Summary - TENNYSON HOUSE WILLINGHAM ROAD KEXBY GAINSBOROUGH DN21 5ND
3 bed 2 bath Cottage
Characterful rural home with generous garden and versatile living spaces.
Detached 3-bedroom period cottage dating from 1874
Tennyson House is a detached period cottage set in a generous plot on the edge of Kexby, offering traditional charm and practical family space. Original features such as exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and a characterful layout give the house its distinctive rural feel, while the large 19ft dining kitchen and separate sitting and lounge rooms provide flexible living and entertaining areas.
Outdoor space is a major asset: a gated gravel driveway offers extensive off-street parking and hardstanding for multiple vehicles, a raised garden delivers pleasant open views across the surrounding countryside, and a substantial detached outbuilding (22'10" x 9'9") adds storage or workshop potential. The property benefits from gas central heating, good mobile signal and fast broadband — practical positives for modern daily life in a village setting.
There are some practical points to note. The EPC is rated E, so energy efficiency improvements may be needed to reduce running costs. The house is a Victorian/period build (circa 1874), so buyers should expect period-era maintenance and should budget for typical ongoing upkeep rather than a newly built finish. Council tax is moderate and there is no flood risk.
Overall, this is a sizeable, characterful cottage for buyers who value rural views, versatile living space and a large plot. It will suit families or those looking for a countryside base close to Gainsborough, and it offers clear potential for improvement to increase comfort and efficiency over time.
