House For Sale £560,000
A well-presented, exceptionally light and airy house built in 1950 with either 3 or 4 bedrooms and 2 or 3 reception rooms, sits in the most delightful spot at the end of a lane in the popular Lincolnshire village of Brant Broughton. Perhaps its most appealing feature is the large, wraparound garden that stretches down to open farmland and encompasses bountiful orchards with a total plot size of circa half an acre. Countryside walks are in abundance and for anyone with a fondness for nature and wildlife, this is an idyllic place to live.
The village’s facilities, including a primary school, are all within walking distance and the A17 trunk road is not far, providing excellent links to the A1 and Newark, 8 miles west, whilst Grantham is 10 miles south with a fast train service to London taking around an hour, making a commute perfectly feasible.
“Although we have only been here four years, the property has everything we could wish for and more; we’ve been so happy here and are sorry to leave but our son’s family is moving some distance away with our first and only grandchild and we need to be near them. The property is in a very secluded, tranquil setting, we are not overlooked and have fields on three sides, but it is only a hundred metre walk from the village high street. Everyone is so cheery and friendly, such nice people – I don’t know what they have been eating - perhaps it is living here!”
“In addition to all these assets, it is a hundred per cent safe for all our cats which is a really big factor for us; they have hedges and trees to play in and lots of space to roam. We felt especially lucky during the various lockdowns with all the space both inside and out.”
“To one side, there is a far-reaching view to the ridge, that is, the Lincolnshire ‘cliff’, the limestone escarpment that runs down the middle of the county – it looks so lovely in all weathers. The front garden is mainly grass and is so large that we are able to play croquet and badminton on it at the same time.”
“We have found the house is so well built that it is easy to keep warm in winter but also cool in summer. With three outside doors, two of them French ones, when it’s hot, we keep them all open which creates a lovely through draught. On the other hand, in winter, we turn on the Rayburn which makes the kitchen really warm and cosy. Another thing that attracted us to the house was that each room is really spacious and, apart from the smallest bedroom and the bathroom, they are all double aspect providing lots of natural light; we receive the sun all day as it rises on one side and sets on the other. There are plenty of places to sit outside to capture it whatever the time of day.”
“We are the last house at the bottom of the lane so it is especially quiet and it’s lovely to have the gardens completely surrounding the house. Normally it is a riot of colour throughout the spring and summer but of course the drought this year has rather spoiled that! It’s large enough for us to enjoy a stroll around and also excellent for entertainment whether for barbecues or garden parties with all ages appreciating the space and setting. We introduced the wildlife pond, full of interest, where there is a paved area to sit, and we have so many birds such as garden songbirds, lesser spotted woodpeckers, which nested here this year, and green woodpeckers, also birds of prey. It’s lovely to pick out the different sounds and try and identify them. We have lots of hedgehogs too with evidence they’ve been using the houses we made for them.”
“We particularly like the orchard which we purchased after coming here. It holds about thirty very old apple, pear and plum trees and is so picturesque and especially beautiful in the spring with various shades of abundant pink and white blossom. I love the wiggly old branches and so do the cats which jump from branch to branch – it’s just like a big gymnasium for them! There’s another little orchard near one of the back doors which has about six fruit trees so we have plenty of autumn harvest. If wandering around the orchards and gardens isn’t enough, there are lots of footpaths with really nice walks from the village, one leading to the Viking Way which stretches for miles along the ‘cliff’ and beyond.”
