Set on approximately half an acre (sts) on the edge of Bassingham, this four-bedroom detached family home combines period character with generous, flexible living spaces. The ground floor offers a welcoming entrance hall, cosy sitting room, large lounge-diner and spacious kitchen-diner, plus practical boot room, WC and separate shower room. Upstairs are four well-proportioned bedrooms, a family bathroom and a converted loft room suited for storage or occasional use.
Outside, a gated block-paved driveway leads to a triple garage and mature gardens that wrap around the house, currently used for keeping chickens — ideal for hobby farming or a self-sufficient lifestyle. The property enjoys open field views and a semi-rural setting while remaining close to village amenities including a primary school, shop, doctors’ surgery and regular bus links to Lincoln and Newark.
Important practical points are stated openly: the house is heated by an oil-fired boiler, has uPVC double glazing but solid brick walls assumed without modern cavity insulation, and carries an EPC rating of D. The property was underpinned in the 1980s under structural engineer supervision and a certificated sewage treatment plant replaced the septic system in 2017 (serviced). These works reduce key risks but buyers should review the supporting documentation and survey reports.
Note the site-specific drawbacks: the property sits in a high flood-risk area and broadband speeds are very slow — both material factors for everyday living and remote working. These issues, combined with the home's age and solid-wall construction, present opportunities and likely costs for energy upgrades and flood mitigation for long-term comfort and resilience.
