4 bed detached house for sale

High Street, Nettleham, Lincoln, Lincolnshire LN2

Pygott and Crone are delighted to present this exceptional Grade II listed detached stone cottage. Occupying an extensive plot of approximately 0.43 acres (sts), the property enjoys a truly special setting in the heart of the ever-popular village of Nettleham, with the rear boundary backing onto the historic site of the former Bishop's Palace.

Believed to date back to the 1580s, the cottage boasts a wealth of character features throughout, including original fireplaces and charming beamed ceilings, all reflecting its rich heritage. Nettleham itself is steeped in history, notably linked to the Lincolnshire Rising. The adjoining Bishop's Palace site was once an important medieval residence of the Bishops of Lincoln, and is widely associated with royal history-most notably when Edward I held court in Lincoln in 1301, at which time his son, the future Edward II, is believed to have first been proclaimed Prince of Wales. Today, the site remains a fascinating historical landmark with visible remains and interpretation boards, offering a unique and historic backdrop to the property.

The spacious and versatile accommodation briefly comprises an entrance hallway, lounge, dining room, cloakroom, and a kitchen diner with pantry. A generous extension provides an additional reception room, offering flexibility for a variety of uses. Two separate staircases lead to the first floor, which offers three to four bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Externally, the property sits within an exceptional plot extending to approximately 0.43 acres (sts), offering a wealth of potential. The grounds could be utilised for further development (subject to the necessary planning permissions), or equally enjoyed as a substantial traditional family garden, benefiting from a high degree of privacy and stunning views over the adjoining historic landscape.

Nettleham is a highly sought-after village located approximately four miles north of Lincoln. It offers a wide range of amenities, including a convenience store, public houses, infant and junior schools, a doctor's surgery, and sports clubs. The nearby A46 and A158 provide excellent access to Lincoln and Market Rasen, while regular bus services run through the village.
