Pippin Gardens, Grantham NG31

Guide price £575,000 to £600,000 - please quote TR0236 – A video tour with commentary, 360 degree virtual tour, and A key facts for buyers report is available on this listing – Built by highly regarded local developer Ablehomes in 2015, this substantial detached family home is one of only two examples of the impressive Orchard house type constructed at Pippin Gardens, an exclusive development of just 13 detached homes. Owned from new by the current owners and impeccably maintained throughout, the property occupies a tucked-away position at the end of a particularly quiet cul-de-sac, while remaining within easy reach of Grantham’s schooling, amenities, Wyndham Park and excellent transport links.

Offering approximately 2,165 sq ft of beautifully presented accommodation over two floors, one of the immediate features is the striking floor-to-ceiling glazed frontage, an original architectural feature of the Orchard design which gives the property considerable contemporary kerb appeal while flooding both the reception hall and galleried first-floor landing with natural light. The south-facing rear aspect further contributes to what is an exceptionally bright and welcoming home.

The ground floor provides an excellent balance of family and entertaining space, including a dual-aspect lounge, dedicated home office, cloakroom, utility and an impressive family kitchen with quality integrated appliances, extensive work surfaces, generous dining space and bi-fold doors opening directly onto the garden. An adjoining reception room, originally designed as a formal dining room, is currently enjoyed as a snug but could work equally well for either purpose.

Upstairs are four double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom forming an impressive suite with a vaulted ceiling, a separate dressing room with extensive fitted wardrobes and a four-piece en-suite. Bedroom two also benefits from fitted wardrobes and its own four-piece en-suite, while bedrooms three and four have built-in storage and share a spacious four-piece family bathroom.

Outside, a block-paved driveway leads to the spacious double garage, while the private south-facing rear garden features a full-width sun terrace and pergola-covered seating area. Combining the individuality and proportions of the rarely available Orchard design with a peaceful position within this small Ablehomes development, the property is offered to the market with no onward chain.
