A detached three- or four-bedroom period home on approximately 3.5 acres in Keal Cotes, near Spilsby. Understood to date from the mid-1800s, with later additions, the house requires renovation and modernisation throughout. The grounds include mature gardens, a rear grazing paddock and a range of outbuildings. The property is offered for sale with no upward chain at a price guide of £425,000.
The accommodation spans two floors, with three first-floor bedrooms and a ground-floor reception room that could be used as a fourth bedroom. There is partial double glazing and no central heating. The entrance hall has tiled flooring and leads to the recently refitted ground-floor bathroom, which has a bath, wash hand basin and WC.
The dual-aspect ground-floor reception room can serve as a sitting room, home office or fourth bedroom. The kitchen has ceiling beams and a rear-facing window overlooking the garden and outbuildings. There is no fitted kitchen; a solid range cooker remains in place and is understood not to be working. Stairs rise from the kitchen to the first floor, while an archway leads to the lounge, which has a front-facing window, exposed ceiling beams and an open fireplace with tiled hearth and wooden mantel.
The kitchen also leads to stores, a rear entrance lobby, a utility room and a separate WC. Upstairs, the principal double bedroom has dual-aspect windows to the front and side. Bedroom two is a rear-facing double with a hot water tank cupboard, and bedroom three is rear-facing and could also be used as a dressing room or study. Room sizes are approximate; refer to the floor plan for details.
Gated access from Main Road leads to a generous parking area with space for multiple vehicles. The house and outbuildings stand towards the western end of the site, with mature gardens, established trees and hedging. A mature hedge separates the gardens from the enclosed rear grazing paddock, which has hedged boundaries.
The outbuildings include a garage of approximately 7.5m x 5.6m (24'7" x 18'4"), suitable for vehicle parking, workshop or storage use; an open-fronted cattle shed of approximately 24m x 18m (78'9" x 59'1"); a former chicken shed of approximately 11.5m x 5m (37'9" x 16'5"); a six-bay open barn/store of approximately 26m x 9m (85'4" x 29'6"); and a further store. The buildings offer storage and ancillary-use potential. Smallholding or equestrian use may be possible, subject to any necessary consents.
The total site extends to approximately 3.5 acres, about 1.4 hectares. The property has open field views to two sides and lies on the periphery of the Wolds.
Keal Cotes is a village on the A16, with The Coach House pub in the village and other public houses nearby. Spilsby’s services and amenities are close by, while Horncastle, Boston and Skegness are accessible by car.
