Spilsby Road, Horncastle, Lincolnshire, LN9 6AL

There is no greater compliment as an estate agent than to be invited back to market a property that the owners originally bought from you. We all remembered Bokhanger Lodge straight away having fallen in love with it ourselves the first time around and so we are absolutely delighted to have the opportunity to find the new buyer for this beautiful period property following a job relocation for the current owners.

Now offered with no onward chain this beautiful property with its Gothic style is well recognised in the area and many years ago was once the doctor's surgery. Bokhanger Lodge has a lovely welcoming, nostalgic feel, with ornate carved doors, wooden panels and architraves, a beautiful wooden staircase and charming fireplaces that give it its own unique personality and an individual style that while still honours the past but has adapted well to the lifestyles of more modern families over the years.

The current owners have gone on to sympathetically update the property, respecting all of the character and period features but making huge improvements to the general day to day living of the family. A beautiful new electric Aga has replaced an older cooking range and keeps the kitchen as well as the rooms immediately off the kitchen toasty and warm in the cooler months. The old boiler was replaced in March 2023 along with all of the older style and less efficient radiators which the owners tell me has made all the difference in the world to the overall ambiance of the property as well as a great difference to the utility bills!

There are four double bedrooms and three lovely reception rooms to include a large living room, a beautiful brand new garden room / dining room off the kitchen as well as a cosy study or snug. There is a fabulous cellar too which has full head-height which provides further opportunity to convert but is also an incredibly useful space in its own right.

There is a generous gravel driveway, double garage and EV charger point to the front of the property as well as a large private and secluded garden to the rear. Bokhanger Lodge has several lovely mature fruit and nut trees, areas for sitting out in both sunshine and dappled shade and the lovely feature of the river which flows through Horncastle that passes by at the very bottom of the garden.
