Summary

Starkey&Brown is delighted to represent this 1920s Arts and Crafts home, which boasts extensive accommodation over two floors. The home has three well-proportioned bedrooms and spacious living accommodation on the ground floor. Upon entering the home, you are welcomed by a warm and inviting entrance hall. There is a sitting room measuring 13'4" x 12'11" with a log-burner, an impressive lounge, and a dining room with views over the rear garden. The kitchen measures 19'3" x 7'0" and provides ample space for cooking, whilst there are integrated kitchen appliances and space and plumbing for laundry appliances. A further addition to the home is a garden room, which makes for an ideal study/family room and access to a downstairs WC. Rising to the first floor are three spacious bedrooms accessed from a first-floor landing, which is flooded with an abundance of natural light from the front-facing stairway window. The master bedroom measures an impressive 16'6" x 10'9" max. All bedrooms benefit from a modern three-piece family bathroom. The current owners have occupied the property since 1984; before their ownership, the home was extended multiple times to the ground floor, providing additional living space. Typical of the 1900’s development the home comes with a superb plot with an extensive front garden, providing ample driveway parking, access to a garage, and a front lawn enclosed by a mature hedged perimeter. The rear garden is a private retreat which enjoys the sun throughout the day and features a patio area, whilst having a summer house and a garden shed - both having access to power. The Swanpool development of the early 1900s was a pioneering garden suburb project in Lincoln. Designed to provide high-quality housing and being heavily influenced by the garden city movement and remains one of the architecturally significant housing estates in the city. Planned with low-density, with the plan restricting housing to 8-10 houses per acre. With the properties designed with an arts and crafts style, with features of the homes including steep-gable roofs, wide gardens, and open plan spaces. Whilst the development wasn't fully completed, the home has kept it's desirability over the past one hundred years and provides a fantastic location full of local amenities. These local amenities include schooling at primary and secondary levels, a short walking distance to Hartsholme Country Park, quick access to the A46, and a nearby retail outlet in Tritton Road. The Swanpool estate is now classed as a conservation area, but it still provides essential public services such as a bus route into Lincoln city centre, which can be taken every 20 minutes.
