Set on a very large, well-tended plot in the sought-after village of Aubourn, The Old Forge is a spacious 4/5-bedroom detached character home that combines period features with flexible family living. Reception rooms with exposed beams and a brick hearth provide authentic cottage charm, while the generous floor area (approx. 2,841 sq ft) gives ample space for children, home-working and extended family life.
The detached historic outbuilding (the former forge) and separate garage present clear development potential for a home office, annexe or holiday let, subject to planning. Gardens are private and mature, and the gravel drive offers multiple parking spaces — a rare asset in a village location. The property is within easy walking distance of the well-regarded village pub and has straightforward road links to Lincoln.
Practical points to note: the house is of solid brick construction (pre-1900) and is assumed to lack cavity-wall insulation, which may mean higher running costs or upgrade work to improve thermal performance. Broadband speeds are slow in the area and council tax banding is above average. There are no known flood risks and the property is freehold with mains gas central heating.
This home will suit families seeking character, space and outdoor privacy in a peaceful rural setting, or buyers looking for a property with clear refurbishment and development opportunities. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the plot, room proportions and the potential of the outbuilding.
