Sellers Insight

‘The location really is something special. It’s such a pretty place to live and absolutely perfect for families. We’ve got two very good schools in the village and excellent secondary schools close by, which was a key influence to our decision to move here.’

‘One of the things I love most is the brook that runs through the village by the church. It’s so picturesque, and we often wandered down to feed the ducks. There’s always something happening here – whether it’s a community fête, a local event, or one of the pop-up food vendors that set up in the village. We’re lucky to have a couple of coffee shops and two great pubs. One has a Greek restaurant attached, which is excellent, and the other serves classic English food, so there’s always somewhere nearby to meet friends or enjoy a good meal.’

‘Nettleham Lodge has been a wonderful home to raise a family. There is so much space, both inside and out, for children to play, and the house grew with us – evolving to meet our changing needs as the family got older and our interests shifted. It has also been a fantastic house for entertaining. We’ve hosted many Christmas gatherings, big children’s birthday parties, and countless evenings of socialising with friends. The space, both indoors and within the grounds, has always meant we could welcome extended family and friends with ease.

‘What we have also loved is the flexibility of the layout – with larger rooms that work brilliantly for entertaining, and quieter spaces that are perfect for work, study, or simply relaxing. It has been a house that truly adapts to how you want to live.’

‘We were surrounded by wildlife, fields, and a menagerie of pets, including geese, ducks, peacocks, guinea fowl, dogs, cats, and horses. My children had an idyllic, adventurous childhood, playing in treehouses, rearing animals, picking fruit from the orchards, and, of course, riding horses in our fields and taking pleasant hacks through the countryside down to Nettleham, splashing through the beck and home again.’

‘For me, the setting is unique – we’ve got the privacy and space of our own home, all the advantages of village life, and then the city of Lincoln is just a few miles away. It really does feel like the best of both worlds.’
