an attractive Lincolnshire village around 10 miles between Bourne to the south and Sleaford
to the north. Road links are excellent, so too superb state schools, making this a wonderful,
characterful, family home or indeed a perfect place for anyone wanting to work from home or
even commute by train with Grantham not far away.With generous rooms upstairs and down, the property offers 4 bedrooms, a family bathroom,
a kitchen breakfast room with adjoining utility room, 2 reception rooms, as well as a separate,
fully appointed, 2 storey, 2 bedroom annex which could be a home office combined with spare
accommodation or an Airbnb. An enclosed, low maintenance, sizeable sunny garden with a
summerhouse completes this beautifully presented home
EPC Rating: EPROPERTY DESCRIPTIONPart of a former farmhouse dating to the 1600s, the oldest section is the kitchen with its
mansard roof of terracotta pantiles, whilst the handsome main façade with its Georgian sash
windows and Collyweston slate roof, belongs to an extension added in the 1800s which adjoins
its neighbour. The delightful, recently redecorated interior is full of character with overhead beams and a warmth and cosiness that welcomes you in, the spacious, dual aspect sitting room housing a log-burner in its stone fireplace. Bathrooms have all been refurbished; a timber-lined space leading off the family bathroom could be reinstated as a sauna, continued as a storage space, or indeed, turned into an en suite for the next door bedroom(subject to planning).
Storage is excellent throughout the property, with built-in wardrobes and cupboards in both
the main house and the annex.Light and spacious, the annex is a separate cottage linked by a garden wall. The ground floor
contains an almost 23 foot long, triple aspect, living dining room beside a well-appointed
kitchen. Upstairs, two double bedrooms, one with a Juliet balcony over the garden, share a
fully fitted bathroom. Whether to be used for guest accommodation, let out, or for running a
business from home, this is a superb asset to the property.The totally enclosed, south facing garden is a good size, is barely overlooked and receives
sun all day with the evening rays falling on the veranda of the brightly painted summerhouse.
A recently laid, expansive, paved terrace neatly sits between the back walls of the house
providing a large, sheltered area for outside entertaining. Some shrubs and perennials are
planted at the far end where there is also a garden shed.LOCATIONNoted in the Domesday Book of 1086 the former town of Folkingham is now a charming village situated on the A15. Sleaford is about 10 miles to the north and Bourne about 10 miles (15 mins) south, whilst the nearby A52 takes you to Grantham in around 20 minutes (13 miles) where fast trains to London take about an hour.
Peterborough is around a 35 minute drive where trains only take about 45 minutes
to King’s Cross; at both places you can pick up the A1. The historic city of Lincoln is
less than a half hour drive north.The village sits in a wide, rolling landscape situated on a hill just up from the fen edge at the bottom of the valley. The settlement is centred on the large Market Place, positioned between its church to the northwest and a former baronial castle - now remains - on low land to the southeast. In the late 18th century this whole area was remodelled by the Heathcote Family of Normanton, in Rutland. In 1968, in recognition
of its importance, this area became one of the first designated conservation areas in
Lincolnshire. Today, the New Inn is still open and serves food, there is a village store with a tea room, St. Andrew’s Church is open for worship and a playing field has a children’s play area and a football pitch. A lively village hall is a venue for meetings, groups, clubs and fitness classes.An abundance of footpaths from the village provide a wealth of walks through lovely countryside. Just 3 miles away, Billingborough offers more services including a primary school, so too Osbournby, with school buses passing through Folkingham. For secondary education, there is a wide choice of excellent state schools with Ofsted rated Outstanding Bourne Grammar School nearby and a number of popular
secondary schools including Carre’s Grammar School and Kesteven & Sleaford High School (for Girls) in Sleaford. Grantham has The King’s School (for boys) and Kesteven and Grantham Girls’ School which are rated Outstanding by Ofsted.LOCAL AUTHORITY:
