House For Sale £895,000
A highly individual, brand new, executive home set over 3 floors with 5 generous bedrooms, 2 en suite, fitted to a very high specification, exudes sophistication and contemporary style that beautifully connects the inside with the outside. In a new development in the little village of Thorpe on the Hill about 7 miles southeast of Lincoln, it backs onto Whisby Nature Park, is close to the primary school, and takes about 15 minutes to drive to the Lincoln train station where there are direct services to London and elsewhere.
Location
The brand new property sits in a new development of 11 houses down a no through lane from Lincoln Lane in the small village of Thorpe on the Hill. Overlooking the local primary school playing fields to the front and attractive mature trees along the rear boundary in Whisby Nature Park, it is a peaceful spot, ideal for a family. A footpath directly behind the property takes you, within minutes, into the nature reserve with its Natural World Centre, a wonderful, dog-friendly expansive area to exercise whether by foot or on bicycles. Once a gravel pit, it is now managed by Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust to encourage a variety of birds and wildlife, and offers six different trails around Whisby’s famous ponds and lakes, as well as linking with Tunman Wood which has existed as woodland since at least 1774, making all this a truly fantastic asset to have on your doorstep.
Hykeham Sailing Club is located on one of the larger nearby lakes, Lincoln Golf Club is within walking distance, so too Lake View Restaurant which has 5-star reviews, whilst The Railway Inn pub and restaurant on the outskirts of Thorpe on the Hill also has top star reviews and offers rooms.
The well served village of North Hykeham is only a couple of miles away with a wide range of shopping and amenities including a superb new medical centre, whilst its train station is on the Nottingham to Lincoln Central line. As well as to other parts of the country, Lincoln Central station (about 7 miles/15 mins) provides direct train services to London, or from Newark (10 miles/15 mins southwest) taking 70 minutes to Kings Cross. The historic city of Lincoln offers everything you would expect from a major city with its spectacular 11th century Cathedral and the Castle at the heart of the cultural Cathedral Quarter which includes the popular and quaint Bailgate shopping area.
Easy access to the A46 Newark Road provides excellent road links to central Lincoln to the northeast and the A1 South at Newark to the southwest, as well as connecting with the A15 and then the M180 motorway network and Humberside Airport. The A1 North can be picked up at Markham Moor about 25 minutes away.
