Welcome to Messingham Lane, Greetwell – a four-bedroom detached family home occupying a generous plot of just under one third of an acre.
This individual property offers a fantastic opportunity for those seeking a spacious home with the scope to modernise and extend (subject to planning), creating a truly bespoke residence tailored to your needs. A brand-new boiler was fitted in August 2024 and benefits from a two-year warranty, providing peace of mind from the outset.
Step inside via the charming front entrance into a welcoming hallway featuring original tiled flooring that adds character and warmth. The heart of the home is the generous open-plan lounge diner, with a front-facing bay window and an archway opening between the two areas. A glazed door from the dining area leads into the conservatory at the rear, which enjoys lovely garden views and opens onto the decked seating area via French doors. The spacious kitchen is dual aspect and benefits from a second entrance into the conservatory as well as a side access door. It offers ample wall and base units, generous worktop space, an integrated oven and hob, and space for additional appliances.
Also on the ground floor is a versatile side extension – ideal for multi-generational living or working from home. This flexible space includes a front lounge with bay window, a rear bedroom, and a central bathroom, making it suitable for use as a self-contained annexe, home office, playroom, or craft space.
Upstairs, the property offers two good-sized double bedrooms, a single bedroom, and a family bathroom with corner bath and separate shower cubicle.
Step outside, and the front garden is laid to lawn with mature planted borders and a turning space within the ample driveway. The driveway continues down the side of the house, providing access to a detached tandem garage with further parking available. The rear garden is a true highlight – beautifully arranged with a decked seating area off the conservatory, a central lawned area leading to a charming pond and mature trees, and a final section beyond the pond ideal for use as a vegetable plot or allotment. This area also benefits from a brick outbuilding and greenhouse, perfect for keen gardeners or those looking for additional outdoor storage or workspace.
Location – Greetwell is a peaceful hamlet located just outside the highly regarded village of Scawby, offering a desirable semi-rural lifestyle while remaining close to everyday conveniences.

The area also benefits from easy access to nearby market towns such as Brigg and Scunthorpe, as well as excellent road links to Lincoln, Doncaster, and the wider motorway network, making it ideal for commuters. Surrounded by beautiful countryside, Greetwell offers a perfect balance of tranquillity and accessibility.
