Seller insights “When we first visited the property, we were immediately struck by the peace and tranquility but, equally, the location is not isolated at all. Thorpe St Peter is very close to amenities in the neighbouring town of Wainfleet and also to the market town of Spilsby.” “We’ve completed a great deal of work within the property, including adding a new kitchen and bathrooms. The layout is very flexible so you could easily adapt the study and snug at the front of the house for other uses. There’s a loft space above the kitchen, which could also be converted into additional living space, subject to planning permission.” “The main living spaces are very light and airy, with the living room flowing into the large conservatory at the back of the property. The conservatory is a favourite place of ours – we use this space a lot in the summer, spring and autumn months.” “Upstairs, the bedrooms are all a good size, with stunning views of the gardens and the surrounding fields. It’s an idyllic location.” “The outbuildings offer huge potential – for immediate use or for conversion into a single-story annexe or living space. We’ve used the 39-ft workshop to run a small business. The workshop has handy shelving and benches, so it’s a very practical space for DIY or business use. There is a pretty courtyard area immediately outside the outbuildings, which would provide excellent space for business networking or entertaining.” “The gardens wrap around the property, leading down to open fields. So, it’s a very secluded garden, screened by mature plants and trees. The garden is arranged into different areas, with a large lawn, flowerbeds and several lovely seating areas.” “There’s a great deal of scope to put your own mark on the garden. The field could be developed further – either as an extended part of the garden or for other recreational uses.” “Thorpe St Peter is very friendly. We have dogs, so we’re often out and about in the village and the surrounding area. We’re always stopping for chats with other locals. You’ll find a lovely community here.” “A big attraction is just how quiet the roads are. It’s a wonderful place for walking. There’s a nice three-mile route from the village. You can also take a lovely stroll to the Old Chequers Inn pub, which is 15 minutes away on foot.” “This area is fantastic for nature lovers and bird watchers. There are several nature reserves locally, including Gibraltar Point and Freiston Shore, which is the UK’s largest estuary for birds. You also have Skegness, which is more of a traditional seaside resort, with a lovely beach, as well as numerous family attractions and eateries. There’s something for everyone in this area.” “In terms of shopping, there’s a Co-op in Wainfleet where you can get all the essentials. Further afield, Skegness has all the major supermarkets and plenty of leisure amenities. Boston is also a great place to visit.” “We’ve loved living in Lincolnshire. We’re moving closer to family, but we wish we could take the house and the area with us, as it’s just such a lovely place to live!” Services: Mains water and electricity; private drainage; oil-fired central heating Local Authority: East Lindsey District Council Council Tax Band: C EPC: D Freehold
