DESCRIPTION

Lime Farm is a substantial period country property located in the highly sought after village of Harringworth, in the heart of the Welland Valley. The property is set in the grounds of approximately 5.0 acres in total, with the estate comprising an imposing Grade II listed four bedroom stone farmhouse, two self contained cottages, a separate office building, workshop, double garage, large unconverted stone barn, delightful courtyard garden, paddocks and woodland.
The property is accessed via two gravelled driveways, with the first driveway providing ample parking for the main house and the second driveway giving access to the double garage and providing additional parking for the cottages and large stone barn.


The main accommodation is an impressive Grade II listed stone farmhouse under a slate roof dating back to around 1661 and enjoying stunning views across the valley towards the village church and local stables. The house has been tastefully and sympathetically restored to a high standard and retains an array of fine character features including stone quoins and mullioned windows, inglenook fireplaces, exposed timberwork and wooden panelled doors. The spacious and beautifully presented accommodation is arranged over the three storeys and in brief comprises:
Ground Floor - Entrance Hall, Sitting Room, Dining Room, Study, Cloakroom, Inner Hallway, Wood Store, Kitchen / Breakfast Room, Sun Room, Utility Room, Rear Porch, Boot Room;
First Floor - three large Bedrooms (one with En suite Bathroom) and Family Bathroom;
Second Floor - a further Bedroom and a large Attic Storeroom.


To the rear of the main house there is an enclosed delightful formally arranged courtyard garden enjoying a high degree of privacy, flanked by two cottages, a barn and stone walling.
Both cottages are self contained and have recently generated a monthly rental income of approximately £500 each. The barn is currently used for storage but could easily be converted into a large three- or four-bedroom detached house with its own access and grounds (subject to relevant planning permission).
Behind the barn are two large paddocks of approximately 1.0 acre, one lawned and bounded by mature hedging and the other planted with a variety of specimen trees. Beyond the paddocks is a woodland area extending to approximately 3.0 acres climbing up the ridgeline, with mown paths winding through the orchard and deciduous coppice, to provide spectacular views over the valley and main property below.
Properties of this caliber and size are extremely rare to come to the market and early viewings are highly recommended.


HARRINGWORTH

Harringworth is a popular village in Northamptonshire and lying on the banks of the River Welland. Within the village there are a number of facilities, including a public house, church, village hall and many social opportunities where everybody can join in. The main facilities are available in the surrounding towns, particularly Uppingham where there is a good range of shops, schools and medical facilities including doctors and dentists.
For commuters Harringworth is ideally positioned, within easy driving distance of a number of centres including Oakham, Uppingham, Stamford, Peterborough, Kettering, Corby and Leicester, and of course close also to the A1 Great North Road and the A14, both of which have accesses on to the motorway system. There is also a mainline station in Kettering for commuters to London with a good service to London St Pancras.
Sporting facilities in the area are many and varied with many good clubs for most ball participating sports. In addition the countryside is most charming with some lovely walks and rides, for those interested in horses, or just spotting wildlife, especially the Red Kite.
