Larchwood

Traditional Country and cutting-edge aesthetics

As you can see, it is a particularly charming, uniquely styled property. The idea has been to create a modern, ergonomic and ecological living space, styled as a traditional rural building. The finer detail is worth close attention. It has English large cladding, meticulously applied to a timber frame structure. This means that the building itself is made with highly sustainable building materials. It has single pan tiling and premium slate rooves. You will note the dental slips on the roof ridges.

If you visit the site, you will not only see the precision in the build, but will notice some of the sustainability goals of the designers. For instance, there are hand-make bricks, sourced from a local supplier. There are clay pan tiles, similarly sourced, and applied using traditional skills, again locally sourced. You will see the high quality wooden features, both inside and out, which characterise this beautiful living space.

Larchwood has a hi- spec and high quality kitchen manufactured by Rot Punkt in Germany. The idea has been to combine tradition and innovation… the synthesis of these two are a characteristic which transcends the Rot Punkt range. There is clarity of design which combines functionality with visual appeal and durability.

But these are also high sustainable kitchens. From 2020 each of the Rot Punkt kitchens are manufactured carbon neutral and are independently certified as such. At the heart of the manufacture is the ‘greenline BioBoard’, which has been used, and it is said that this alone saves about 50 football pitches of forest per year!

The texture and finish is high quality, and are ‘finger-print-proof’! They have smoother open and closing cupboard doors and drawers. There are Bosch appliances, hob, oven, freezer, fridge, microwave, wine cooler etc, with a functional and ergonomic layout. The kitchen is the centre of living in The Barn.
The black and oak finishes, contrast with the bright porcelain floor tiling. The floor tiles are edged to have a rustic appearance, and at the same time, provides a clean appearance. The floor tiling is taken into some of the main living spaces on the ground floor, including utility room and walk-in pantry.
The kitchen benefits from underfloor heating, which is integrated with the heat pump heating system.

Larchwood has been designed with modern living in mind. On the ground floor, you will see that the kitchen/diner space is at the centre of the living space. There are three additional rooms. One is a utility room, with all the space needed for whitegoods (washer, dryer etc), sink etc. The second is a walk-in larder, so as to allow all stores (shopping etc) to be hidden away. The third is an understairs cupboard, e.g. for cleaning materials, vacuum cleaner etc. It includes a hidden 'valuables closet'.

The three adjoining spaces to the main kitchen allows accessibility but all the ‘hiding away’ of unwanted clutter in an everyday and social sense.

There are three further living spaces of note. Firstly, there is an orangery area. This is designed to embrace the outdoor living, reaching out into the garden area. Secondly, there is a living room, which is modelled on a ‘large snug’. This is intended as a cosy living space and includes a high spec log burner. Thirdly, there is a downstairs bedroom/study. This area is specifically designed with disabled or elderly living in mind. You will see that there is a downstairs loo and shower area.

One of the features of Larchwood is the double storey mezzanine which has the feature oak staircase to the first floor.

You might also note that the ground floor also includes an integral double garage, equipped with power sources. The floor, walls and ceiling are fully insulated, making it an easy project to convert into a furthe living space or leisure space.

There are a number of other stand-out features that are worthy of note:

• The orangery and the snug living room both have double garden doors to the large garden and patio areas.
• The kitchen has modern ‘finger-print-proof’ units, with a sink overlooking the garden. The kitchen has been imported from Germany. It is coloured black and dark oak to contrast the porcelain ‘rustic look’ floor tiling. Included and integrated are larder fridge, double height freezer, double electric oven with electric hob, microwave and wine cooler. There is also a breakfast bar for relaxed everyday dining!
• Linking the kitchen to the orangery is a dwarf brick wall and oak surround.
• You will also see that in the garage there is a ‘service room’, which allows the heating system to be located in a single space, away from the living space.
• There is underfloor heating in the main living spaces, complimented by radiators in other areas. The source of energy is from modern heat pump technology (Daikin). This technology allows for greener energy. There is no fossil fuel (gas, oil) in the property.

From the mezzanine entrance area, there is an English oak staircase which leads to the second floor. Noteworthy points…
• The mezzanine is a double storey void, with feature lighting.
• The oak staircase is styled to embrace the English countryside, and has black features integrated into it, befitting of a traditional rural building.

Immediately at the top of the stairs, you will notice one of the bedrooms with double doors, specifically with the intention that these look over the mezzanine area. This space would also be an excellent study, and has integrated wardrobes and en-suite.

There are 4 main bedrooms on the first floor. Two of these have ensuite facilities. There is also a generous shared family bathroom. All four bedrooms have been carefully designed to overlook the back, to embrace views of the back gardens and the back field towards St Martin’s church. This allows a stunning backdrop.

The master bedroom has double Juliet doors and balcony. Great for those lazy Sunday mornings! The master bedroom benefits from space for built-in wardrobes or other storage, and a large ensuite.

You will see that there is a lovely sized garden to the rear, overlooking a farmers field and St Martins church beyond. There is a patio seating area facing these fields.

To the front there is a super sweeping driveway, sufficient for parking about 4 cars. This driveway leads into the double garage, designed to house two cars. The garage has bespoke, rustic wooden doors, built by local craftsmen.

Larchwood has 4 bathroom spaces, one downstairs, and three upstairs (two ensuites and one family bathroom).

The bathrooms are designed for luxury and comfort. They have modern white ceramics. They all have underfloor heating.
Features include:

• Curved free standing bath with free-standing black quarz mixer taps;
• Ceriana wc system, soft close;
• Oval countertop basins;
• Luxury shower trap in black;
• Tall basin mixer units;
• Luxury wetroom glass;
• Underfloor heating;
• Carrera marble tiles;
• Dark grey slate waterwalls.

Larchwood is located on the outskirts of Market Rasen. You may have heard about Market Rasen from the famous racecourse! Market Rasen is in fact a small market town right in the middle of the county, with easy access to Lincoln itself and a plethora of other market towns, seaside and coastline.

• Lincolnshire has great history, with lots of old churches and antiquities that seem to pop out of glorious countryside.
• The region contains two prominent upland areas, which cross the county from north to south.

Lincoln Edge is the more westerly, and is the narrower of the two upland areas. It is a limestone escarpment which rises abruptly on its western side. It is this that city of Lincoln is built. Separated from the Lincoln Edge by a clay lowland are the Lincolnshire Wolds. This is an area of rolling chalk hills. Between the Wolds and the coast lies an area known as the Lincoln Marsh. At its southern end it merges into the low-lying area of the Fens, which surrounds The Wash and has been the scene of drainage and reclamation efforts since Roman times.

Lincolnshire’s most well-known nature reserves include Gibraltar Point National Nature Reserve, Whisby Nature Park Local Nature Reserve, Donna Nook National Nature Reserve, RSPB Frampton Marsh and the Humberhead Peatlands National Nature Reserve. Although the Lincolnshire countryside is intensively farmed, there are many biodiverse wetland areas, as well as rare limewood forests.

Perhaps the most noticeable characteristic of Lincolnshire, is the market towns. Beautiful locations, undiscovered charm, friendly people, fabulous food… all can be found in the picturesque historic market towns and village hamlets of Lincolnshire.

The name ‘Lincolnshire’ is of course from the city of Lincoln, whose name literally means ‘lake/pool colony’. It combines the brythonic word ‘lynn’ with the Latin word ‘colonia’. This translates to ‘town by the pool’. The water which flowed into the fields enabled Lincolnshire to develop its farming, the produce of which was sold in the markets of the county. The high quality produce resulted in a reputation drawing traders from other parts of the country. The history of the county continues to this day, making it one of best counties for markets, and fresh produce.

Lincolnshire offers a fabulous retreat to economical and ergonomic living. But it is also ‘on the map’!
• 20 minutes by car to Lincoln

Lincolnshire is a treasure trove of historical landmarks, from magnificent churches to ancient ruins that punctuate the breath-taking countryside. The county boasts two distinct upland regions: the limestone escarpment of Lincoln Edge and the rolling chalk hills of the Lincolnshire Wolds, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The Wolds attract visitors from far and near to enjoy it’s near endless walking routes and unrivalled countryside vistas. Just 6 miles to the east, the locally renowned ‘Viking Way’ can be accessed at Normanby le Wold. The Viking Way is a 147 mile hiking route which connects the Humber Bridge to Oakham, passing through a range of towns and villages with Viking roots. The stretch of the route that connects Normanby to Bigby is exceptionally beautiful as it tracks along the ridge edge and offers stunning elevated views across the county. You can also explore the enchanting marshes and biodiverse wetlands that stretch towards the coast, and marvel at the county's spectacular nature reserves, such as Gibraltar Point, Donna Nook, Whisby Nature Park and Humberhead Peatlands.

The region has amazing coastlines, running from King’s Lynn in the south, to Grimsby in the North. This section of north eastern English coast boasts some of the most un-touched coastline in England.

According to Lincolnshire wildlife trust, one of top reserves in England stretches from Gibraltar Point, running south of Skegness to the mouth of The Wash. The countryside is stunning, and it brings with it amazing opportunity for outdoor sports, which are on the doorstep.

Lincolnshire’s coastal nature reserves include:
