DESCRIPTION A rare opportunity to purchase a substantial detached family home occupying an impressive plot of approximately 1.08 acres (STS), positioned within easy walking distance of the centre of Market Rasen.
The property is approached by a long private driveway which opens onto a substantial gravelled parking and turning area, with the driveway continuing around the front of the house. The extensive grounds are a real feature of The Chestnuts and have been arranged to provide different areas for family life, including open lawns for play, established gardens, entertaining areas and more natural, mature sections with a variety of trees and shrubs.
The house itself provides generous and flexible accommodation ideally suited to family living. On the ground floor there are three reception rooms, a separate study and a conservatory, together with a large kitchen and dining area, utility room and cloakroom/WC.
The kitchen has been renovated and is fitted with a range of units, quartz work surfaces and integrated appliances, while a wood-burning stove adds further character to the room. The main living room also benefits from a log-burning stove and opens through French doors into the conservatory and onto the garden.
To the first floor is a spacious landing providing access to four double bedrooms. Bedrooms one and two both benefit from en-suite facilities, while the remaining bedrooms are served by the main family bathroom.
Outside, in addition to the extensive gardens, there is a large detached double garage with an electric roller door, power and lighting.
The overall size of the site also provides potential for future development, subject to the necessary planning permissions. The owner has advised that planning permission has previously been granted for an additional dwelling within the grounds, and purchasers may wish to explore whether a similar proposal could be revisited. Any future development would be entirely subject to planning and all necessary consents.
The Chestnuts combines the scale and privacy of a large plot with the convenience of being close to the centre of Market Rasen, making it a particularly unusual family home with further long-term potential.
