A characterful three bedroom detached home, in need of a scheme of modernisation, set back from the road and located in the heart of the popular village of Welbourn.
This attractive stone built property has the benefit of no onward chain with accommodation including a 25' lounge area with feature fireplace housing a log burner, a kitchen comprising a range of wall and base units and formal dining room with exposed brick fireplace and cast iron grate to the ground floor, with three bedrooms, bathroom and WC upstairs.
Outside, the property is approached from The Green onto a driveway which leads up to a gravelled parking area for multiple vehicles. There is a private and enclosed front lawn, complemented by a pond and seating area with an array of beds, trees and shrubs. To the side of the main house, there is also large attached outbuilding which is ideal for conversion (stp) with kennels and a secondary garden area.
Location
Welbourn is a small, attractive, conservation village lying along the Lincoln Cliff escarpment overlooking the Trent Valley with fabulous walking and cycling trails around the surrounding picturesque countryside. Its superb community centre acts as a hub for village activities, and the village is serviced by a village store and Post Office, public house and village hall, alongside playing fields and a playground with tennis court facilities. Nearby Leadenham enjoys a popular farm shop, a mere 2 minute drive from Welbourn.
A wider range of shopping, leisure, and cultural facilities is also within easy reach in the market towns of Newark (12 miles) and Grantham (14 miles), or in the historic city of Lincoln (12 miles) with its Cathedral and Castle high on the hill. For commuters, mainline train services to London or Leeds can be accessed from either Grantham or Newark – both on the A1 - where fast trains to Kings Cross take around 60 minutes and 75 minutes respectively.
Schools
The village caters for primary and secondary education, with Welbourn C of E Primary School in the centre of the village, and the Sir William Robertson Academy just south of the property along the Cliff Road. Two nationally recognised grammar schools are also within easy reach at Grantham 14 miles away, the Kesteven and Grantham Girl’s School and The King’s School (for boys). Lincoln has the Ofsted Outstanding The Priory Academy LSST and the Lincoln Minster Schools (Prep and Senior), excellent independent schools in the centre of Lincoln 12 miles away.
