On the ground floor there are no fewer than four reception rooms including the main reception room, which is a very generous 24’2” x 13’4” in size and has an open fire, French doors to the garden and opens into a wonderful conservatory with stunning views over the garden. The other receptions rooms include a lounge, dining room and study. Also, downstairs is a large kitchen/dining/family room with ample cupboard space, worktops and a Rangemaster cooker, making it the perfect place to whip up those culinary creations. Bedroom five/a further lounge, utility and shower rooms are located to the eastern wing of the property and provide even more living space or could be used as an annex.
Upstairs is a light and airy landing which is 25’7” in length, this provides access to four double bedrooms, the Master bedroom being an impressive 21’2” x 11’2” and has multiple built-in cupboards and fitted wardrobes plus an En-suite. There is also a modern fitted family bathroom, so there will never be any queuing for the facilities.
Outside

Set on approximately half an acre, the garden is mainly laid to lawn, woodland and wild garden. There is a stream running through the garden and down along the aptly named Water Lane. The current owner has built a bridge that provides access over the waterway and links the garden areas. A large patio provides the ideal spot to soak up the sunshine, weather permitting. The property abuts open countryside, and the fields adjoining are often home to lambs and horses grazing. A further patio garden to the very rear of the property provides an additional private space.
Parking is aplenty here with two sets of double wooden gates, one set being electric that open into the plot with extensive shingle driveways providing multi vehicular secure spaces.
Location

Woolsthorpe-by-Colsterworth is a hamlet located in the rural countryside in the valley of the River Witham and is best known for Woolsthorpe Manor, a 17th century farmhouse and home of Sir Isaac Newton. The Manor is now managed by the National Trust where you can visit and see a descendant of the famous apple tree, instrumental in Newton's discovery of gravity.
The hamlet lies within walking distance from Colsterworth where there are many great amenities to hand. These include a Church of England Primary School, a Co-Op, a convenience store, a friendly Public House that serves great food, a doctors’ surgery, a mobile Post Office, as well as many community events throughout the year. In recent years, it was also mentioned in The Sunday Times as being one of the best rural villages to live in Britain.
The A1 is within 3 minutes by car for superb road links and is in easy reach of the large market towns of Stamford, Oakham, Grantham, Melton Mowbray and Bourne, where there are excellent schools, shopping, restaurants, and amenities. The surrounding areas also provide a wide range of leisure and recreational opportunities. There is a choice of golf courses within a 15-mile radius, water sports at Rutland Water and other sports clubs in the nearby towns.
There is a regular train service from Grantham to London Kings Cross that takes just over an hour, making this a great location if you need to commute for work or if fancy a day trip to London or to the other UK cities.
