Seller Insights
“We came here just over six years ago for a number of reasons, with the location being of prime importance. Not only is it within easy reach of Lincoln but the schools in the area are excellent, also the position of the property is very quiet down a private lane and we loved that it had a tennis court!”
“One of the main improvements we have made since coming here is adding the solar panels and installing battery storage which enables you to store any spare electricity you have generated for use throughout the year. We have found from May to September we generate and store enough electricity to keep us off grid. For the winter months we charge the battery overnight using OctopusGo at a cost of approximately £1.50 or less to fully charge the battery, so it makes for a very economical home.”
“Other things we have done include fitting a new en suite to the master bedroom, forming the boot room that connects the cinema and garage to the house, creating the cinema room with its proper dropped ceiling, and fitting LED lighting. Outside, we have completely reinstated the tennis court and, at one end, constructed a decked, sitting area under a pergola.”
“There is so much space here, the kitchen is so well appointed and the easy flow between spaces and out onto the garden all make it perfect for entertaining, especially in summer.”
“The family room has, for us, made an excellent games room and gym area. There is an entrance door from the drive into this room, wide enough for wheelchair access, in fact all the internal doors in this area are extra wide with this in mind, even the wet room behind is perfect for anyone with limited mobility.”
“The self-contained annex has two double bedrooms, a large living room with a kitchen at one end, and a bathroom with a bath and a separate shower. It is ideal for young adult children wanting their independence, or for elderly parents wishing to live alongside their family.”
Location
The location is quiet and peaceful down a private road running alongside Nettleham Beck, and for those wanting fresh air and exercise, if not playing tennis, there are numerous beautiful walks and cycle rides through woodland and beside lakes featuring a world of wildlife habitats on the doorstep. A lively community, at the entrance to the lane is a village hall, playing fields and a hard tennis court. There is an Anglican church, a village shop with a post office, a garden centre with a café, and a hairdresser, all within walking distance. Larger shops and medical centres are in Nettleham less than 3 miles away and Welton about 4 miles.
There is plenty to do in the area whether seeking an urban or rural environment. Historic Lincoln with its magnificent cathedral and castle on the hill, and the popular Bailgate for independent shops, restaurants and cafes, is only 5 miles (10 mins) a direct route southwest along the nearby A158, and the Lincolnshire Wolds, designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is about 12 miles (15 mins) in the other direction, with the east coast beyond.
For reaching London, although there are direct trains from Lincoln station, a half hour drive to Newark to the southwest, followed by a fast train to Kings Cross (approx. 80 minutes) means a total journey time, door to door, into central London of about 2 hours. At Newark, you can also pick up the A1 Southbound, or a similar distance at Markham Moor Northbound.
Schools
The property lies in an area with a choice of excellent schools for primary and secondary education, all within easy reach. Ellison Boulters Academy Primary in Scothern is the closest less than 3 minutes by car, and Reepham C of E Primary is about a 4 minute drive, with both rated Outstanding by Ofsted.
The property is in catchment for William Farr C of E Comprehensive in Welton less than 10 minutes away (5 miles) rated Outstanding by Ofsted. On the southern edge of Lincoln, The Priory Academy lsst is also rated Outstanding, and is 13 minutes (7.4 miles). On the main bus route to Horncastle, about 20 minutes by car (16 miles), the popular Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School is also rated Outstanding. In the private sector, the extremely highly regarded Lincoln Minster Schools (Prep and Senior) are around 10 minutes away in the city centre.
