Medland Drive, Bracebridge Heath

This remarkable four double-bedroom home forms part of the distinguished St. John’s Development in Bracebridge Heath and occupies a Grade II listed building dating back to 1852. Rich in heritage yet thoughtfully modernised, the property blends historic character with contemporary comfort, offering an inviting and versatile living environment.

The moment you step into the spacious entrance hall, measuring 13'11" x 7'5", the property’s impressive proportions become immediately apparent. High ceilings, some reaching nearly twelve feet, combine beautifully with deep window sills, decorative coving and substantial skirting boards, creating an atmosphere of elegance and openness throughout the home. This sense of space continues into the expansive open-plan living area which stretches an impressive 45'10" x 11'3", providing a superb space for both everyday living and entertaining. The well-appointed kitchen diner, measuring 27'8" x 8'3", offers a generous and sociable layout, complemented by a separate utility area and an additional office or snug ideal for remote working or quiet relaxation. A downstairs WC completes the ground floor.

The first floor is equally impressive, offering four spacious double bedrooms. The master bedroom and bedroom four each benefit from their own en-suite shower rooms, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a contemporary family bathroom. The landing provides valuable storage options and continues the property’s bright and airy feel.

Outside, the enclosed and landscaped rear garden provides a tranquil and private setting for outdoor dining, family time or quiet retreat. At the front of the home, a gravelled driveway offers parking for three to four vehicles.

The current owners have significantly enhanced the property to an exceptional standard. The entire ground floor is finished with premium 20mm engineered brushed oak flooring that is perfectly suited to the underfloor heating system, while the first floor enjoys the luxury of pure wool carpets. Every internal door has been replaced with solid oak panelled doors, several of which include glazed sections that help draw natural light into the interior. A sophisticated smart heating system has also been installed, allowing individual zone control across all underfloor heating areas as well as radiators and towel rails upstairs.

For those who value connectivity, the house benefits from Cat 6 ethernet wiring throughout, making it simple to hard-wire appliances or devices as needed. Fibre-to-the-home, offering speeds of up to one gigabit per second, can be directly linked into the network, and television services have been distributed to every room, including full support for Sky Q UHD. Both satellite and terrestrial feeds are integrated through a single system, giving complete flexibility in how media is enjoyed across the home.

The exterior of the property has also been upgraded to a high standard. All windows and external doors were replaced in June 2024 and now comply with the most recent new build thermal efficiency guidelines. The impressive arched lower rear windows, part of the building’s historic charm, have been carefully reinstated. The roof underwent a comprehensive refurbishment in 2022, incorporating new insulation, updated linings and replacement firebreaks to align with modern standards. Enhanced pattressing has also been installed within the party walls at both ends of the property, providing improved acoustic insulation and additional support for fitted storage.

Bracebridge Heath continues to be one of the most desirable and well-connected villages south of Lincoln. Residents enjoy an excellent selection of amenities including pubs, restaurants, independent shops and a well-regarded primary school. The property is located within walking distance of both the Primary Academy and the highly respected LSST secondary school. Lincoln city centre lies only two miles away and is accessible via regular bus routes, while nearby road and rail links provide convenient access to Newark, Sleaford and the East Coast Main Line, including direct connections to London Kings Cross.
