5 bedroom character propertyManor Lane, Waddington, Lincoln, LN5 9QD

An impressive and substantial five bedroom Georgian family home, occupying a generous and private position within the highly regarded village of Waddington. Extending to over 4,000 sq ft, Hilltop House offers an impressive amount of accommodation, combining the character and proportions of a period home with the flexibility and space required for modern family life. The current owners have carried out a considerable programme of improvements and alterations, with a clear emphasis on enhancing the way the house works for everyday life whilst retaining and respecting the character of the original property. The result is a home which feels both practical and individual, with generous rooms, high levels of versatility and a number of particularly impressive living spaces. One of the most significant changes has been the conversion of one of the former garages to create a large and welcoming entrance area, incorporating useful storage and a full walk-in cloakroom. This has also allowed the gardens to be reworked to provide greater privacy, making a real difference to both the approach and the enjoyment of the outside space. At the heart of the house is the large open-plan kitchen, living and family room, creating a superb central hub for the home. Generously proportioned and designed around modern family living, the room provides plenty of space for everyday life, relaxing and entertaining, and now features a fireplace with log burner which adds warmth and character to what is undoubtedly one of the property's standout spaces. Directly off this is a separate dining room, providing the perfect setting for more formal occasions, dinner parties or gathering friends and family. The additional reception spaces mean there is no shortage of options when different members of the household want their own space. The formal living room provides another particularly attractive reception space, complete with a feature fireplace, while the adjoining study makes an excellent home-working space. A further snug, also benefiting from its own fireplace, offers a more intimate and relaxed room — ideal for settling down with a book, watching television or simply enjoying some quieter time away from the main living areas. The laundry room provides a dedicated space for washing, drying and the everyday household jobs that can otherwise encroach on the main living areas. The accommodation continues with five well-proportioned bedrooms, including two with ensuite facilities, together with a family bathroom. All of the bedrooms are of a good size and the layout offers considerable flexibility for families, guests, hobbies or working from home. The tanked cellar, rather than simply being used for storage, has been put to particularly good use and is currently arranged as a cinema room, adding another unusual and versatile dimension to the house. In total, the accommodation includes a main entrance hall, substantial entrance/storage area with full walk-in cloakroom, downstairs WC, tanked cellar/cinema room, formal living room, study, conservatory, snug, large open-plan kitchen/living/family room, separate dining room, and laundry room, five bedrooms, dressing room two En-suites and a family bathroom.
