Welcome to Merryfield House, 25 Walcott Road, Billinghay

You wouldn't guess what's behind the front door…

From the roadside, Merryfield House presents as an attractive traditional home, but step inside and there is far more than first meets the eye.

Extended and thoughtfully remodelled, the property opens into a spectacular 29ft kitchen, dining and living space, complete with a vaulted ceiling, exposed roof timbers and multiple French doors opening directly onto the wonderful south facing garden. This home also comes with underfloor heating throughout, even the first floor.

Add in four bedrooms including a ground floor bedroom, two bathrooms, a separate living room, home office, generous gardens, extensive parking and a detached double garage with an additional 19ft versatile room, and this is a home that genuinely needs to be explored to appreciate everything it offers.

The real showpiece is undoubtedly the 29'0" kitchen, dining and living area. Measuring approximately 8.85m x 4.36m, this is a fantastic space for everyday family life and entertaining, with the impressive vaulted ceiling and exposed roof timbers creating a real sense of scale.

The kitchen itself offers an extensive range of fitted units, generous worktop space, a large breakfast bar and range style cooker, integrated fridge/freezer, dishwasher, wine fridge and hot water tap, while the size of the room comfortably accommodates a substantial dining table alongside a relaxed living area. Multiple sets of French doors open directly onto the garden and patio, creating a brilliant connection between the inside and outside spaces.

For those occasions when you want somewhere a little quieter, there is a separate 18'11" living room, providing that all important second reception space away from the main open plan living area.

One of the biggest strengths of Merryfield House is just how versatile the accommodation is. A generous 16'6" ground floor bedroom, with fitted wardrobes, provides an excellent option for guests, older children or anyone looking for predominantly ground floor living. There is also a separate ground floor shower room, making this part of the house particularly practical.

Working from home is well catered for too, with a dedicated office/craft room, while a separate utility room and boiler room add further everyday practicality.

Upstairs, there are three further bedrooms and the family bathroom. Bedroom two offers maximum measurements of 13'6" x 8'4", bedroom three measures 11'0" x 10'5" and bedroom four measures 9'11" x 8'0".

This home is fully upvc double glazed and has oil fired central heating.

Outside

Merryfield House continues to impress outside, with a substantial gravelled frontage providing extensive off road parking, alongside the detached double garage.

To the rear is an attractive, established and well enclosed south facing garden offering an excellent amount of usable space. A large paved patio runs alongside the house, providing plenty of room for outdoor seating, dining and entertaining, while the lawn is complemented by mature trees, established planting and colourful borders.

The detached outbuilding adds another dimension to the property. Alongside the 19'2" x 19'11" double garage is a substantial 19'7" x 10'9" additional room, offering fantastic flexibility as a home office, gym, hobby room, recreation space or additional storage.

Merryfield House is a property that's difficult to fully appreciate from the roadside alone. Behind its traditional frontage is a surprisingly substantial and versatile family home, with the spectacular 29ft open plan living kitchen at its heart, excellent bedroom accommodation, generous outside space and outbuildings that offer even more possibilities.

Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate just how much this home has to offer.
