About this home
GRADE II LISTED Standing proudly on one of Sleaford's most recognisable roads, adjacent to the iconic Bass Maltings, Redcroft is an exceptional detached period residence offering approximately 2,398 sq ft of beautifully proportioned accommodation and was built as part of the Bass Maltings development in 1905 and was built for the manager of the site. Rich in Edwardian character yet thoughtfully updated for modern family life, the property effortlessly combines original architectural features with stylish contemporary finishes, creating a home of real distinction in a highly sought-after location.
A grand entrance hall immediately sets the tone, showcasing striking original mosaic tiled flooring, stained glass windows, high ceilings and an impressive staircase. The ground floor offers an excellent balance of formal and informal living spaces, including a bay-fronted sitting room with feature fireplace, a spacious family room ideal for everyday living, a generous formal dining room complete with bespoke fitted cabinetry and French doors opening onto the garden, and a separate home office providing the perfect work-from-home space. The beautifully appointed breakfast kitchen has been sympathetically modernised with handcrafted shaker-style cabinetry, solid timber worktops, a range cooker, breakfast bar and Belfast sink, whilst a separate utility room offers additional practicality.
The first floor continues to impress with five well-proportioned bedrooms, including an outstanding principal bedroom measuring over 16ft in length. The remaining bedrooms are all generous in size, making the property ideal for growing families, with one room currently arranged as a cleverly divided children's bedroom that could easily be returned to a conventional double room if desired. A stylish family bathroom featuring a freestanding roll-top bath is complemented by a separate shower room, offering excellent flexibility for busy households.
Throughout the home, an abundance of original features has been lovingly retained, including decorative stained glass, picture rails, fireplaces, deep skirting boards, ornate cornicing and wonderfully high ceilings, all combining to preserve the character expected of a property of this era while blending seamlessly with tasteful modern décor.
Outside, Redcroft enjoys mature wraparound gardens providing a high degree of privacy, with extensive lawns shaded by established specimen trees, generous paved entertaining terraces, beautifully planted borders and a secluded courtyard garden. The property also benefits from extensive off-road parking and useful outbuildings, creating an ideal environment for both family life and entertaining.
Perfectly positioned on Mareham Lane, within walking distance of Sleaford's town centre, excellent schools and railway station, Redcroft occupies a unique setting beside the historic Bass Maltings, one of Lincolnshire's most celebrated landmarks. Rarely do homes of this character, scale and location become available, making this a truly exceptional opportunity to acquire one of Sleaford's finest period family homes.
