Hartfield House is a substantial period home on the edge of Waltham on the Wolds, set within a large, well-established plot. The house blends original Victorian character — bay windows, fireplaces and stonework — with a comprehensive 2012 refurbishment that included a full rewire, replumb and new roof. Accommodation spans four double bedrooms (two en-suites), a family bathroom and five reception rooms, offering flexible space for family life or home working.
The extended dining kitchen and separate utility provide practical family living, and the enclosed rear garden offers multiple seating areas, vegetable beds and a greenhouse. Outside, a large gravelled driveway and double garage provide extensive parking and storage. The property is freehold and sits in a peaceful village setting with fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and low local crime.
Be clear about the running costs and fabric: heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators, the energy rating is D, and the original sandstone/limestone walls are assumed uninsulated — further insulation work may be desirable. Council Tax sits in Band G, so ongoing costs are higher than average. The house was constructed before 1900, which brings period charm but also the need to consider traditional-material maintenance.
For families the location is strong: the village has a primary school rated Good, nearby outstanding options, local shops, a medical practice and community groups. Commuters benefit from good road links and a reasonably quick drive to Grantham station for services to London.
