<p>Some homes give you more rooms. This one gives you more possibilities.</p><p>Tucked away at the end of a no-through road, 16 Stowgate occupies a wonderfully secluded position offering a high degree of privacy. Set within around an acre, this substantial detached home offers over 3,000 sq ft of accommodation, a private swimming pool, extensive parking and a remarkable 44'7" x 22'8" detached workshop/outbuilding.</p><p>It is a combination that opens the door to all sorts of possibilities. There is space for a large or multigenerational family, room to work properly from home, somewhere for a serious hobby or collection, and even the potential to run a business from the property, subject to any necessary consents.</p><p>The sense of space begins as soon as you step inside. An impressive reception hall rises through two storeys to a galleried landing above, creating an arrival that feels appropriately substantial for a house of this scale.</p><p>At the heart of the ground floor is the kitchen and breakfast area. A central island provides an informal place to gather, while fitted cabinetry, generous work surfaces and a substantial range-style cooker create a kitchen designed for everyday family life. Alongside it, the breakfast area benefits from a dramatic high-level window and plenty of natural light. A separate utility room keeps the practical side of the house conveniently out of sight.</p><p>What really distinguishes the accommodation, however, is the sheer choice of places in which to spend your time.</p><p>The main living room measures approximately 22 ft and has a fireplace as its focal point, with doors opening directly into the garden. There is a separate formal dining room for entertaining, while another family room provides a completely different atmosphere and incorporates its own fitted bar. Beyond this, the conservatory overlooks the grounds and provides another light-filled place to relax.</p><p>A separate study sits away from the principal reception spaces, making it particularly useful for anyone working from home.</p><p>The bedroom arrangement provides another layer of flexibility. Three of the five bedrooms are positioned on the ground floor, together with a full bathroom featuring both a bath and separate shower. For families accommodating different generations under one roof, this could be particularly valuable, allowing relatives or older children to have their own part of the house without feeling disconnected from it.</p><p>Upstairs, two further bedrooms occupy either side of the galleried landing and both have their own en suite bathrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly generous, while bedroom two extends to approximately 22 ft in length. This arrangement gives the first floor an almost self-contained feel and means there is no obvious compromise between the five bedrooms.</p><p>It is outside, however, that 16 Stowgate becomes something genuinely unusual.</p><p>The property sits within a plot recorded at approximately 1.01 acres, with mature trees, established boundaries and its position at the end of the road helping create an impressive feeling of seclusion. There are extensive areas of garden together with terraces for outdoor dining and entertaining.</p><p>Set separately within the grounds is the private outdoor swimming pool, creating a wonderful focal point during the warmer months. A summerhouse sits alongside, while the surrounding paved terrace provides plenty of room for seating and entertaining.</p><p>Then there is the outbuilding.</p><p>Measuring approximately 44'7" x 22'8", this is considerably more substantial than the sort of garden workshop normally associated with a residential property. Previous particulars confirm that the building benefits from power and lighting, with additional driveway access and parking serving it. 16 Stowgate, Deeping St. James …</p><p>For someone with cars or motorcycles, a substantial hobby, equipment to store or simply a desire for serious workshop space, its usefulness is obvious. Equally, combined with the study, extensive parking and secluded setting, it creates interesting potential for somebody looking to work or potentially operate a business from home, subject to any necessary planning, licensing or other consents.</p><p>There is extensive driveway parking for numerous vehicles and an EV charging point, while the mature boundaries and surrounding countryside reinforce the feeling that you have escaped from conventional suburban living.</p><p>16 Stowgate will not suit somebody looking for an ordinary modern estate house. That is rather the point. It offers space not simply for more possessions, but for more ways of living.</p><br/>EPC Rating: D
