3 bed detached house for sale

Boston Road, Boston PE22

Blacksmiths Cottage is a beautiful Grade 2 Listed property, conveniently located on the main road between the historic market town of Boston and the attractive semi-rural village of Sibsey. Any new purchaser will enjoy the benefits of an immaculately presented and utterly charming property, without having the usual worries and maintenance associated with period properties.

Blacksmiths Cottage has a generous driveway with ample parking and turning space for several vehicles as well as an electrified attractive oak framed car-port and log store with clay pantile roof. The garden is secluded and totally enclosed with no near neighbours; boasting open views over the neighbouring countryside from all aspects.

Internally, the combination of character features such as sash windows, oak latch doors, exposed brickwork and a wood-burner are complimented by modern fixtures and fittings: Underfloor heating, a superb kitchen, japanese toilet seat and modern décor throughout.

Externally, Blacksmiths Cottage is accessed via double gates and pollinator-friendly wildflower borders over an extensive gravel driveway which leads up to the detached open-ended double garage and attached log store. To the front there are six productive raised vegetable beds as well as a chicken coop. In total, the cottage sits in the centre of approximately 0.2 acres.

A curved brick wall with a hand gate securely separates the courtyard and garden from the driveway. The outside space enjoys areas of lawn with fruit trees, a patio, a decking area as well as a greenhouse. The garden is surrounded by established hedging to the front, sides and rear reinforced with chicken wire to ensure it is safe for small pets and children.

Whilst enjoying all the benefits of the countryside it doesn't feel too cut off from the world as the cottage also has full fiberoptic internet installed to the house as well as current planning permission for solar panels for those seeking a more self-sufficient lifestyle.
