entrance hallway that leads through to two large sitting rooms, both with log burners and one with direct access to the garden, a fully fitted triple aspect country-style kitchen complete with an Aga, pantry and doors on to the south-facing patio, a separate utility room and a WC. There is additional ground floor access via a side door leading to another wide hallway and a study. An elegant staircase leads to a galleried first floor landing, which opens on to a spacious principal bedroom with dressing room and en suite bathroom, two further bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and a family bathroom. Two further bedrooms can be found on the second floor, in addition to a shower room and handy storage area.

This secluded property is set on a quiet country road on the outskirts of Hatcliffe village and is accessed via a sweeping gravel driveway, with additional parking in a six bay covered car port. The plot is surrounded by mature trees, including established willow and walnut trees, offering an excellent degree of privacy. The grounds comprise a central courtyard garden, a south-facing patio ideal for al fresco dining, a vegetable patch, extensive stabling and outbuildings that could fulfil any number of functions.

Location
The property enjoys a stunning rural position outside the small village of Hatcliffe which is located on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds, Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village has a parish church, while there are everyday amenities in the larger neighbouring village of Waltham, including local shops, pubs and a variety of restaurants and cafés. Grimsby and Cleethorpes are both within approx. 11 miles of the property, offering extensive shopping, supermarkets and leisure facilities, as well as the attractions at Cleethorpes Beach. Primary schooling is available in the area at Waltham Leas Primary Academy and various other villages in the surrounding area, while secondary schooling is available at the Tollbar Academy in New Waltham.

The area is well connected by road, with the A18, A16 and A46 providing excellent connections to the region's main towns and cities. There are also mainline stations available at Grimsby and Cleethorpes.
