The Chestnuts is a detached four-bedroom farmhouse in the village of Alvingham, Lincolnshire, offered for sale with a guide price of £575,000. Set along a quiet no-through lane, the property has flexible family accommodation, gardens and approximately 1.7 acres of grounds, including paddock grazing and equestrian facilities. Louth is approximately four miles away.
The house has been used as a multi-generational family home and has air source heat pump central heating, solar panels and uPVC double glazing. The ground floor includes an entrance porch and utility room with windows to three sides, fitted base units, a 1½-bowl sink, washing-machine plumbing and space for a tumble dryer. The kitchen has Shaker-style units, oak work surfaces, a Bosch electric oven, electric hob and extractor, fitted microwave and space for freestanding appliances. It connects with the conservatory and rear hallway.
The conservatory overlooks the garden, manège and paddocks and has windows to three sides and double doors to the outside. The rear hallway serves the principal ground-floor rooms and includes stairs to the first floor and an understairs cupboard. A cloakroom has a wash basin, WC, heated towel rail and cupboard.
A sitting room or study overlooks the driveway and has built-in cupboards and shelving. It could be used as a snug or, if required, an occasional fifth bedroom. A ground-floor double bedroom overlooks the gardens. The main lounge has two large windows and a log burner on a slate-style hearth with a brick insert and timber mantel, with access from both the conservatory and rear hallway.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes, bedside tables, shelving and two garden-facing windows. Sliding doors and steps lead to an en-suite bathroom with a bath, wash basin and WC. Bedroom two is a double with garden views; bedroom three is a single accessed via steps down from the landing. A dressing room or box room is currently used as a playroom and can also provide storage, hobby or home-working space. The family bathroom has a vanity basin, WC, bath, separate shower cubicle, extractor fan and airing cupboard. Some first-floor ceilings are sloping. Room sizes are approximate; refer to the floor plan.
Double five-bar timber gates open onto a long gravel driveway leading to a parking and turning area with space for a horsebox or trailer. Further parking is available beside the house, and a brick-built store provides storage. Formal gardens extend around three sides of the house, with lawns, mature trees, shrub borders, a paved patio, pond, fruit bushes and a vegetable plot. There is also a potting shed and a timber garden store.
The timber stable block has two stables, each approximately 12ft x 12ft (3.6m x 3.6m), with a concrete yard and overhang. A gravel path leads to a manège measuring approximately 40m x 20m, enclosed by post-and-rail fencing with gates at both ends and surfaced with silica sand. The predominantly flat paddock grazing land is arranged in an L-shape in front of the stables and behind the manège, with post-and-rail fencing. Good hacking is available directly from the property.
Alvingham is within commuting distance of Louth, the Lincolnshire coast and the Humber Bank. Louth, approximately four miles away, has shops and local facilities as well as open-air and regular farmers’ markets. Lincoln is approximately 32 miles to the west and offers wider shopping, cultural and leisure amenities and a university.
