Detached three bedroom period cottage in a secluded setting, excellent potential for modernisation, outbuilding and land of about 49.23 acres.
Keepers Cottage enjoys a wonderfully private setting amongst its own woodland in a highly desirable area approximately 1.7 miles south of Lincoln city centre. Despite its excellent connections to transport links and amenities, the setting feels distinctly rural and the land has scope for a variety of uses. The property was built in 1908 according to the original date stone, with further character features inside including the original tiled floor in the entrance hall, pantry and kitchen and fireplaces in the sitting room, dining room and two of the bedrooms. While in need of renovation, Keepers Cottage presents a fantastic opportunity to become a stunning family home.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors and is generously proportioned, with the ground floor rooms having approximately 2.8-metre-high ceilings. The two reception rooms are sizeable, with south-facing bay windows looking over the surrounding grounds and open fireplaces. The kitchen too is an excellent size and further benefits from an attached pantry, offering additional storage space, and a separate utility room accessed from the rear courtyard. The three bedrooms are all double size and are situated off a central landing with built-in storage and share a family bathroom with both bath and shower facilities.
A wonderfully secluded and unassuming entrance opens to a sweeping grassed track that leads up through post and railed paddocks to this most charming, detached cottage, set within extremely private grounds with woodland to the rear. The grounds amount to about 49.23 acres and includes mixed woodland and grassland, making the property well suited to a number of uses including equestrian or as a smallholding. To the rear of the house there is an enclosed courtyard which provides access to a wood store, utility room and outside WC. Separately there is a detached garage and garden store, with ample parking to the front. The gardens around the house are well established though would benefit from landscaping.

If you are after a property with no near neighbours and a few acres then Keepers Cottage is the stuff of dreams, I just love the post and rail driveway to this pretty cottage set in forty nine acres
