2 bed semi-detached house for sale

Canister Lane, Frithville, Boston, Lincolnshire PE22

Offered with No Onward Chain - Owl Cottage is a quaint property set in the open countryside, with way more to it than meets the eye... An extended home offers comfortable living, whilst the vast plot now has a workshop and serviced outbuilding, suitable for a wide range of needs. With notable improvements and updates made throughout, Owl Cottage really is something quite special...

This beautiful cottage was acquired by our client approximately 3 years ago, and since their acquisition have worked almost tirelessly on making it something quite remarkable. The main home has seen vast improvements - including a new Air Source Heat Pump system, new Solar Panels, a substantial extension to the Entrance Porch to now create a beautiful sun room / garden room, and re-decoration throughout. Outside, the rear brick outbuilding has been completely transformed into a secondary utility / wash room, and also has dog grooming and washing facilities. In addition to this, the main stretch of lawn is now mostly overlooked by a fantastic 60ft long workshop. Separated into three zones inside, there's a chillout / mancave room at the far end, a smaller work-room at the other, with a substantial workshop area in the middle. Complete with ribbon windows to the road side for a good balance of natural light - double doors that open to the garden in the centre, a huge array of professionally fitted power sockets, as well as more than enough lights dotted all the way down to ensure great visibility whilst working.

Located approximately 6 miles from Boston between Gipsey Bridge and Frithville - Owl Cottage enjoys enviable far reaching views to the front and rear across some beautiful rural Lincolnshire countryside. The southerly orientated plot absorbs full sunshine all day, and is a hot-spot for admiring an array of wildlife and birds across the fields. Being located to the north of Boston by a fair stretch, villages such as Sibsey, Stickney, Coningsby and Horncastle are all a relatively short commute, as well as being within only a few minutes drive of Gipsey Bridge Academy School & Boston Golf Club.

Owl Cottage is suited to those who're looking for the peace and quiet of rural Lincolnshire, whilst still keeping a foot in the door as far as local amenities are concerned. Small families looking for that bit of extra space outside are going to love this, as well as those who are wanting a charming retreat that retains the character of an old cottage, whilst offering the bells and whistles of modern and convenient living.

The property is serviced with mains water and electricity, Septic Tank for waste, and is supported by a modern Air Source Heat Pump and Solar Panels for the central heating and hot water. Council Tax Band rated A, and a new EPC to evaluate the modernised features is awaited and will be made available asap.

Garden Room

We kick things off with the newly extended entrance area, and to maintain the name entrance, or porch, would be a serious under-statement. We're now treated to a lovely and bright reception room, that's more suited to being known as a garden room due to its multi-aspect windows and double doors that step into the rear patio area. A place to appreciate the far reaching views to the south, as well as the substantial lawn area. Currently used as a social space as well as a work-from-home office zone, a doorway leads into the kitchen, with further doors to the front and rear areas of the property.

Kitchen

4.8m x 2.69m - 15'9” x 8'10”
Accessible via the Garden Room and the Lounge, the Kitchen is bright, spacious, with a timeless aesthetic. A large window to the rear aspect pulls a wonderful amount of natural light into the room, whilst the grey splash-back tiles and work surface contrast perfectly against the white cupboard doors. A broad opening leads into a separate dining room that currently has a breakfast bar fitted with stools under, and goes onwards to the downstairs WC.

WC

Tucked out the way at the far end of the dining / breakfast area, the WC does exactly what it says on the tin - there's a loo, and a window to the side/rear aspect.

Lounge

4.22m x 3.71m - 13'10” x 12'2”
The lounge is located to the front of the home and has a large window that overlooks the open fields. A fireplace sits central to the room, with a timber mantel and decorative art deco style tiling around. A spacious area where the family can settle in the evenings - the phrase up the wood hill to bed is perfect here, as the stairway to the first floor with the two bedrooms and family bathroom is set in the corner of the room, above the original entrance hall into the cottage.

Bedroom 1

4.27m x 3.71m - 14'0” x 12'2”
And up the wooden hill to Bedfordshire we go! The master bedroom is generously sized, occupying more or less the entire front half of the upstairs. Those beautiful views across miles of fields are exceptional from the front aspect window here, and being north facing means that whilst it's a lovely vista during the day, there's no direct sunlight making the room too bright or warm.

Bedroom 2

2.54m x 2.49m - 8'4” x 8'2”
Bedroom 2 is at the rear aspect of the property, with a west facing window that enjoys wonderful sunsets across the far reaching field views.

Shower Room

2.59m x 2.51m - 8'6” x 8'3”
The family bathroom (technically shower room) is quite a generous size - matching the dimensions of the second bedroom. The room has been recently modernised and refurbished with a new corner shower unit, WC, wash basin and radiator, with fresh tiling and décor finishing in a clean and crisp white, with a contrasting light grey emulsion and herringbone pattern tile effect flooring.

Outbuilding

This outbuilding area has been completely refurbished into a separate utility / shower room, complete with work surfacing, a sink and drainer, power and lighting, and a large walled shower bay that's been used up until recently as a dog washing and grooming area.

Workshop

18.29m x 3.66m - 60'0” x 12'0”
At approximately 60ft x 12ft across its total length and depth, this fantastic workshop building has been professionally fitted out with more lighting and power points that you could ever wish for - as countless double sockets are positioned at regular intervals within trunking along the wall that sits below ribbon windows to the front road aspect, as well as spot and strip lights in the ceiling. There are also three windows that look into the garden, as well as two sets of double doors that lead off the main work space, as well as the chillout room at the far end. An additional door to the side aspect is off the smaller workroom closest to the main residence. The building is lit inside and out, and has its own fuse board to remain separate from the house.

Garden

The property is fronted by a good sized driveway space, comfortably accommodating three vehicles. The side-positioned garden is fully enclosed, and has been made completely dog-proofed with some trial and error fencing, including buried wire that prevents digging-dogs from escaping underneath. A veg patch and poly-tunnel are in place for those who like to grown and tend to their own produce, there's a fantastic sized lawn for people and pets of all ages and sizes to enjoy, with a patio area at the rear, as well as a lean-to on the back of the outbuilding, and a separate free-standing shed for additional outdoor storage solutions. All in all, a family and pet friendly area that's large enough to cater for entertainment, or to simply spread out and enjoy yourself.
