A substantial Grade II listed four-bedroom terraced family home in Horncastle’s town centre, offered with no onward chain. The house occupies a prominent street-front position and benefits from generous internal proportions (approx. 2,146 sq ft), high ceilings and many original period features including sash windows, decorative mouldings and a bay window that give strong curb appeal.
Ground-floor accommodation is versatile: a large dining room open to a bright sitting room, conservatory, breakfast kitchen with pantry, useful utility and a snug/study. The house also includes a dedicated external workshop/store and off-street parking—practical assets for family life or a home-based business. The rear south-facing garden is unusually generous for a town-centre property, providing welcome outdoor space and good natural light.
This property suits families seeking space and character close to Horncastle’s schools, shops and amenities, or buyers targeting sympathetic refurbishment to unlock further value. Be aware the house is Grade II listed; this brings historic interest but will restrict changes and can complicate permissions and maintenance. The property appears to need some modernisation internally to meet contemporary living standards.
Practical considerations: the area records above-average crime and local deprivation indicators, which buyers should factor into their decision. Broadband and mobile signal are strong and parking is provided, but purchasers should allow time and budget for listed-building upkeep and any listed-consent work. Sold freehold and chain free, the house offers a clear route to ownership for a buyer prepared to steward a historic, characterful home.
