Usually, buying a home means compromising somewhere along the line. This one makes a fairly convincing argument that you might not have to. Set in the sought-after village of Hougham, near Grantham, this individual five-bedroom detached family home combines generous living space, countryside on the doorstep and an exceptional energy-efficiency specification, while direct trains from Grantham can reach London King’s Cross in around 70 minutes, depending on the service. And then there is the EPC rating. This home has achieved EPC Band A. To put that into perspective, recent analysis of EPC data has reported that only around 0.4% of UK homes achieve an A rating. That makes this much more than simply another large detached family home with solar panels on the roof. The property has a 9kW solar panel system, 10kW battery storage, air source heating and underfloor heating through much of the ground floor. Solar panels are fitted to both the house and garage, creating a home where serious thought has gone into how energy is generated, stored and used. All of that technology is impressive, but thankfully the house itself is rather lovely too. Step inside and the first impression is one of proper space. The entrance hall is generous and welcoming, with fitted Sharps storage providing cupboards and drawers for coats, shoes and all the usual family clutter that somehow multiplies overnight. From here, the main living room delivers the first real wow moment. Large aluminium sliding doors span the rear of the room, framing the garden almost like a moving picture and filling the space with natural light. Open them in summer and the house connects beautifully with the patio and garden. Close them in winter, light the log burner and the room takes on a completely different feel. Glass-panelled oak double doors lead into the second reception room, currently arranged as a dining and family area. This gives the ground floor genuine flexibility. Formal dining, family room, entertaining space, television room or simply somewhere for different generations to spread out without everybody competing for the same sofa. The kitchen is generously proportioned and properly equipped for family life. There is extensive storage, a central island and breakfast bar, a five-ring gas hob supplied by gas canisters, double electric oven, combination oven, warming drawer, built-in fridge and space for additional refrigeration. The hot water tap also provides filtered cold water. Alongside the kitchen is a separate utility room with further storage and direct garden access. Dog owners will immediately understand the appeal of that. So will anyone who has ever watched muddy footprints travel silently through an entire house. The utility also provides space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, additional work surfaces, sink and storage. On the opposite side of the house is something increasingly valuable in modern family life: a genuine, separate home office. Currently arranged as a library and study, it provides a quiet space away from the main living accommodation and overlooks the front of the property. With 2.5 gigabit broadband available, this is a home particularly well suited to remote and hybrid working. Working from a Lincolnshire village with London still around 70 minutes from Grantham station suddenly starts to make a lot of sense. A ground-floor shower room completes the accommodation at this level. Upstairs, the scale of the house continues. The spacious landing benefits from additional natural light and provides access to a boarded loft via pull-down ladders. The principal bedroom is an excellent size, with Hammonds fitted wardrobes and matching drawer units. Its en-suite is not exactly shy either. There is a large Jacuzzi bath, walk-in shower with rainfall and handheld fittings, vanity unit, WC and heated towel rail. It feels more like somewhere designed to switch off than somewhere simply designed to get ready for work. Bedroom two enjoys views towards the horse paddocks to the rear and includes fitted storage. Three further well-proportioned bedrooms complete the sleeping accommodation, providing plenty of flexibility for children, guests, hobbies or additional working space. The family bathroom is equally generous. A large shaped bathtub sits alongside a spacious separate shower with rainfall and handheld fittings, complemented by a wash basin, WC and heated towel rail. Outside, the property continues to offer the sort of space a five-bedroom family home ought to have. The block-paved driveway provides extensive parking, with space for numerous vehicles, and leads to a detached double garage. The garage also houses the battery storage system connected to the solar installation. To the rear is a mature and established garden designed for both enjoyment and practicality. A large patio provides plenty of room for outdoor dining and entertaining, opening onto a lawn surrounded by mature planting and established borders. For anyone who enjoys growing their own produce, there are raised vegetable beds, a greenhouse and composting area, while a garden shed provides further useful storage. There is outside lighting for summer evenings, and access is available along both sides of the house. It is a garden you can actually use. Entertain friends on the patio, grow vegetables, let children or dogs loose on the lawn, or simply find a quiet corner and pretend for half an hour that nobody knows where you are. Beyond the property itself, Hougham offers genuine village living. There is a community-owned pub, village shop and village hall, together with countryside walks nearby. Yet village life here does not mean feeling cut off. Grantham provides excellent transport connections, with direct services to London King’s Cross taking around 70 minutes depending on the service, while road and rail connections also provide access towards Nottingham, Cambridge and destinations further north. That combination is what makes this house particularly unusual. You can wake up in a Lincolnshire village. Walk the dog in the countryside. Work from home using exceptionally fast broadband. Generate and store energy through a substantial solar and battery system. And still have direct access to London when you need it. Add five bedrooms, two generous reception spaces, a proper home office, substantial bathrooms, extensive parking, a double garage and a beautiful garden, and this becomes far more than another large family home. Country living. London connection. Exceptional EPC A efficiency. A genuinely individual home that manages to offer all three.
