The Laurels, Thurlby, Lincolnshire

A highly individual, indeed unique property in the very heart of the little village of Thurlby less than ten miles north of Stamford, stands on just under three acres which have been beautifully landscaped, providing a stunning, private setting. It is very unusual for a house of this calibre to come on the market so this is a rare opportunity to purchase a particularly superb property.

Built in 2006 to an impeccable standard and to a design that has an outstanding impact of drama and sense of space flooded with light, this six or potentially seven bedroomed home offers luxurious living to a broad audience. Presented in immaculate order both inside and out, the extremely attractive and robustly constructed mellow yellow stone house sits under a slate roof with large stone quoins and wide archways a feature, and with a substantial turret to the rear it might be likened to a French Chateau. The grounds, on such a grand scale, also align with this idea.

The landscaped gardens stretch out behind the house to include not only beautiful terraces and walkways, lawns, mature borders and beds, a stunning pavilion, but also a formal, walled, kitchen garden with a new heated greenhouse and potting shed, a small orchard and a paddock beyond with a large wildlife pond and gazebo enclosed within park-style railings.
