Sunset Cottage is a spacious, characterful detached home set on a large private plot in semi-rural Gipsey Bridge. Rooms are generously proportioned with a flexible layout: a large lounge-diner with wood-burning stove, a second ground-floor reception that could serve as a bedroom, a stunning kitchen-diner and useful utility and shower rooms. Mature gardens, multiple outbuildings (garage, workshop, summer house) and gated driveway parking for several vehicles add practical family convenience and scope for hobby use.
The house is older (pre-1900) and retains solid brick construction and period character, which brings charm but also practical considerations. The property has double glazing fitted before 2002, no presumed wall insulation, an electric-fuelled boiler and radiators and an EPC rating of D. These factors mean buyers should budget for energy improvements and potential insulation work to reduce running costs and improve comfort.
Set in a quieter hamlet environment with low crime, the location suits buyers seeking countryside privacy with some accessible local schooling — Gipsey Bridge Academy and The Boston Grammar School are nearby. The plot size and outbuildings also present clear renovation and extension potential for those wanting to increase living space or create an income-generating area, though planning checks are advised.
Practical drawbacks to note: the property sits in a medium flood-risk area, broadband and mobile signal are average, and the wider area records higher deprivation metrics. A survey is recommended to confirm structural and insulation needs, and to plan any required modernisation. Viewing is essential to appreciate the scale and scope of the house and grounds.
