VENDORS COMMENTS
"Converted in 2000 this has been the perfect family home for us for the last 10years. Our children went to the local primary and secondary schools and the location allowed easy commuting into London whilst retaining the quiet and tranquillity of rural life. The retention of many period features, considerate family orientated living layout, spacious rooms and a generous outdoor space truly add up to make this a unique family home" "The property has been built with quality in mind, taking over 2 years to convert. Then in 2010 underwent further work where the original garages were incorporated into the wing of the house, offering the possibility of a contained "Granny annexe". Which is used as a separate kids den area leaving the main reception room for us to relax in." "It was the little details that sold it to us, be it retained original Iron works, expansive decorative woodwork, original coppice stones for the beams, the churn ramp in the front garden or the retained original and preserved internal walls. The more you look the more you see. The fact that it is a modern home that allows quality family living whilst retaining the past was for us the perfect blend to raise our family."Freehold and for sale by private treaty.

"The separate large Oak frame garage is my personal space, decorated as a proper man cave, kitted out with expansive storage and work benches, power and lights along with a hard wearing 14mm think PVC tiled floor. Today as a combined workshop, show garage and large upstairs space it has afforded me my passion in car restoration and creating metal sculptures/artwork. However, my wife has always said it would make a perfect home gym." "We are not the green fingered types, yet we appreciate the beauty of the outdoors. The house is surrounded by easy to care for lawns, the main one of which includes a large wildlife pond that plays host to Herons, colourful dragon flies and an abundance of other wildlife. A large patio entertaining area is also a glorious Suntrap, where we finished the day in a Hot tub under a majestic stary night sky free of light pollution." "Being only 10 houses, Howell has a real community feel. Plentiful walks over fields take in local pubs with good food and is well supported with the convenience of a Co-op, Post office, a train station and even a Brewery in the nearby village of Heckington, made famous through its annual hosting of the world's largest village show!"
