A fine five-bedroom detached house with attractive, flexible living space and sunny gardens, set in a desirable position in the village of Bassingham.
The Old Rectory is an outstanding detached period house, offering a wealth of beautifully appointed accommodation. It features red-brick and exposed timber-framed elevations, while inside the interiors are elegantly understated throughout.
The ground floor provides a superb selection of reception spaces, including an impressive sitting room and adjoining garden room, arranged in a semi open-plan layout extending from the front to the rear of the house. The sitting room features an ornate cast-iron fireplace with decorative tiled detailing, while the oak framed garden room displays exposed oak beams and eaves, panoramic glazing, a corner log burner and double doors opening to the rear garden. A further beautifully presented reception room offers a more intimate space in which to relax, while the open-plan kitchen, dining and family room forms the heart of the home. The kitchen is fitted with farmhouse-style cabinetry and a range cooker, complemented by ample space for dining and informal seating. To the rear, a seating area beneath a roof lantern is bathed in natural light, with bi-fold doors opening on to the garden. An adjoining utility room provides further storage and space for laundry appliances.
A galleried first-floor landing provides access to four beautifully presented double bedrooms and a family bathroom, fitted with both a bath and a separate shower. The second floor is dedicated to the principal bedroom suite, which benefits from an en suite shower room. Above the detached garage, provides excellent ancillary accommodation, comprising a guest bedroom and an en suite shower room.
The property features delightful south-facing gardens to the rear, while at the front, a gated entrance opens to a gravel driveway, and access to the detached double garage, with its home gym/study to the side and bedroom above. The gardens include a sunny patio area at the back of the house, with a lawn beyond, which is dotted with mature trees, shrubs, hedgerows and colourful flowering perennials. A grassy meadow at the end of the plot has a ground-mounted solar panel installation and backs on to open fields.

The Old Rectory is undoubtedly one of my all-time favourite family homes that we have had the pleasure of marketing. Beautifully presented throughout, it combines elegant living with superb entertaining spaces, all designed for modern family life. The property is further enhanced by its large, established south-facing garden and an enviable position within one of the finest villages to the south of Lincoln, making it a truly exceptional home.
