Corringham, Gainsborough, DN21

Welcome to Church Farmhouse, a charming semi-detached Lincolnshire longhouse dating back to the early 1800s, beautifully maintained and lovingly presented throughout. Nestled in a peaceful setting beside the historic St Laurence’s Church, this delightful home enjoys lovely views and offers a rare blend of period character and modern comfort.

Inside, the farmhouse exudes warmth and vibrancy, with exposed beams, brickwork, wood floors, picture rails, and attractive fireplaces all nodding to its heritage. The country-style kitchen, complete with flagstone steps, a central island, and quality Neff appliances, is perfectly suited for both family life and entertaining. Offering 2,189 sq ft of well-planned living space, the property provides wonderful flexibility for the new owners to personalise and make it their own.

This home has been truly loved and exceptionally well cared for, as shown by a series of significant recent improvements. A full re-roofing and re-insulation project, including new guttering and soffits, was completed in autumn 2023. Complete internal redecoration took place in 2021 and the house was externally painted in 2022. These significant upgrades ensure the property is beautifully presented and maintained to a high standard throughout.

The ground floor boasts three welcoming reception rooms, many of them dual aspect, flooding the interiors with natural light and offering serene views over the garden and the neighbouring church. A good-sized utility room and WC add further convenience to the layout.

Upstairs, there are four double bedrooms, two with built-in storage. The principal bedroom benefits from a stylish en-suite, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.

The low-maintenance lawned gardens are dotted with mature silver birch, willow, and apple trees, and beautifully complemented by a charming courtyard terrace—perfect for summer barbecues and alfresco dining.

An exciting development opportunity lies within the rear garden, where a generous outbuilding of approximately 680 sq ft—currently arranged as a garage, home office (with WC), and store—offers outstanding potential. Subject to the necessary consents, this versatile space could be converted into a self-contained annexe, a peaceful wellness studio, or a stylish office for a small business. The property also benefits from a large private driveway, providing off-street parking for up to six vehicles—a rare advantage for village living.

The property is located in the heart of the village of Corringham, which offers a range of local amenities including a well-regarded primary school, a friendly and highly praised doctor’s surgery, a village hall, and a historic church. For a taste of traditional hospitality, The Beckett Arms serves classic pub fare and hosts event evenings which add to the strong sense of community. The village will benefit from a new petrol station and shop, scheduled for opening in early 2026.

More extensive amenities can be found just 3.9-miles away in the market town of Gainsborough, home to the popular Marshall’s Yard shopping centre. With over 35 stores, including Browns Department Store, M&S Foodhall, Next, The Range, Superdrug, and Costa Coffee, along with a variety of independent boutiques and local businesses, it offers a vibrant mix of high-street convenience and unique finds.

Highly regarded local schools include Queen Elizabeth’s High School (4.3 miles) and Burton Hathow Preparatory School (13.9 miles), with an additional 15 schools in nearby Gainsborough catering to children of all ages.

Enjoy exceptional countryside walks right from your doorstep—perfect for dog lovers—with scenic routes leading to Aisby and Bonsall, and peaceful lanes ideal for cycling and horse riding. Located just 18-miles from the historic city of Lincoln and 30-miles from the Humber Bridge, with Sheffield and Nottingham within 45-miles, the property offers easy access to excellent shopping, culture, and attractions.

For commuters, Retford Train Station (16-miles) provides regular direct services to London King’s Cross, with journey times from as little as 90-minutes—making this the ideal location for blending rural life with city connections.
