Set on a generous plot of nearly two acres, this expansive country cottage combines historical charm with modern renovation potential. The property, with origins in the mid-17th century, has been thoughtfully extended to provide versatile living space spanning approximately 1785 sqft, predominantly on the ground floor. While well-maintained, it presents an excellent opportunity for buyers to personalize and modernize according to their taste. The residence features original character elements alongside practical updates such as a recently fitted oil-fired combi boiler for heating and hot water.
The layout includes a welcoming hallway leading into a cozy sitting room complete with an open fireplace, and an adjoining reception room that offers access via a fixed ladder to an upper area ripe for conversion into a snug or additional living space. A breakfast room retains an original range, complementing the well-equipped kitchen fitted with a range cooker. The first floor boasts two spacious double bedrooms featuring built-in wardrobes.
In addition to the main house, the extensive ground floor extension houses a large dining room, pantry, bathroom, shower room, and utility area. Outside, significant potential lies within the large garage and adjacent workshop—ideal spaces for further development subject to planning permissions.
The external grounds are another standout feature of this property, providing ample outdoor space which includes paddock land, spinney, and orchard—all enhancing the rural lifestyle of this appealing location. Nestled near the village of Heckington and accessible to amenities in Sleaford, this property is perfect for those looking to invest in a home that allows for personal touch while enjoying tranquil countryside living.
