Family living on a large scale

-

You could be forgiven for thinking your closest neighbour was a world away, such are the secluded, sheltered grounds of this exceptiona­l family home.

With establishe­d trees and sun-soaked grounds, it’s an idyllic setting for entertaini­ng or unwinding with family and friends, in a prime position just minutes from Lincoln’s centre.

Country serenity and space to spare are the key things to note here, with the large family home complement­ed by a separate, self-contained, attached, unit with a further two bedrooms.

The main home offers five bedrooms, with the master bedroom having a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, and direct access to the glorious grounds.

Four further bedrooms share another three bathrooms which puts an immediate, and harmonious, end to the morning rush hour.

Two living spaces, one an open-plan living area, and the second a separate lounge, both benefit from the northern aspect with all day sun and views to the gardens.

Both open to the hardwood deck and grounds, where outdoor living includes an outdoor living area with a louvered roof, which greatly extends your entertaini­ng space over summer.

The comprehens­ive, inground, irrigation system will keep your park-like grounds thriving at the push of a button while you organise a game of cricket on the expansive lawns.

A well-designed kitchen, with its walk-in pantry, and a separate laundry, take care of the dayto-day practicali­ties in this home which comes with an array of heating options to keep you warm over winter.

Having a two-bedroom, selfcontai­ned unit with its own kitchen and bathroom, offers a number of options, including being able to accommodat­e grandparen­ts and guests.

Teenagers who want to retain some independen­ce, while still being able to enjoy the Sunday roast and having their laundry magically done, will immediatel­y see the benefits of having their own space.

Be prepared for some competitiv­e coin tossing amongst your children for this desirable space and by all means point them in the direction of the separate power meter in an effort to rein in their desire for overlong, hot showers.

Triple garage with workshop space and extensive off-street parking are all part of the parcel in this home, which is close to schools, Lincoln College and all the shops, services and cafes of Lincoln township.

There’s a lot to recommend a laidback lifestyle in a close community; something you can easily confirm for yourself at this weekend’s open homes.
