Set on a substantial 4.52-acre plot on the edge of Withern, this four-bedroom detached house offers roomy, flexible living for families who value space, privacy and country views. Ground-floor accommodation includes three airy reception rooms — a formal dining room, a sitting room/study with a brick fireplace, and a main reception with an open fireplace and French doors to the south-facing garden. The well-equipped kitchen features bespoke wooden units, a central island and an Aga.
Upstairs are four double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with built-in wardrobes and an en suite. The family bathroom includes a freestanding bathtub, dual basins and a separate shower. Outside there is a generous gravel driveway, detached double garage, greenhouse, summer house, vegetable beds and mature borders backing onto open fields — ideal for children, pets and gardeners.
Practical factors to note: the property is oil-heated (oil-fired boiler and radiators) and currently graded EPC D, which may mean higher running costs than gas alternatives. The site lies in a high flood-risk area and there is a development restriction on the land; buyers should obtain specialist advice and insurance quotes early. Council tax banding is described as expensive. A public footpath runs alongside the site.
This home will suit families seeking peaceful rural living within reach of Alford and Louth, with good local primary and secondary schools nearby and easy access to walking and riding routes in the Lincolnshire Wolds. For buyers wanting a roomy plot, versatile internal space and strong village character, the property presents a rare countryside opportunity — subject to the practical considerations above.
