3 bed property for sale

High Street, Colsterworth, Grantham NG33

The Old Forge dating back to the 1700’s, was in operation until after the Second World War, with a double storey extension being added in the Victorian era. It is now a one of a kind property, located in a desirable village, with excellent size, versatile accommodation and beautiful gardens that lead down to a private Jetty on the River Witham.
Located on the ground and lower ground floors is a lounge with beamed ceiling and Inglenook style fireplace with a log burner. This space measures 20’1” X 13’4” and is the beating heart of the house and the perfect place to relax after a hard day’s toil. There is a separate dining room, also with log burner located next to the country style kitchen which has a Range style cooker and freestanding breakfast island. The Master bedroom has a vaulted and beamed ceiling, exposed stone walls and a ladder leading up to a loft. The en-suite bathroom is modern, light and airy. There is a further bathroom and utility room also on this level.
Upstairs are two further bedrooms. The second is to the rear of the property and has amazing views over the garden and countryside. Bedroom three is at the front with a view of the village memorial and other character stone- built properties. Both bedrooms have access to the Jack and Jill shower room.
The loft which is accessible from bedroom has been converted into a craft/hobby space.
Outside is a hidden gem and the gardens are a little slice of paradise. Westerly facing and reaching all the way from the rear of the property to the River banks, there are lawn and patio areas on different levels, providing spaces to soak up the sunshine or find the shade depending on your preference! If you fancy living the Good Life then why not continue to cultivate the vegetable garden. On the River Witham is a private Jetty and decking, suspended over the waters’ edge and overlooking the countryside beyond. The owners spend much time here relaxing and watching the abundance of wildlife. There is also a store room and wooden built office.
As shingle driveway provides parking for three/four cars.
The village is a very friendly village with a variety of clubs and various village events throughout the year. The house is also only a few steps from the Church and this beautiful building including the spire can be seen from most of the property and makes a breath taking backdrop.
The surrounding countryside is extremely attractive and peaceful, Lincolnshire being famous for its vast skies. The long hedge-lined country roads around the village are perfect for exploring by bicycle or on foot. Rutland Water, just down the A1, is a favourite spot for water sports, fishing and picnics. The Easton Walled Gardens country estate is on the far side of the A1.
Very well connected, main line railway stations at nearby Grantham and at Peterborough provide frequent direct train services to London Kings Cross (68 minutes and 45 minutes respectively). Road links from Colsterworth are excellent, providing access in minutes to the market towns of Grantham and Stamford via the A1, and roads east-west run to Bourne and Melton Mowbray. The A52 links Grantham to Nottingham and Boston.
First-class schooling is on hand; in addition to the famous independent schools at Oakham, Uppingham and Oundle, with Stamford School being even closer at hand, there is a grammar school at Bourne and Newton’s own grammar school, the Kings School at Grantham, founded in 1528. The Church of England primary school in the village has a good Ofsted rating, other nearby options being at Buckminster, Great Ponton and Corby Glen, these also having good Ofsted ratings.
