This three-storey period cottage in the heart of Barrowby blends original character with recent sympathetic renovation. The ground-floor shaker-style kitchen and first-floor sitting room both show exposed stone and timbers, while the master suite occupies the vaulted second-floor eaves for a spacious, private retreat. The property will suit buyers who value period detail, village life and convenient road and rail links to Grantham and beyond.
Practical benefits include a modern bathroom, updated kitchen with integrated appliances, double glazing and an allocated off-street parking space tucked into a small shared courtyard. The southerly aspect to the front courtyard gives a sunlit outdoor space that’s low maintenance and private — ideal for buyers wanting village convenience without large gardens to manage.
Notable considerations are factual and important: the house is a solid-brick, pre-1900 build with assumed no cavity insulation in the walls, and accommodation is arranged over three floors with several staircases — not ideal for limited mobility. The courtyard and parking are shared with other dwellings, with a one-fifth shared maintenance responsibility and associated costs. The garden/forecourt is modest rather than expansive.
Location is a strong selling point: central village position within a conservation area near an outstanding primary school, local amenities and good transport links. For families, first-time buyers or those downsizing who appreciate character and low-external-maintenance living, this cottage offers a rare blend of period charm and ready-to-live-in finish.
