For Sale4 Bedroom Detached House in Ryhall£950,000

Set well back from the road behind a large hedge at the front, The Old Coach House is an exceptional four-bedroom, three-bathroom stone cottage that has been thoughtfully reimagined into a stylish, contemporary home. The current owners have undertaken an extensive renovation, transforming the property from its humble origins into a striking modern residence that celebrates light, space, and craftsmanship. Set against a backdrop of rolling countryside, it offers the perfect blend of rural tranquility and modern convenience, just five minutes from the historic market town of Stamford. At the heart of the home lies an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining, and family room – a space designed as much for relaxed living as for entertaining. The Shaker-style kitchen is beautifully appointed with a large central island, illuminated by elegant glass pendant lighting. A cleverly concealed coffee station keeps worktops clear, while the entire room is bathed in natural light from a vast skylight overhead. Expansive sliding glass doors connect the indoor space seamlessly with the patio terrace, creating an effortless flow for summer gatherings. The property also offers two additional flexible living spaces. The sitting room, with its feature wood burner, provides a cosy retreat for relaxing on colder evenings, while the adjoining multi-purpose room offers endless possibilities – as a gym, studio, games room, or even a private cinema. The master suite is a true retreat, complete with a luxurious en-suite bathroom featuring twin sinks and contemporary fittings, with the bedroom opening onto a stunning roof terrace, offering far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside – an ideal spot for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. The remaining bedrooms are all generous doubles, one of which also benefits from an en-suite shower room, while another enjoys direct access to the roof terrace. The family bathroom is spacious and indulgent, with a beautiful freestanding bath as its centrepiece. Attention to detail extends throughout the property, from the underfloor heating that warms every room on the ground floor to the exceptional utility/boot room – a space far removed from the usual “white goods and sinks” setup. This room is as stylish as it is functional, offering ample storage and workspace. Eco-conscious buyers will appreciate the air source heat pump, which provides efficient heating and hot water, keeping energy bills remarkably low for a home of this size. Outside, the predominantly lawned, wrap-around garden is a haven of privacy and calm, with a stone retaining wall crafted from materials reclaimed from the site’s original outbuildings. The patio, complete with a fire pit, has been the setting for countless summer evenings with family and friends. A log store, thoughtfully illuminated under the lean-to, adds yet another practical touch. In front of the house, a gravelled parking area provides space for two to three cars.
