Summary - SOUTHVIEW COTTAGE, 31 SOUTH CLIFF ROAD KIRTON IN LINDSEY GAINSBOROUGH DN21 4NR
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Versatile five-bedroom Georgian house with extensive reception space and gated grounds.
Over 5,000 sq ft of flexible period living space
Set behind electrically operated wrought-iron gates, Southview Cottage is a substantial Georgian/Victorian residence offering over 5,000 sq ft of adaptable family living. Period features—high ceilings, sash and bay windows, decorative cornices and original fireplaces—are retained throughout, with large reception rooms that open onto a raised patio and mature, well-established gardens. The house includes a formal dining kitchen by Clive Christian, an orangery/family room with lantern roof, and dedicated office leading to an entertainment suite.
Accommodation is arranged over multiple floors and will suit a family needing generous space or a buyer seeking a live/work arrangement. Five bedrooms include two ensuite suites plus a dressing room and fitted wardrobes; living space includes five reception rooms, a bar, snooker/games room and extensive storage. Practical rooms include two Worcester combination boilers, a sizable utility and converted former garage used as store space.
Buyers should note material negatives plainly: the building is solid brick with no assumed cavity insulation, so energy efficiency upgrades are likely required. The plot is described as very small for a property of this scale, and the former garage has been repurposed, which may limit covered parking. Council Tax is in Band G and described as quite expensive. While the house is very large and largely preserved, some areas will benefit from selective modernisation to suit contemporary living and efficiency targets.
Situated in Kirton-in-Lindsey, the property offers easy access to local shops, healthcare and schools; public transport links reach Gainsborough, Scunthorpe and Lincoln. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale, layout flexibility and period detail on offer.
