5 bed detached house for sale

Abbots Crescent, Spalding, Lincolnshire PE11

This is a substantial five bedroom detached family home that offers an impressive amount of space, but more importantly, space that actually works for everyday family life. From the moment you step into the large reception hall, the sense of scale is obvious, with generous rooms, plenty of natural light and a layout that manages to feel both sociable and practical. There are multiple reception spaces, a large family kitchen, dedicated study, utility room, five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a double garage and a beautifully landscaped rear garden.

On the ground floor, the reception hall sets the tone beautifully with its oak flooring and central staircase rising to the galleried landing above. The dining room sits to the front of the house and is large enough for proper family occasions as well as everyday use, while the separate study comes fitted with extensive oak cabinetry and makes an ideal home office. The lounge is a wonderfully inviting square room centred around the log burner, with a glazed door leading through to the sun room beyond. From here, French doors open onto the garden, so the living spaces flow naturally outside in the warmer months. The family kitchen is another real highlight, with masses of storage and worktop space, a central island, range cooker and plenty of room for a full dining table. A separate utility room, cloakroom and walk in coat room keep all the practical side of family life neatly tucked away.

Upstairs, the galleried landing creates a real sense of space and light and leads to five well proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a suite in the truest sense, with a generous sleeping area, separate dressing space, its own ensuite and a sizeable walk in wardrobe. Bedroom two also benefits from a private ensuite, while the remaining three bedrooms are all useful, properly proportioned rooms rather than token box rooms. A large family bathroom with both bath and separate shower completes the first floor and means the house is particularly well equipped for a busy family.

Outside, the rear garden has been created as an extension of the house rather than just an area of lawn. A substantial paved terrace provides several different spaces for dining, barbecues and entertaining, with direct access from the sun room making indoor-outdoor living feel very natural. There are neatly kept lawned areas, mature planting and established borders which provide privacy and colour, while the covered seating area tucked into one corner makes the garden usable even when the weather is less cooperative. To the front, the property benefits from a generous driveway providing lots of off road parking and access to the double garage, which itself offers excellent space for vehicles, bikes, storage and all the usual family extras.

Abbots Crescent is well positioned for family life, with everyday amenities, shops, an excellent butcher and many schools all within easy reach. Monkshouse Primary Academy is particularly close by, while Wygate Park Academy, Spalding Grammar School, Spalding High School and Spalding Academy are also within the wider local area. Spalding town centre provides a good range of shops, cafés, services and leisure facilities, while Springfields Designer Outlet adds more than 50 outlet stores alongside restaurants, gardens and family attractions.

For commuters, Spalding railway station is around a mile away and provides rail connections from the town, while road links via the A16 make surrounding towns readily accessible. Spalding itself sits conveniently for Peterborough, Stamford, Bourne, Boston and the wider South Lincolnshire area, making this a particularly useful base for anyone needing to travel while still wanting the space and community feel of a market town.

Reception Hall

5.01m x 3.08m - 16'5” x 10'1”
An extremely impressive room to step into. With its oak flooring, central returning staircase, and gallery landing pouring in lots of natural light this is a room to linger in as you greet guests, host parties or just come home to each day.

Coat Room

1.59m x 0.8m - 5'3” x 2'7”
A true cloakroom! This walk in coat and shoe room is the thing of dreams for any busy family. Lots of space to hang all of the coats all year round and all of your shoes and bags - never again will you have a messy hall when everyone comes in from school and work!

Dining Room

4.59m x 3.76m - 15'1” x 12'4”
Located at the front of the house with a stunning low level bay window this dining room comfortably fits the whole family for Christmas, birthdays and everyday dining plus still space for the heirloom dresser holding all of the special crockery and glasses.

Study

3.34m x 2.43m - 10'11” x 7'12”
Next we have the study, fitted with high end oak cabinetry incorporating a desk as well as enough storage for running a business, working from home, or simply all of the family's books, homework and stationary. It's a 'turn key' room!

Lounge

4.89m x 4.83m - 16'1” x 15'10”
Now this room is incredibly inviting! Whether its cosy decor or the log burner there is something that asks you to step in, sit down and pop your feet up. Very few family homes are built with large square lounges rather than long narrow rectangles and boy does it make a difference to how much more inviting and sociable it feels. A window looks out to the herb garden and a glazed door leads into the sunroom.

Sun Room

3.72m x 3.42m - 12'2” x 11'3”
This is one of those rooms you can imagine using far more than you first expect. Flooded with natural light from windows on three sides and with French doors opening straight onto the patio, it is the perfect place for a morning coffee, an afternoon with a book or simply somewhere to sit and enjoy the garden whatever the weather. Being directly off the lounge means it feels like a natural extension of the main living space too.

Family Kitchen

7.1m x 4.46m - 23'4” x 14'8”
Now this is a proper family kitchen! Generous, bright and incredibly sociable, there is masses of cupboard and worktop space, a large central island and still plenty of room for a full size dining table. The range cooker takes centre stage beneath a statement extractor, while the sink looks out over the garden. Whether it is breakfast before school, cooking for a crowd or everyone gathering here at the end of the day, this is undoubtedly one of the real hubs of the home.

Utility Room

3.3m x 2.82m - 10'10” x 9'3”
And because every great family kitchen deserves somewhere to hide the practical stuff, the utility room does exactly that. There is plenty of additional storage and worktop space, a sink, room for laundry appliances and a really useful fitted bench with coat hooks and storage. A door leads directly outside, making this the ideal everyday entrance after muddy walks, gardening or coming home with the dog. Doors also lead to the integral double garage and downstairs cloakroom.

Cloakroom

2.72m x 1.99m - 8'11” x 6'6”
Far more generous than your average downstairs loo! This cloakroom has been finished with real style, there is a modern vanity unit, WC, feature splash back and enough space that it feels like a proper room rather than something squeezed under the stairs. Jack and Jill'ed off the utility area and hall make it very practical in a home of this size.

Galleried Landing

The staircase opens onto a fabulous galleried landing which is almost a room in its own right. The oak balustrade wraps around the stairwell and allows light to travel between both floors, while the generous proportions give the whole first floor a wonderfully spacious feel. It is one of those architectural features that makes the house feel special every time you walk upstairs. You will also find that there isn't just one large airing cupboard but two! One housing the hot water tank and with slatted shelving and the second providing deep storage, conveniently right beneath the loft hatch.

Principal Bedroom

4.91m x 3.55m - 16'1” x 11'8”
The principal bedroom is a wonderfully calm and spacious retreat, with generous proportions and a lovely sense of separation from the rest of the first floor. The sleeping area easily accommodates a large bed and plenty of additional furniture, opening from a dedicated dressing area with space for a dressing table and further storage. The sloping ceilings and roof windows add character without compromising the feeling of space. What really makes it though is the suite of rooms attached to it, with both a private ensuite and separate walk in wardrobe creating a proper 'master suite' rather than simply a bedroom with a shower room. It is pure luxury!

Ensuite

2.98m x 2.64m - 9'9” x 8'8”
The principal ensuite feels more like a boutique hotel bathroom than an ensuite. Beautifully tiled, it has a walk in shower enclosure and a large stylish vanity unit plus WC and a Velux window creating a private luxurious space to start and end the day.

Walk In Wardrobe

2.98m x 2.64m - 9'9” x 8'8”
And then there is the walk in wardrobe... A genuinely useful dressing room rather than just a cupboard with rails. Fitted with extensive hanging space, shelving and storage on both sides, there is room here for clothes, shoes and accessories to all have a proper home. It keeps the bedroom beautifully uncluttered and completes what is a very well thought out principal suite giving that extra sense of luxury while also being hugely practical.

Bedroom 2

4.55m x 3.01m - 14'11” x 9'11”
Bedroom two is another excellent double room and one that works well for guests or grown up children before they are ready to fly the nest. There is plenty of room for a large bed and freestanding furniture, with the added bonus of its own ensuite tucked conveniently alongside. There is also a fitted cupboard used as a wardrobe - so much space!

Ensuite

2.38m x 2.26m - 7'10” x 7'5”
Bedroom two has its own smart ensuite shower room, finished in warm wood-effect tiling with a large curved shower enclosure, vanity basin and WC. A great addition for older children, guests or anyone who values having their own bathroom in the morning!

Bedroom 3

4.86m x 2.56m - 15'11” x 8'5”
Bedroom three is a long, generous double with plenty of space for both sleeping and wardrobe storage. Its proportions make it particularly versatile, currently used as a large ironing and sewing room - what a treat!

Bedroom 4

3.19m x 3m - 10'6” x 9'10”
Another comfortable double bedroom, bedroom four is bright, simple and easy to furnish. There is plenty of room for a double bed, bedside tables and additional storage, plus still having a walk in cupboard with rails here too. All making this much more than the token fourth bedroom you so often find in modern family homes.

Bedroom 5

3.67m x 2.67m - 12'0” x 8'9”
Bedroom five continues the theme, again offering proper usable proportions rather than feeling like the box room. It would make a lovely child's room, guest bedroom or even a second home office depending on what your family needs. And yes there is another full size built in storage cupboard fitted with rail and shelving.

Family Bathroom

The family bathroom is beautifully finished with fully tiled travertine floors and walls encasing the shower enclosure as well as a full size bath, this creates space for candles, glass of wine, book stand...and relax! There is also a modern vanity unit, heated towel radiator and modern fittings and low level WC. There will be no arguments over whether you are a bath or shower person here! It is stylish, practical and more than capable of handling busy family mornings.

Driveway

To the front of the property there is a substantial driveway providing plenty of off-road parking, as well as direct access to the double garage. For a five bedroom family home, having this much practical parking really does make day-to-day life easier.

Double Garage

6.4m x 5.51m - 20'12” x 18'1”
The double garage is a proper double rather than two cars having to breathe in! There is excellent space for parking, storage, bikes, tools and all of the other things family life seems to accumulate, with direct access to the rear garden and to the utility room making it particularly useful in all seasons.

Garden

The rear garden has been designed as somewhere to really enjoy your time. A large paved terrace wraps around the back of the house, creating several different spots for dining, barbecues and entertaining and with direct access from the sun room making indoor-outdoor living feel really natural. Beyond this are areas of raised neatly kept artificial lawn, mature planting, established borders, a private reflection area with a raised cottage flowerbed and all of this gives the garden colour, privacy and interest without feeling high maintenance.

Tucked into the top corner is a substantial covered seating area, an outdoor garden room if you like, it is perfect for extending those summer evenings or enjoying the garden when the weather is being less cooperative. With electrics for light and sound and three sides to provide weather barriers the current owners spend many evenings here with a glass of wine and a good catch up.

Lastly there is a green house where there was formerly a
