This attractively presented Victorian family home sits in the heart of Scotter village, offering generous living space across four double bedrooms and three reception rooms. Period features such as sash windows, bay fronts and original Minton tiled hall floor blend with practical modern upgrades — a fitted kitchen with Rangemaster, underfloor heating and a 2018 boiler — to deliver comfortable, versatile family living.
The large, mature rear garden is a major asset: private lawns, fruit trees, a pergola, brick outbuildings with power and plumbing, and a rare Anderson shelter that could be used for storage or converted to a wine store. Off-street parking at the rear is accessed via a shared driveway, and there appears to be scope to erect a garage if required.
Buyers should note the house’s age and traditional construction: solid brick walls (no known cavity insulation) and sash windows mean there may be higher running costs compared with modern builds and potential for retrofit work. The property is freehold, in a very affluent area with low crime and fast broadband, and lies close to village amenities and local schools — attractive for families seeking village life with good transport links to Gainsborough.
Overall, this is a spacious, characterful family home with a large private garden and useful outbuildings. It will suit buyers looking for a picturesque village property with room for practical improvements and potential to personalise or upgrade energy performance over time.
