Property description
A true 'chocolate box' style country cottage, positioned on delightful country lane with open fields behind and opposite a tributary of the 'Steeping river'. The House offers plenty of family sized accommodation to make either a beautiful family home or even a rather special holiday home 'near the sea', with plenty of scope for alteration or personalisation. The entrance hall is large enough to use as a room in itself with an adjacent cloakroom. In turn there is a 42' long main reception room full of exposed beams, divided into the two main reception rooms - a lounge with large Inglenook style fireplace and a similarly spacious dining room also with a slightly smaller Inglenook style fireplace. These rooms lead through to the kitchen and garden room respectively and then out onto the rear patio & garden. Upstairs there are four well sized bedrooms of which two have en-suite shower rooms, one has an adjoining cloakroom as well as the large well appointed family bathroom. Outside, there are established gardens to the front and back with lawns and all stocked with mature plants, bushes, shrubs & trees. Benefits of the house include oil central heating & majority double glazing. The position of the house is approx 2 miles from the centre of the well served village of Wainfleet, with shops, pubs & amenities as well as being only around 8 miles to the thriving seaside town of Skegness. Viewing is a must!
