Claxby St. Andrew, Alford LN13

A characterful four-bedroom Georgian manor house on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds with an indoor swimming pool and self-contained two bedroom Coach House.

Description
Claxby Manor House is an attractive detached Georgian residence dating from the 1800s, thoughtfully extended in the mid-1980s and again in 2006 to create a substantial and welcoming family home with excellent living space. Believed to have formerly been a farmhouse, the property offers generously proportioned accommodation extending to over 4,900 sq ft, arranged across two bright and airy floors.

The pretty whitewashed elevations belie a wealth of character features, including original tiled flooring in the hallway and dining room, sash windows, and period fireplaces. The interiors are traditionally appointed in keeping with the character of the home, while far-reaching views extend across the well-established gardens and surrounding farmland. The accommodation includes five reception rooms at ground floor level offering excellent flexibility for both everyday living and formal entertaining. The layout flows naturally, with the option to incorporate The Coach House into the main house if desired.

At the heart of the home lies the kitchen/dining room, a generous open-plan space with dual aspect, fitted with Miele integrated appliances and featuring an aga range cooker in Oxford blue. Additional reception rooms include a spacious sitting room, snug, games room and study, together with a light-filled sun room to the rear opening on to the garden. A utility area with cloakroom links the house to both The Coach House and the indoor swimming pool. The pool is a specialist therapy pool, heated via a heat recovery system and set beneath an impressive vaulted ceiling.

On the first floor, the main house provides four double bedrooms, two with en suite facilities, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom with bath, separate shower and separate WC. Attached to the main house, with internal access yet benefitting from its own front door, The Coach House provides self-contained accommodation, ideally suited to multi-generational living.

Claxby Manor enjoys an idyllic position within a valley, overlooking open countryside. The rural setting offers access to a variety of walking routes, with two Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust nature reserves accessible on foot.

Set within attractive gardens and grounds, the property is approached via a sweeping in-and-out driveway encircling a central lawn. The frontage provides parking, complemented by an attached double garage with electric doors.

To the rear, the gardens enjoy a favourable south-westerly aspect, creating a sheltered sun trap on the patio during the warmer months. Mature planting provides an attractive outdoor setting, with raised vegetable beds, a wildlife pond, greenhouse, and a productive orchard with apple, pear and plum trees.
