Property Description
Occupying a prime position in the heart of the highly regarded village of Covenham St Bartholomew, The Ash is an exceptional five-bedroom detached residence offering more than 4,000 square feet of beautifully finished living accommodation. Enhanced significantly by the current owners, the property offers extensive open-plan living, five en suite bedrooms, and one of the most impressive landscaped gardens seen in the area. With a detached outbuilding offering development potential, and a total plot extending to in excess of three-quarters of an acre, this remarkable home represents an outstanding lifestyle opportunity within an idyllic village setting.
Step Inside
A covered entrance porch provides shelter before entering the welcoming entrance hall, setting the tone for the space and quality found throughout the home. Amtico flooring runs throughout the ground floor, with herringbone detailing to the reception room, creating a seamless and elegant flow.
At the heart of the home lies a superb open-plan living, kitchen and dining area, measuring over 32 feet in length. The space is both sociable and functional, fitted with a bespoke kitchen offering wood grain work surfaces, feature island, integrated appliances, and a walk-in pantry. Twin French doors open directly onto the rear terrace, blending indoor and outdoor living with uninterrupted views across the landscaped garden, with the Lincolnshire Wolds forming a stunning backdrop.
The adjoining reception room, transformed by the current owners into a spectacular family, entertainment and garden room, has been finished with bespoke joinery, window seating, fitted bookcases, and a fireplace, creating a particularly elegant informal living space.
Completing the ground floor is a guest cloakroom, generous utility room, and a dedicated walk-in pantry providing excellent storage.
Bedrooms & Bathrooms
The spacious first-floor landing leads to five well-proportioned double bedrooms, each with its own en-suite.
The principal bedroom and en-suite have been beautifully redesigned by the current owners. The large en-suite bathroom features a bath and large shower enclosure with mood lighting and striking display cabinet, all creating a tranquil and relaxing space. The principal bedroom has a beautiful run of glass wardrobes extending over 5 meters and also benefits from a discreet air-to-air heat pump system providing both heating and cooling for year-round comfort. The master suite is laid with herringbone Amtico flooring, creating a warm and impressive space.
Each of the remaining bedrooms is equally well-appointed, offering en-suite facilities and excellent guest or family accommodation, with one currently adapted to serve as a spacious, well-equipped home office with views over the stunning garden.
Step Outside
The gardens at The Ash are unquestionably one of the property’s standout features — thoughtfully designed by renowned specialist Peter Eustance of Symphonic Garden Design.
Every element has been carefully considered to create a peaceful, private, and beautifully balanced outdoor space. Extensive Indian sandstone terraces provide multiple seating and entertaining areas, perfectly positioned to capture the west-facing aspect and enjoy the afternoon sun well into the evening. The carefully shaped lawns flow gently between richly planted borders, providing both colour and year-round structure.
Two striking water features, each independently powered, add movement, sound, and tranquillity to the space, creating a wonderfully atmospheric setting for evening gatherings and relaxation. A fully equipped polytunnel with power and a good-sized vegetable garden provides excellent growing space for the keen gardener.
From the far end of the garden, there are far-reaching views across open countryside with the rolling Lincolnshire Wolds forming a beautiful backdrop in the distance. The total plot extends to in excess of three-quarters of an acre, offering exceptional privacy and seclusion.
The property stands behind a tall brick frontage with wrought iron gates, opening onto a wide gravelled driveway offering secure parking for multiple vehicles, motorhome or caravan. To the side of the driveway stands a substantial detached brick-built outbuilding offering outstanding potential. With full-height ceilings and previous planning permission for conversion to a double garage, the building is currently used as a garage and workshop but offers exciting scope for annex accommodation, studio, or live-work use (subject to consents).
Energy Efficiency & Technology
The Ash also benefits from a highly efficient micro-generation system incorporating 34 solar panels with an 8kW inverter, supported by a 13kWh Tesla Powerwall providing energy storage. A MyEnergy Eddi unit optimises surplus generation to power dual immersion heaters, while an Ohme Home Pro EV charger is installed for convenient electric vehicle charging, making it future-proofed and energy efficent.
