Summary - TOP COTTAGE 2 MARKET OVERTON ROAD THISTLETON OAKHAM LE15 7RQ
3 bed 2 bath Character Property
Charming three-bed cottage with large garden and countryside views, potential to extend..
Victorian character with original features and high ceilings
A handsome Victorian country cottage on the edge of Thistleton, offering three bedrooms, generous garden and uninterrupted rural views. The house keeps much of its original charm — high ceilings, exposed floorboards and an Art Deco-surrounded log burner in the lounge — plus a large insulated conservatory that’s comfortable all year round.
Practical features include double glazing (installed since 2002), mains gas central heating, an easily accessible loft with scope for conversion, and a useful outbuilding (the Old Wash House) with power and a log burner that could be a workshop, studio or be incorporated into an extension. The kitchen, pantry and Edwardian-style shower room suit the cottage’s country character and support family life.
Notable drawbacks are factual: broadband speeds are slow, the original sandstone/limestone walls are assumed to have no insulation, and the local area records above-average crime compared with national figures. The property sits within an ageing rural neighbourhood, so services and shops are a short drive away; however, Grantham station is about 10 miles for regular commuter links.
This home suits buyers seeking period character, outdoor space and renovation or extension potential. It will particularly appeal to families or those wanting a countryside base with good travel connections, provided they accept the modest modernisation and connectivity trade-offs.
