Exterior and Gardens
The Old Engine House is a former agricultural building which was completely rebuilt in 1999 using reclaimed materials whilst incorporating modern foundations and cavity walls. It has subsequently been fitted throughout with bespoke solid wood windows and doors by George Barnsdale of Donington and an enclosed, oak entrance porch by The Oak Workshop of Doncaster. The property has had extensive additional insulation installed and benefits from a state-of-the-art TADO heating control system.
On the ground floor are the main living areas, including a well-appointed Mereway kitchen featuring an AGA, a light-filled dining room with an original pillar that flows seamlessly via double solid oak doors into the living room, which itself features a beautiful stone fireplace with a multi-fuel Clearview stove. Completing the ground floor is a larder room, WC, and a garage which has been repurposed to serve as a utility room and store.
The first floor has a sumptuous master bedroom suite, two additional double bedrooms and the family shower room. Meanwhile, the second floor houses two further double bedrooms. Externally, the property has off-road parking to the front, and to the rear is an immaculate garden with a variety of plants, a stone flagged patio and mature trees.
The property which features a combination of natural stone and solid oak floors, doors, skirting, architraves and staircases is situated between the Norman church and the historic ruins of a former Elizabethan mansion within the village of Thorpe Salvin.

The beautiful setting of Thorpe Salvin is nestled amongst the countryside, allowing for scenic walks through fields, woodlands and the canal towpath.
