A beautifully presented chocolate box country cottage, perfectly positioned just a stone's throw from Woolsthorpe Manor, the birthplace of Sir Isaac Newton, and sharing the same historic lane name.

The accommodation is particularly appealing, with two double bedrooms, a large lounge diner, well-appointed kitchen and a cosy snug with log burner, providing plenty of flexibility for modern living while retaining the character one would hope to find in such a lovely country cottage.

Adding further versatility is the converted brick storage building within the garden, which has been transformed into a highly usable studio with its own utility room and WC.

Outside, the garden is a real delight, combining charm, character and plenty of space to enjoy the south facing sunshine. A large patio creates space for both outdoor dining and relaxed seating, while the remainder of the garden provides a lovely setting for enjoying the outdoors. A large double gravel driveway completes the picture, providing off road parking.

Perfectly presented and ready to move straight into, this is a genuinely special home in a wonderfully peaceful and historic setting. With its appealing character, versatile accommodation and superb location, it offers a rare opportunity to own a charming country cottage in one of Lincolnshire's most desirable locations.

Stepping through the newly painted half-glazed front door, you are welcomed into a generous hall, immediately setting the tone for this charming home. The tiled floor is practical while soft green and classic sage tones create a wonderfully inviting first impression. A window floods the hall with borrowed light from the lounge diner, making this a particularly bright and welcoming space. There is access to the snug, downstairs shower room and kitchen, with newly carpeted stairs rising to the first floor. Practicality has been thoughtfully considered too, with three useful cupboards providing excellent storage for coats and shoes, together with a double-door understairs cupboard, perfect for housing the hoover and keeping everyday essentials neatly tucked away.

Snug

3.36m x 3.34m - 11'0” x 10'11”

A new luxury vinyl tile floor adds both style and practicality, while a recently installed window provides an abundance of natural light and a lovely outlook towards the rear of the house. A ceramic sink, integrated dishwasher and fridge freezer make excellent use of the available space, while the generous run of worktop provides plenty of room for appliances, kitchen gadgets and, of course, preparing dinner. Opening directly into the lounge diner, the kitchen also benefits from light flowing naturally through the adjoining space, making it a bright, sociable and genuinely enjoyable kitchen to work in.

Lounge Diner

4.65m x 3.8m - 15'3” x 12'6”
A beautiful and elegant lounge diner, naturally flowing from the kitchen and enjoying lovely views across the garden and patio beyond. Large windows fill the room with light, while French doors open directly onto the patio, making it wonderfully easy to step outside on warmer days and creating a lovely connection between the house and garden. Newly decorated in soft sage tones and recarpeted to complement the calm and cohesive feel of the downstairs accommodation, there is ample space for a large dining table and chairs, comfortable sofas and occasional seating, together with a television. A lovely, relaxed room with plenty of space to gather, dine and unwind, and one that feels perfectly suited to both everyday living and entertaining.

Shower Room

1.63m x 1.35m - 5'4” x 4'5”
Another thoughtful improvement by the current owners has been the addition of a curved corner shower with space efficient glazed sliding doors to the former downstairs WC, creating a very useful second bathroom. The room is beautifully finished with a low level WC, feature wash basin with gloss storage beneath and a tiled floor which flows seamlessly through from the entrance hall. Recently redecorated in soft blush pink, it is a pretty and practical room, with a south facing modesty window overlooking the garden providing natural light and ventilation. A particularly useful addition that combines style and functionality perfectly.

Landing

3.59m x 0.81m - 11'9” x 2'8”
Climb the newly carpeted stairs to the first floor landing, where a south facing window on the staircase fills the space with an abundance of natural light. Beautifully decorated, the landing provides access to both bedrooms and the main bathroom, with enough space for a small landing table and lamp to add a welcoming finishing touch. A gently sloping ceiling to one side adds further character and charm, creating a lovely transition between the rooms and continuing the warm, inviting feel that flows throughout this delightful cottage.

Bedroom 1

3.5m x 3.38m - 11'6” x 11'1”
Bedroom One is a lovely double bedroom, beautifully presented in soft blush pink tones which give the room a warm, calm and inviting feel.

Bedroom 2

3.35m x 2.37m - 10'12” x 7'9”

A cosy and welcoming bedroom, perfectly suited to guests or as a peaceful second bedroom.

Studio

3.09m x 3.03m - 10'2” x 9'11”
A fabulous addition to the property is the conversion of the former brick outbuilding, now transformed into a highly versatile room. With new French doors, windows and skylights bringing in plenty of natural light, along with practical flooring, heating and modern electrics and lighting, this is a genuinely useful space that can adapt to suit a variety of needs. Currently enjoyed as a studio and music room, it could equally lend itself to hobbies, creative pursuits, a home office or playroom. Importantly, with the benefit of the new WC, it also provides excellent potential as an occasional third guest bedroom, making this a particularly useful addition to the main accommodation. A charming and flexible space that adds another dimension to this already characterful home.

Utility Room

1.8m x 1.47m - 5'11” x 4'10”
A newly created utility room forms part of the studio conversion and has been thoughtfully designed to be both practical and attractive. Shelving and Shaker style cupboards with dark worktops provide useful storage and workspace, complemented by a stainless steel sink and ample room for both a washing machine and tumble dryer, while crisp white tiling around the sink adds a fresh finish. The practical flooring flows seamlessly through from the studio, creating a cohesive feel and making this a particularly useful addition to the versatile outbuilding.

WC

1.47m x 0.91m - 4'10” x 2'12”
A useful newly installed WC completes the studio conversion, comprising a low level WC and wash basin with built in gloss storage, ideal for keeping spare toiletries neatly tucked away. An electric heated towel rail provides both warmth to the room and a cosy supply of dry towels, while the window brings in natural light and provides welcome ventilation. A simple yet very practical addition, particularly useful when the studio is being enjoyed as guest accommodation.

Garden

This quintessentially English country garden is full of colour, charm and interest throughout the year. The pretty picket fencing defines the boundaries, keeping pets safely enclosed, while meandering gravel and stepping stone paths lead naturally through the garden towards the front door, taking in several delightful seating areas along the way. The patio adjoining the lounge diner and studio provides the perfect spot for al fresco dining and entertaining, with a pergola creating a semi sheltered area. A particularly charming feature is the rose covered archway, forming a beautiful walkway from the front door towards the studio and adding to the romantic character of the garden. A gate leads to the large gravel driveway, while a low picket gate provides access from the lane towards the front door. Private yet open enough to enjoy the lovely views beyond, this is a garden to be enjoyed, offering a wonderful setting for relaxing, entertaining and spending time with family and friends.
