A rare opportunity to purchase an exemplary, state of the art, fully glazed, Huf Haus set over three levels, providing a superb connection with the outdoors with a stunning view from every room over its exquisitely designed, surrounding landscaped gardens and paddocks beyond amounting to 12 acres. This impressive, immaculate property has an abundance of space inside and out, is kind to the planet, has permission for further development, and offers a highly desirable lifestyle.Approached through electric gates and a winding drive, the house is in the sought after village of Aisby, 6 miles between Grantham and Sleaford, both with excellent schools and Grantham with a high-speed rail service to London taking around an hour, whilst major road links are also nearby including the A1, making this an ideal home for a commuter.“We have lived here for 11 years having bought it from the people who commissioned the build in 2004 and have so loved the peace and tranquility and the beautiful views through all the glazing. All you can see from the house we own, giving complete privacy which was very important to us. It’s the perfect place for animals especially since we didn’t want to be near a road as we've lost too many cats!”“The house is so well built and of such good quality it is going to be difficult to find something to equal it. The windows are all double-glazed and most have automatic external metal blinds to regulate the temperatures so it’s warm in winter and cool in summer, similarly there are no draughts. We have a large log-burner in the lounge fuelled by all our own wood; it’s not necessary from the point of view of heating but creates a cosy, ambient focal point in winter. The basement bedrooms are lovely and cool when the weather’s hot, and on the middle floor, huge windows open wide onto the decking, or balcony. The enormous, full-height skylight in the middle of the roof sheds even more natural light onto the top and middle floor; it has an external blind with automatic controls for sun and wind.”“The house offers a lot of flexibility in terms of use of spaces, for instance, both the office and the gym have been lounges in the past, in fact the latter made an ideal extra TV room for the children. There is so much space for everyone of all ages – the second bedroom, on the top floor, has a little mezzanine level, reached by a set of ladders which children love.”With 360 degree views from the house, the surroundings are paramount. “When we arrived here, the garden was pretty much just a field. As it was very open, we extended the borders and beds, put in lots more hedges and created the arboretum which looks lovely from the dining room. The totem trees are very resilient, their tall, slim, vertical shapes reflecting the construction of the house. On a raised area outside, mid-way between the terrace and the balcony, we have a hot tub surrounded by paving and sheltered in the lee of the bank retained by huge boulders. It is the perfect sunny spot for it and is illuminated in the evening. Each year we open the garden to the National Garden Scheme, and the ngs county organiser thinks it’s one of the finest gardens in Lincolnshire.”“The land is divided into 8 paddocks, all fenced for stock with water supplied. If someone wanted to have horses here, the barn could easily be fitted with internal stables. We built the barn in 2012, with its photovoltaic panels on the roof which provide a useful income – not only do we receive free electricity but this year they generated an income in excess of £3,000, all tax free. At the same time we also bought the mobile field shelter which is a very good one. With so much land, one of the fields has just been seeded to become a wildflower meadow.”“We also have a large potting shed which has electricity and water laid on, and a kitchen garden and composting area. The car port near the entrance of the house holds two cars with electric points for charging hybrid vehicles, alongside a garage with an automatic door. The solid timber entrance gates from the lane are also electric with an intercom system making the whole property very secure.”“Living in a Huf Haus is quite exceptional, it’s a complete lifestyle, and something we would love to do again but it is difficult to find them as there are only about 300 in the country and we believe this is the only one in Lincolnshire. There is a Huf Haus Owners Club, a British only thing, to which we belong; there’s a small annual membership fee and a lovely girl who runs it. There’s a meeting every year and we have made good friends with people as we all have a common passion!”LocationAisby is a small rural village mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, lying 6 miles east of Grantham and about 6 miles southwest of Sleaford and just a mile north of the A52 providing excellent access to Grantham with its fast train service to London King’s Cross, and a superb array of shops, sports clubs and schools. Aisby, together with the neighbouring villages of Oasby, Heydour, Culverthorpe and Kelby form the parish of Heydour. St. Michael’s Parish Church is in Heydour whilst the parish hall is in Aisby at the top of its large village green sloping gently down a hill. The property is completely hidden, tucked away down a little lane. The Houblon Arms is a 17th century inn serving food and offering rooms located in nearby Oasby and The Crown & Anchor is a popular pub also serving food at Welby less than a 5 minute drive.
