Station Road, Swineshead, Boston, Lincolnshire

Pantiles is a particularly attractive and versatile home, combining the character and charm of a period property with the practical advantages of a house built in the 1980s.

From the outside, its reclaimed brick elevations and distinctive clay pantile roof give it the appearance of a much older property, while inside, the characterful features and thoughtful improvements continue that feeling. The current owners have beautifully maintained the house and carried out extensive refurbishment over the years, creating a home that feels comfortable, warm and beautifully cared for.

The bespoke handmade Murdoch Troon kitchen, latch doors, characterful oak and tiled flooring and feature wall panelling all add warmth and interest, giving the interiors a distinctly period feel without compromising the practicality of a modern home.

In our opinion, of the property’s greatest strengths is its versatility. There are three double bedrooms to the first floor, while the ground floor provides three separate reception spaces, including a comfortable sitting room, a useful study or breakfast room adjoining the kitchen, and a separate dining room. A downstairs shower room and utility room are also conveniently positioned off a side hallway, which leads through to the double garage. This is currently used as a studio by the owners, although the original garage doors remain in situ, offering considerable flexibility for future use.

The established front garden is attractively planted with lawn, shrubs and well-stocked beds and borders, while a generous gravel driveway provides ample off-road parking for several vehicles. The rear garden is equally generous and provides a lovely setting for enjoying the outdoors. Predominantly laid to lawn, it features an established apple tree, a timber pergola entwined with a grapevine, which the owners use to produce their own wine, together with an outdoor pizza oven and cooking and entertaining area – making it a particularly enjoyable space for spending time with family and friends.

Situated in the popular village of Swineshead the property is well placed for a good range of everyday amenities, including a primary school, village pub, cafés, independent shops, a Co-op and doctors’ surgery.
