House For Sale £375,000
The Coach House is a unique, two bedroomed home set over three floors which has been stylishly converted from the original coach house of Coleby Hall. The property stands in a quiet, private and exclusive setting with fantastic views from the upper floors over the Trent Valley. Coleby is one of a limited number of cliff villages which offer residents breath-taking countryside walks.
The property is a short drive of 10 to 15 minutes from the Cathedral City of Lincoln, and 25 minutes from the market town of Newark-on-Trent from where London Kings Cross Station is accessible in just over an hour, on the East Coast Mainline Service. The A1 and A46 cross at Newark providing easy road access to the Midlands, the North and South.
“The property is totally unique with gorgeous architecture. The ceilings on the ground and first floors are so high, and it has been beautifully fitted with deep skirtings and splendid broken pediments over some of the doorways, with bespoke bookshelves in the living room and a tall, individually designed mirror in the dining room to match. The turret clock on the outside of the property has the wind-up mechanism accessed from inside the second bedroom.”
“It’s lovely to approach through the quite grand entrance, down the tree-lined drive, into a private oasis of quiet at the end of a long day. It makes the perfect bolt-hole.”
“When it was converted in the 1980s, the main Hall was divided into three residences. There are a further two properties that were converted from the stables that flank The Coach House, whilst the former farm office and outbuildings make a total of eight properties in this exclusive development. All the residents are lovely, friendly, and respectful of one another’s privacy whilst always looking out for one another. It generates a great sense of security.”
“The kitchen which leads to the dining room has an oak floor and coral granite worktop. The fitted units incorporate a dishwasher, a fridge, a freezer, an eye-level oven, and an induction hob with a modern extractor over. A washing machine sits below the worktop. In the porch area from the dining room, between the internal French doors and the arched coach house door, there are sockets so you could install a tumble dryer if required.”
“I use the smaller bedroom – in which we previously had a double bed – as an office. I have to steal myself away from the stunning views out of the big Velux window where you can see for miles over the Trent Valley. Another semi-circular window on the landing has the same aspect to the West - photographs don’t do it justice and you really need to witness the views and sunsets for yourself to fully appreciate the panorama!”
“It is ideal for working from home as the property enjoys fibre broadband which was recently installed and provides fast internet speeds. Travelling to London, as I do, is also convenient and straightforward: About a 25-minute drive to Newark station where you can join the East Coast Mainline service to Kings Cross which takes approximately 75 minutes.”
“The garden is deliberately low maintenance and is a charming sun trap in the summer. It’s fully enclosed with 6-foot-high fencing and a gate at the rear which allows access to the garage. The garden is laid with gravel and paving with a dining area on the raised portion. It’s such a lovely place to enjoy the surrounding wildlife.”
“The walks around here are fabulous with breath-taking and far-reaching views. You can walk along The Viking Way in both directions with Lincoln to the North, and Navenby a two-mile walk to the South. It’s a lovely Sunday morning walk especially in summer, with Navenby having an array of local shops and services including a bakery, a tea shop and take-away restaurants amongst others. Coleby itself has a very good primary school, a community pub, The Tempest, which serves food, and there’s a popular village hall and playing fields with daily activities.”
An attractive Lincolnshire Cliff village, Coleby is situated along the A607,7 miles from the City of Lincoln, with its Cathedral Quarter which encompasses the Castle, and offers history, culture and cuisines along its cobbled streets. The newly transformed Cornhill Quarter provides excellent shopping facilities and complements the main precinct.

Coleby is an ancient village which has known Roman, Saxon and Danish settlers before the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Church of All Saints, at its heart, dates to Anglo-Saxon times. It has a thriving community which hosts a wide variety of events and has a small but excellent village school and a local community pub, The Tempest Arms which sits on the cliff edge and from its garden provides patrons with stunning views across the Trent Valley.
