After being the village police house, the property had been lived in by the same family since the late 50s when they purchased it off what was then Lindsey Council, becoming empty around 2015. We bought in 2018 and spent three years renovating it.”“It was quite a project; we took it back to brick in every room and lifted all the floors downstairs. We kept all the existing original features such as the shutters and mouldings and salvaged as many of the floorboards as we could which were reused in the sitting room. The windows are exceptionally large for a cottage of this size – sixteen panes in each window instead of twelve – which makes it lovely and light inside, and the rooms are really quite tall. You can see where the first floor was very likely heightened at some point, by looking at the brickwork outside.”“Our aim was to do a top-quality refurbishment installing quality fittings. The kitchen is a superb German brand from Richard Gadd in Lincoln with Corian worktops and integrated Neff appliances. The boiler is very large so there is never any worry of running out of hot water. The soft furnishings – the curtains, blinds and pelmets – are very special and available by separate negotiation if required.”“It’s very quiet here. The garden is a great size, fully enclosed, sheltered, and private. We deliberately kept it low maintenance, but it provides a blank canvas for anyone who feels creative. It captures the sun all day and into the evening being south and west facing and the patio is the perfect place for our hot tub, which is available under separate negotiation. There is lots of room for parking on the gravel – four or five cars with more space down the side of the house.”“For children, school buses stop right outside the house taking them to Gainsborough in one direction and Lincoln in the other. There are some very good schools in the area and a popular primary only a mile away in the next village.”“The award winning pub, The Cross Keys, is a gastropub, restaurant, takeaway and tea room which is just round the corner as well as the rather impressive Minster which you can see from the garden. A footpath on the other side of the playground means you can easily walk to Sturton by Stow for some outdoor exercise.”Services: Mains gas, electricity, water and drainage; gas central heating (underfloor throughout the downstairs)Local Authority: West Lindsey District Council
