House For Sale £295,000
A charming Grade II Listed, three bedroom cottage located in the popular Lincolnshire Wolds village of Scamblesby, ideally situated between Louth and Horncastle. The property is situated on a generous plot of one third of an acre (sts) with well-maintained gardens and having ample parking for multiple vehicles, together with a timber garage.
Internally, the property has retained its charming Period features including exposed beams and original doors, farmhouse-style kitchen, dining room, lounge and downstairs bathroom with a variety of further utility rooms to the rear. Upstairs are three bedrooms with a further family bathroom. There is ample room for extension to the buyers needs if required (stp). Viewing is essential to appreciate the location and character this property has to offer.
The Property Believed to date back to the mid-18th century and having a later Victorian side extension, the property is constructed from brick and part mud and stud walls. Around 20 years ago the original roof was replaced with a clay pantiled covering and has attractive dormer windows to the front and rear. This Grade II Listed cottage is situated on a generous plot of around one third of an acre (sts) with a large rear garden catching the sun throughout the day. Heating is provided by way of electric storage heaters and benefits from having a timber workshop and a large garage.

Take the second exit and after a short distance turn right. Follow the lane through the village of Tathwell to the eventual t-junction on a bend and bear left along the A153 road. Follow the road, go down Cawkwell Hill and on arriving at Scamblesby after passing the second left turning into the village the property will be found shortly on the right hand side.

Location Most of the Lincolnshire Wolds was designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (aonb) in 1973 following considerable local campaigning.
This designation means the landscape is some of Britain's finest countryside. It is a living, working landscape, with woodland, grassland and abandoned chalk pits providing important habitats for rare flowers and wildlife.
The Lincolnshire Wolds lie in the north-eastern quarter of the county of Lincolnshire, mid-way between Lincoln and the coast, surrounded by the relatively flat fens, coastal marsh and the Lincoln Clay Vale. The Wolds is the highest land in eastern England between Kent and Yorkshire – there are fine views to the Pennines in the west, and the coast to the east. The aonb comprises an area of 558 km² (216 miles²), while the wider Lincolnshire Wolds Character/Natural Area incorporates the two neighbouring areas of the 'Spilsby Crescent' to the south and the remaining chalk uplands to the north.
Scamblesby is positioned in the heart of the Wolds, approximately equidistant at 8 miles from the market towns of Louth and Horncastle, whilst Market Rasen is around 18 miles. Lincoln is about 25 miles away. The village has a primary school of excellent repute and a village pub which has been refurbished in recent times incorporating a small local shop. The market towns above provide a diverse range of shopping, leisure and sporting facilities and a choice of school including highly regarded grammar schools and academies.
National Hunt Racing takes place at Market Rasen and the area is generally popular with equestrians, tourists, motor sports and vintage car fanatics drawn to nearby Cadwell Park. The coast is around 18 miles from the village at its nearest point.
