Situated in the sought after semi rural Lincolnshire village of Searby this delightful colour washed cottage offers flexible five bedroom accommodation.

Extended from its modest 200 year old farm cottage origins the retained quintessential charm seamlessly marries with modern practicality to create a home of unique style and individual character.

A cordial welcome is immediately evident in the traditional hallway with its return staircase and exposed timber plates of the windows and is maintained in the twin aspect beamed lounge with striking fireplace and curving side bay. The separate dining room allows for more formal family celebrations whilst the well appointed kitchen – centred on the gas fired Aga – is the undoubted, relaxed heart of the home.

A series of historic extensions has provided for five first floor bedrooms – one of which benefits from en-suite facilities and a further of which is utilised as a TV/Cinema room – together with a contemporary styled family bathroom which easily caters for both guests and family alike.

The enclosed raised rear gardens are linked to the home via a broad flagged terrace – ideal for informal socialising on those long summer evenings.

Searby is beautifully situated close to the Lincolshire Wolds and enjoys excellent access to the sought after schools at Caistor, Grasby and Market Rasen. In addition to Caistor (five miles) the larger market town of Brigg lies some four miles distant and there are excellent connection to the M180 motorway network and mainline railway station at Barnetby (three miles).

The Old Post Office – easy to love.
