The property itself is set in the green belt on the outskirts of the south Lincolnshire village of Gedney Drove End. Onslow House is a unique country family home of character, featuring impressive grounds and spacious interior rooms. The house originally dates from 1899 and was owned by a wealthy landowner who farmed the surrounding area, during the eighties the property changed ownership and in the early 90’s it was converted and used as a residential care home for the elderly. Recently Onslow House has undergone an extensive makeover with alteration and refurbishment, now reverting back into it’s original use as a large family country home. The house boasts many features and is also ideally suitable for anyone who requires a property with easy disabled access. Sitting in a plot of approximately 1.7 acres (sts), the private location and setting of the house is very appealing, featuring lawned areas to the front, rear and side of the house, with many mature trees and wooded areas, various hedges including a stone walled sunken garden and an original Victorian brick built open summerhouse with original pond, recently having a refurbished felted and tiled roof. When the trees are in full leaf the grounds and open countryside views are breathtakingly stunning.

The spacious accommodation includes large reception rooms and bedrooms, all leading off from the central hallway. Walking through the front door you are immediately drawn to the striking spacious hallway with wrought iron and wood staircase which leads up to a gallery landing. The accommodation comprises of an entrance porch/hallway, reception hallway, large sitting room, dining room with a connecting door to the kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, snug and study which is currently used as an office/computer room. In addition to these ground floor rooms, through a separating partition door and to the rear of the house, there are two spacious storage rooms, boiler room, a four person passenger lift to the first floor and access to the integral triple garage. To the first floor, there are seven bedrooms, four having various styled new en-suite’s, a separate large family bathroom with new whirlpool bath suite and two handy storage rooms. Off the galleried landing and through external doors there is a feature wrought iron fenced veranda, which is a suntrap during most of the day. The property has easy access throughout and towards the rear of the building is a discreet enclosed fire escape. Due to the size of the property and its previous use there may be a possible business opportunity, such as residential care, bed and breakfast etc; (subject to local authority planning laws). The house is also designed for easy access and caters well for wheelchair users with a handy passenger lift, level floors, wide internal and external doorways plus level paths around the house, garden and summer house. With the former use of the property being classed as a public building it has the added benefits of upgraded ceilings for sound and fire protection, modern plumbing, oil fired central heating and full electrical rewiring.
