This detached three-bedroom cottage in Langworth is a substantial renovation project with clear potential. Set on just over 0.25 acres, the large plot and mature gardens provide scope for extension, landscaping or outbuildings (subject to planning). Internally the home offers over 1,600 sq ft of generous rooms and a conservatory — a flexible canvas for creating an adaptable family layout.
The property retains characterful features and benefits from uPVC double glazing, but it requires significant updating throughout. Heating is by dual fuel (mineral and wood) and room heaters; the condition and efficiency of the heating system should be confirmed. The stone/limestone walls are likely uninsulated and the home will need refurbishment works and modernisation to meet contemporary standards.
Practical considerations for buyers: the house is offered freehold via a modern method auction with no onward chain. Successful bidders must pay an auction reservation fee (4.2% incl. VAT, subject to minimum) and complete on the timescales set by the auction terms. The property is in a village location with average local services, slow broadband and average mobile signal — factors to note for home working or streaming.
A significant negative is the high flood risk for this address. Prospective buyers should obtain specialist flood, insurance and drainage advice and review the legal pack carefully. For families seeking a long-term project, or investors prepared to manage renovation and flood-mitigation measures, this site offers strong scope to create a distinctive home in a peaceful Lincolnshire village.
