A versatile detached five bedroom family home set in just over 5.5 acres in a sought after location, with business opportunity/development potential, previously operated as a garden centre, café and camping and glamping site.
The property would also be suitable for equestrian or smallholding use, having a selection of stabling and outbuildings.
Saundby is a small hamlet to the west of Gainsborough, which offers a good range of facilities and amenities. Nearby Retford also has a good range of facilities, along with a mainline rail link to London’s Kings Cross. The area is well served by the motorway network with the A1, M18, M62 and the M1 all easily accessible. There is a wide choice of local primary and secondary schooling, including the Queen Elizabeth Grammar School in Gainsborough, Ranby School and Worksop College. The historic city of Lincoln is a short drive away with its cathedral, castle and university.
The residence
A five bedroom detached house benefitting from gas central heating. The accommodation in brief is as follows, please refer to the floor plan for approximate room sizes
The Front Door leads into the welcoming Dining Room which has a feature fireplace with logburner and stairs rising to the First Floor To the right the Lounge, with uPVC double doors opening out to the garden, leads onto a Study
The Kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units with worksurfaces, single drainer sink with mixer tap and tiled splashback, space for cooker, extractor hood, integrated dishwasher and fridge and breakfast bar. A door leads through to the Utility/Rear Entrance which has quarry tiled flooring, storage cupboards, plumbing for washing machine, space for tumble dryer, single drainer sink, space for a free-standing fridge freezer, a door to outside and a Cloakroom with WC and wash hand basin.
To the left of the Dining Room the Sitting Room has an attractive cast iron open fireplace with tiled inserts and wooden surround.
To the First Floor a landing leads to a Large Main Bedroom with Ensuite comprising free-standing rolled edge bath, wash hand basin, WC and electric shower cubicle, with tiled walls and floor, and extractor. Bedrooms Two and Three are comfortable double rooms, whilst Bedroom Four has fitted wardrobes and the smaller Bedroom Five is utilised as a linen/ironing room and has fitted shelving and the wall-mounted gas boiler. The First Floor is completed by a Family Shower Room with shower cubicle, wash hand basin in vanity unit, WC, tiled walls and heated towel rail.

Outside, outbuildings & land
Electric gates from the road give access to a driveway with parking. To the front of the house the garden is low maintenance with a gravelled surface and an attractive low wall with railings and pedestrian gate.
Formal Gardens lie to the rear and one side of the house with lawns and a good variety of mature trees and shrubs. There is a pleasant Patio Seating Area to the side of the house and a further Decked Seating Area to the rear.
There is a Detached Double Garage with electric roller shutter door, and the driveway then leads on to a gated Courtyard with power and light, comprising Four Stables and a Tack Room
The majority of the land is to the rear of the property and was, until relatively recently, used as a successful camping and glamping site with Four Camping Pitches and a gravel Customer Parking Area
A galvanised gate from the Camping Field leads on to a Further Paddock with a water supply and a Corral for livestock.
To the right-hand side of the house a Large Dutch Barn has a separate access from the road and Large Parking Area to the front. Within the barn there is an Office, Seating Area and Former Café and Kitchen The current owners previously operated a Garden Centre and Café from the building, further information regarding the business is available on viewing.
In the Agent’s opinion a building of this size with independent access, could lend itself to a huge variety of uses, or indeed may have potential for residential development, subject to obtaining the necessary permissions. There are similar residential development sites in the local vicinity that have recently been passed for housing and it would be hoped that the local council would look favourably on this site. Please note however, that no applications for residential planning have been previously submitted.
