Summary - Skeltons Cottage, School Lane, Old Leake PE22 9NJ
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Two-bedroom edge-of-village home with garden and parking, ideal for a small household.
Two-bedroom semi-detached cottage with rural and marsh views
Skeltons Cottage is a compact two-bedroom semi‑detached home sitting on the edge of Old Leake with open rural outlooks. The main bedroom benefits from pleasant views across adjacent marsh and fields; downstairs offers a reception/dining room, kitchen, bathroom and useful storage. The plot provides space to create an attractive garden and dedicated off-street parking.
The house has clear potential for updating and improvement: solid brick walls (likely uninsulated), bottled LPG central heating and double glazing fitted after 2002. These features mean energy costs and upgrade work should be factored in. Broadband speeds are slow and there is a medium flood risk for the location.
This property suits a first home, downsizer or purchaser seeking a modest rural retreat with scope to personalise. Local amenities include a village shop, pub, café and good primary schools; road links connect easily to Skegness and Boston. Council tax is very low, which helps running costs, but the wider area shows relative deprivation and average local services.
Buyers should budget for modest renovation, potential insulation works and checking flood-cover insurance costs. Overall, the cottage offers a characterful, affordable entry into village living with genuine scope to add value through sympathetic improvements.
