Seller insights “The house was formed from two nineteenth-century cottages, and it has been renovated and extended over the years. I’m a builder by profession, so I’ve added a sunroom, a summer house and a covered outdoor seating area, and converted part of the garage into a separate living space. There’s a large games room, a kitchen area, a wet room, WCs, and a sauna. This separate outbuilding is a very versatile area. It was originally intended as my home office, but my daughter ended up using it as her own space for a while. There’s plenty of scope to adapt it further, depending on how the next owners would like to use it. The countryside views are fantastic. We’ve spent many relaxed evenings sitting out on the patio, watching the sun go down over the beautiful Trent Valley below – it’s a view that you could never get tired of. The location couldn’t be better. Coleby is one of Lincolnshire’s best villages, tucked away in a quiet spot with open countryside in every direction and very little passing traffic. Yet you’re only a short drive from Lincoln, as well as the market towns of Grantham and Newark. Woodhall Spa, with its excellent range of sporting and social amenities, is a great place to visit too. The village primary school and the Tempest Arms pub are both just a short walk away from the house. The community-run pub is a real highlight – perfect for a relaxed lunch. We can thoroughly recommend the Sunday roasts. Coleby is a very social village, and you can be as involved as you like. There’s always something happening at the village hall, from baby groups and film nights to dance classes. There are regular events throughout the year, such as the summer fun day, village parties and Christmas carols on the green – complete with a visit from Santa. You’re also spoilt for choice when it comes to walking. There are some excellent dog walks right on the doorstep, and the Viking Way runs through the village. We’ve loved living in Coleby, so much so that we’re hoping to move just a mile down the road. It’s wonderfully peaceful, surrounded by beautiful scenery, yet you can be in the city in just 15 minutes.” Key Features • Attractive, characterful four-bedroom family home • Located in the sought-after village of Coleby • Perfect blend of rural living and connectivity • Far-reaching views over open countryside • Ideal for buyers seeking generous space and versatile accommodation • Finished to a high standard with quality fittings throughout • Excellent flow between living spaces, perfect for family life and entertaining • Welcoming entrance hall • Downstairs WC • Spacious living room featuring a statement fireplace and multi-fuel burner • Contemporary kitchen with extensive cabinetry and premium appliances • Two ovens (NEFF and AEG), microwave, warming drawer, wine fridge and dishwasher • Practical built-in larder and Insinkerator waste disposal unit • Generous dining room with a bay window overlooking country views • Utility room with space for appliances • Oak-framed sunroom with exposed beams • Underfloor heating in the kitchen and sunroom • Four double bedrooms, two with built-in wardrobes • Stylish family bathroom with a cast-iron slipper bath and twin sinks • Two ensuite shower rooms • Large airing cupboard • Loft (partially boarded) • Characterful summer house • Expansive covered outdoor seating area with power connections Detached two-storey outbuilding/garage: • Versatile space for a gym, home office or games room • Kitchen area, wet rooms and two WCs • Contemporary sauna • Ideal as a living space for guests or teenagers Outside: • Ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles • Low-maintenance garden with superb views • Garden store/shed and separate storage area for bikes and ladders • OHMS electric vehicle charging point • Within walking distance of the village school and pub • Thriving village community with regular events and activities • Convenient for well-regarded schools, including grammar schools • Approximately seven miles from the historic city of Lincoln • Excellent road links via the A607, A1 and A15 • Direct rail services to London are available from Lincoln Location Situated seven miles south of Lincoln, Coleby is a picturesque village perched on Lincolnshire’s Edge.
