Property description

This Victorian red brick semi-detached cottage sits in the attractive village of Billingborough in the South Lincolnshire Fens about ten miles south of Sleaford and fifteen miles from Grantham to the west and Spalding to the southeast. The cottage itself was once part of a terrace of three properties which were divided into two cottages in the 1980s. The cottage has been tastefully and sympathetically refurbished, and exudes character and cosiness. There is an abundance of original beams, stripped pined doors, and fireplaces in full working order, and yet has the benefit of draught-free, low maintenance double-glazed UPVC windows. Upstairs the good-sized master bedroom with a dormer window to the rear and a quaint low window to the front features original roof timbers, as do most of the downstairs rooms. Exposed brick chimney breasts and internal yellow stone walls, the bricks of which came from a ruined eleventh century abbey at Sempringham, add to the rustic flavour of the property. Within two hundred yards of Tailors Cottage is the local park which has a play area for younger children, a skate park, tennis courts, a bowling green, football pitch and cricket grounds and pavilion. Billingborough is extremely well served with excellent facilities for a small village including a doctors' surgery and pharmacy, community gym, thriving community centre village hall with clubs such as Tae Kwon Do, art classes, amateur dramatics and Pilates to name a few. There is also a pub very popular locally for food, a well-stocked cooperative, a newsagents, two hairdressers, post office, butchers and furniture shop.
