“We came here in 2009 because we fell in love with the rural location overlooking farmland, the church and the hall, yet it is conveniently close to trunk roads including the A1 and the fast trains from Newark allowed me to commute to London for years. The total journey from the house to Central London is only about an hour and forty minutes.”“We also saw the potential in the property and knew it would make a really good family home. It had been empty for about a year and the garden was very overgrown so we did a lot of clearing outside and had the remaining trees professionally pruned; we also planted some fruit trees: a plum a damson and an eating apple.”“The rear extension, which forms the kitchen dining room down below and the principal bedroom above, had already been added but we created the fifth bedroom with its large en suite above the dining room to the front. We have done a number of other things including replacing all the timber-framed latticed windows, the patio doors, the soffits and fascias with double-glazed uPvc to not only allow in more light but also for low maintenance; we have re-roofed the house and installed a sun tube to shine natural light onto the landing; all the bathrooms and the utility have been completely refurbished and the property has been painted throughout.”“The garden is very colourful and alive with birds and birdsong – we have counted 52 different species – and there are huge numbers of butterflies due to all the buddleia. It’s absolutely beautiful changing through the seasons with many bulbs bringing colour in spring and some wonderful mature trees. There are chestnuts at the front, beech trees down one side and a holly hedge down the other as well as a purple maple which has a climbing rose growing through it. Lots of different David Austen roses climb on the house, the garage and along the back fence where there are also honeysuckle and specimen camellias.”“As the house faces south and east at the back the patio is a real sun trap and has a Mediterranean feel in summer. Reached through the French doors from the kitchen and the living room it is a great place for outside entertaining with the extra area beyond perfect for an exceptionally large table and chairs.”“I built the treehouse, for which we received planning permission as it is close to the perimeter, and the timber garden shed with the adjoining log-store. They are all included in the sale of the property.”“There are some very good schools in the area with a popular primary in Bassingham just a few minutes down the road and some excellent secondary schools including grammar schools, in Lincoln, Sleaford and Grantham.”“We are fortunate to have a proper traditional butcher only a mile away in Bassingham which also has excellent local stores and there are three lovely pubs within a mile of the property, The Five Bells in Bassingham being excellent, so too The Royal Oak, a 16th century pub, in Aubourn.”Services: Mains electricity, water and drainage; oil-fired central heating
