Seller Insights ‘We are only the second owner of Tillbridge Lodge, we purchased the property from the developer / builder who first lived here and the quality of the build and attention to detail is exceptional. The builder returned in 2021 to help us sympathetically extend the house and create the formal dining room. At the same time we also had the rare opportunity to purchase additional garden land which has made a huge difference to the property.’ ‘At the same time as we did the extension we added AC units to the dining room and second floor bedroom. The second floor bedroom have skylights and the AC cools the entire floor making both bedrooms comfortable all year round. Whilst offering nearly 5,000 sq.ft. of accommodation, the house is very energy efficient to run with an EPC rating of B . ‘The house has so much to offer, we love that there is so much space to spend time together as a family and entertain yet there is enough space to work, study and relax.’ ‘Our favourite room is the wonderful kitchen / breakfast room, it really is the heart of the home and we spend a lot of time together in this part of the house. We added a bespoke drinks cabinet with built in fridge which is lots of fun when entertaining and the French doors from the living area lead out onto the terrace area so it’s perfect to spill out onto during the summer evenings and feels like an extension of the house.’ ‘The first floor, one-bedroom annex could be self-contained if needed as it has its own staircase and external access door next to the garage. We currently use it as part of the house as it’s such a lovely, bright space. The living room has a huge floor to ceiling window, the kitchen is modern with exposed brick walls and the bedroom is nearly 20ft with built in wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom so ideal for a family member, guests or potential rental income. ‘The outbuilding in the garden close to the house is currently just used as a store but its an attractive brick building with glazed windows and electricity so would be an ideal home office or studio.’ ‘The terrace to the rear of the house enjoys the sun all day long and the garden is ideal for children with a large lawn, rubber matted play area and the beautiful weeping willow which provides a lovely shady spot to sit under.’ ‘The village of Sturton by Stow is well served and we have convenient access to Lincoln and Gainsborough so it’s a wonderful place to raise a family.’ • Exceptional 7-bedroom family home set in mature grounds of just over 0.4 acres (STS) • Located on the edge of the popular village of Sturton by Stow just 9 miles from Lincoln • Approached via electric gates with a large block paved driveway and integral double garage • Substantial, modern property offering 4,975 sq.ft. of versatile accommodation • Energy efficient property – EPC B • 33ft open plan kitchen / breakfast room with living area & French doors to the terrace • Light filled dining room with porcelain tiles, French doors to the terrace, sky lights and AC • Superb 28 ft lounge with brick, inglenook fireplace with stone hearth and Villager Back Boiler stove • Spacious family room with built in storage & two floor to ceiling windows overlooking the garden • Stunning bespoke, solid wood kitchen units with island and granite & solid oak worktops • Rangemaster cooker with gas hob and tiled splash back • Bosch dishwasher and space for American style fridge freezer • Bespoke drinks cabinet with integrated fridge • Self-contained one-bedroom annex with ensuite shower room & living room to the first floor • Annexe kitchen with breakfast bar, oven and electric hob and space for two extra appliances • Light filled entrance hall with storage and decorative, solid wood staircase • Separate utility with Bosch dishwasher, Bosch oven, Belfast sink and external door • Laundry room with space for two appliances • Ground floor shower room with WC • Separate ground floor study and WC • 4 further bedrooms on first floor, the principal with ensuite shower room and balcony • Recently refurbished first floor family bathroom • 2 further bedrooms to the second floor, one with an en-suite shower room • Both bedrooms on the second floor have skylights, one with an AC unit • Double-glazed uPVC windows and doors throughout • Underfloor heating throughout ground floor • Oak framed storm porch with pointed arch front door • Integral double garage with electric up and over doors • Sunny, mature rear garden with large stone terrace area, lawn and established trees • Versatile outbuilding with large glazed windows and electricity • Recently added covered bbq area with lighting and power supply • Rubber matted children’s play area • Large stone terrace entertaining area to the rear of the property • Generous lawn garden with mature borders, weeping willow tree and young fruit trees • Additional road access to the single garage at the bottom of the garden • Far reaching views across the gardens and countryside beyond Location Set in a peaceful location on the edge of the popular village of Sturton by Stow, Tillbridge Lodge lies equidistant (9 miles or a 10 to 15 minute drive) between the city of Lincoln to the southeast and Gainsborough to the northwest, both providing a wide range of shopping and amenities, and Lincoln with direct train services to London.
