We first moved to Sleaford 30 years ago and just never wanted to leave. It’s such a friendly, welcoming place, with super neighbours. This part of town is especially peaceful, and it’s been a wonderful place to call home.” “We’ve lived in 2 Hervey Road for nine years. In that time, we’ve completely refurbished and modernised the house. It works brilliantly as a family home. The house is all ready for someone to move straight into, though there’s plenty of scope to add your own personal touches.” “The layout is very flexible. The snug is one of our favourite spaces for a cosy film night in winter or just relaxing with a good book. We use the garden room for entertaining – whether that’s Christmas with family or summer gatherings with friends. The dining room is also huge. You’ll see that we’ve got a 10-seater table, a sofa and other furniture in there but this room could easily be turned into another living area or a home office.” “The annexe is brilliant. It’s fully self-contained – making it ideal for older relatives, teenagers or even as an Airbnb, subject to planning permission. The living area looks out over the garden, which makes it really bright and also private.” “The garden is so easy to maintain and very secure for younger children or pets. We love sitting out on the patio on a summer evening, just relaxing together or chilling out.” “We’re so close to the town centre here – it’s literally a 10-minute walk. Sleaford has everything you need day to day, including supermarkets, high-street shops, a garden centre, doctors and a great leisure centre. There’s a farmers’ market, an annual Christmas market and plenty of places to eat out – from Indian to Greek, traditional pubs and cafes. Further afield, Lincoln is a fantastic city to visit, with lots of independent shops, cafes and restaurants.” “Sleaford has a nice mix of people – families, couples and retirees – and there’s a genuine community feel here. There are lots of lovely places to explore nearby. We often take a stroll to the pub in Silk Willoughby and also regularly visit Belton House, which is a very popular National Trust property.” “The schools were a big factor in why we moved here originally. Our children have been educated locally. There are excellent primaries plus two grammar schools and very good co-educational schools like St George’s.” “Sleaford rail station is less than a 10-minute walk away. From there, you can catch trains to Grantham – with services to London, Peterborough and Nottingham. Living here really does give you the best of both worlds: a lovely market town with a community feel but within easy reach of the city.” “We shall miss living here a great deal. It’s the perfect family home and we’ll take many happy memories with us. We’re staying in Sleaford, though, as it’s such a fantastic place to live.” Key Features • An immaculately presented family home • Six spacious bedrooms • Quiet yet convenient location within easy walking distance of Sleaford town centre • Flexible living spaces • Characterful features such as exposed brickwork and beams • Practical porch area – great for muddy wellies • Generous hallway with solid Oak floor and understairs storage • Large snug – ideal as a family/TV room or home office • Dual-aspect dining room • Expansive country kitchen with extensive cabinetry and room for dining • Appliances include an integrated Bosch dishwasher and a Rangemaster double range cooker* • Terracotta tiled floor • Self-contained annexe with a lounge, kitchen/utility room, bedroom and ensuite • Galleried first-floor landing • Generously sized bedrooms (four king-sized) • Built-in wardrobes in multiple bedrooms • Two bedrooms with en-suites • Contemporary upstairs bathroom/ensuites with heated towel rails and downlights • Neutral décor with a mix of carpeting and hardwood floors • Substantial loft space with scope for conversion (STPP) • Hive smart heating system (with remote controls) • Light-filled garden room leading to the main patio • Landscaped rear garden • Fully enclosed with multiple seating areas • Three sheds and bin storage space • Easy maintenance gravel driveway with mature planting for screening • Off-road parking for 3-4 cars • Exterior security lighting • Dual property access via front and side entrances • Excellent transport links via the A1 and nearby Sleaford rail station • Close to in-demand schools, including grammar schools *for sale by separate negotiation Location Sleaford is a charming market town steeped in character and history – home to a Grade-1 listed church and the remains of a ruined castle.
