Set on about 1.3 acres, this detached Victorian-style cottage offers rural space and privacy just over a mile from Wainfleet. Two double bedrooms and three reception rooms provide flexible living — ideal for someone wanting country lifestyle with nearby town amenities. Mature gardens, a small copse and a grass paddock create scope for hobby farming, pony keeping or extensive gardening.
The plot includes numerous useful outbuildings: multiple sheds, a brick workshop, garage, covered carport, outside WC and a store/boiler house. Double glazing was installed post-2002 and the house uses an oil-fired boiler and radiators, which suits off-grid heating needs but requires ongoing oil costs and servicing.
Practical drawbacks to note: the EPC is rated F and the property sits in a high flood-risk area — flood resilience and insurance costs should be investigated. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is only average, so remote working will need planning. The local area records higher deprivation measures, and some rooms show dated features suggesting renovation is needed rather than a move-in condition.
For buyers seeking space, character and outbuildings in a peaceful lane with only one nearby neighbour, this cottage offers strong potential. Those prioritising low running costs, high-speed connectivity or flood-free ground may prefer other locations.
