Pelhams Lands, Lincoln, Lincolnshire, LN4

Gorgeous, spacious, detached period cottage, set within a substantial plot to include a large garden and outbuildings that soak up open field views to the front and rear. Multiple reception rooms with a flexible layout blend characterful charm and modern convenience with the truly special White Cottage...

Welcome to Pelhams Lands - a former Civil Parish that now forms part of Holland Fen. A rural settlement by the North Forty Foot Bank, part of the picturesque River Witham that meanders towards Lincoln, via Chapel Hill, Tattershall & Kirkstead. Open, flat farmland surrounds White Cottage, blessing it with stunning wide skies and enviable sunrise / sunset views to the front and rear. Situated just over 5 miles away from Tattershall & Coningsby - a wide variety of amenities are only around a 15 minute drive away. The city of Lincoln is just over 20 miles away, and the market town of Boston is under 10, meaning you're pretty much in the middle of nowhere, and everything, all at once. Far reaching views and aimless walks are all around, right at your doorstep - with frost-tinged morning walks just as aesthetically pleasing and soul cleansing as those balmy, late summer afternoon strolls.

White Cottage has a broad plot shape, with a large garden to the side aspect, including a large area sectioned off for chickens, a lovely large lawn, and large patio including a hot tub area (and yes, the hot tub is staying!) and brick built outbuilding that's currently mocked up as an outdoor bar area, all enveloped by tall protective trees that block any breeze that tumbles across the fields. The rear of the cottage provides a sheltered hardstanding area that leads to two further outbuildings that provide lots of covered storage.

Inside, the home has a spacious entrance hall that leads to a good sized kitchen area, with broad archways that lead through to a spacious dining room and onwards to a gorgeous lounge. Further along to the opposite side of the home is a third reception room / fourth bedroom, as well as a downstairs WC & shower room. The first floor has a large landing area that also serves as an office area, with doors that lead to three bedrooms, a dressing room and the family bathroom.

This beautiful cottage has been tastefully brought to modern standard, whilst leaning into a country cottage and characterful vibe. Overall, the finish is quality, with some lovely wood flooring, and features that bring about ooo's and aah's from top to bottom. Spacious and flexible throughout, this is a good sized family home for those looking for a rural lifestyle in the middle of the peace and quiet...

The property is heated with the multi-fuel burning stove and electric, has mains power and water, and septic tank for waste drainage. Council Tax Band C

Entrance Hall

The main entrance into White Cottage is on the right hand side of the property, approached by a gated gravel driveway and patio area. Stepping into the home and onto the tile-finished flooring, the entrance hall is bright and fresh, with a window to the rear aspect bringing added natural light in. The staircase to the first floor is to the right, with the hallway going down and eventually meeting the kitchen.

Kitchen

4.81m x 2.09m - 15'9" x 6'10"
The cream coloured stone tiles flow through into the kitchen, open up into a modern and classy cooking area. Having been updated in recent times, the cream and contrasting black colour schemes pop out of the white walls to bring a contemporary finish. There's a black sink and draining board that blends into the work surface, with a black glass electric hob, bringing a sleek and modern finish. Plentiful cupboard and cabinet space is briefly disrupted for the washing machine slot, along with a vertical six-tier wine rack. Opposite the door that goes to the rear aspect of the home, there's space for an American style fridge freezer next to more storage, with the opposing wall opening into a large archway that enters the dining room.

Dining Room

3.75m x 3.84m - 12'4" x 12'7"
Moving through with the flow of the home - after the kitchen, we enter into a beautiful dining room. A lovely broad window to the front aspect overlooks the riverbank and open fields beyond - a wonderful backdrop to family meal times. The tile flooring we've seen so far stops, and makes way for a stunning herringbone style wood flooring, that stretches right through into the lounge.

Lounge

3.94m x 3.73m - 12'11" x 12'3"
Entering via a second broad archway from the dining room, the lounge is both spacious and cosy, with a gorgeous fireplace in the centre of the far wall, with a multifuel burner sitting pride of place. Dual aspect windows to the side and front offer lovely views into the garden and across the open fields, bringing in a well balanced level of natural light.

Reception Room / Bedroom 4

3.97m x 3.77m - 13'0" x 12'4"
Beyond the kitchen is this third, fabulous, flexible reception room. It feels a bit like a well hidden secret due to it's access, and opens up into this wonderful room with herringbone style wood flooring, a gorgeous fireplace, and window to the front aspect. Currently occupied as an office area, this large, square room could be a second lounge, childrens play room, music / media room, fourth bedroom, or pretty much whatever you desire. It's squared of and large enough to accommodate most needs, and is a fantastic element to this lovely home.

Shower Room

2.71m x 2.07m - 8'11" x 6'9"
Adjacent to the reception room, and tucked behind the kitchen, is this fabulous shower room. The room is fully tiled, with a large step-in shower are, with a WC, side aspect window, and double vanity wash basins set atop a wood work surface and storage drawers.

Landing

6.46m x 2.13m - 21'2" x 6'12"
The first thing we noted with the landing is the characterful sloped ceiling, which is so endearing. The area is large enough to have a dual use - doubling up as a computer / office area by the side of a rear facing window, as well as having doors that lead to a small dressing room that connects to bedroom one, the further two bedrooms, and family bathroom.

Bedroom One

3.99m x 3.78m - 13'1" x 12'5"
The master bedroom has the beautiful wood flooring from the landing, flowing in. With a range of spot lights offering a good balance of light into the room, there's also a front facing window that has the most wonderful outlook across the riverbank and fields - and being west facing ensures you're treated to the most breath taking sunset vistas. There's a large fitted airing cupboard / wardrobe, as well as a second door that steps down into a dressing area.

Dressing Area

2.9m x 2.12m - 9'6" x 6'11"
With a window to the side aspect and sloped ceiling that presents a mid to low level storage shelf area, this fabulous little room packs a punch - and makes for the perfect walk-in wardrobe / dressing area. There's currently a dressing table and drawers in situ, as well as clothing rails and boxes for outfit and footwear storage.

Bedroom Two

3.84m x 3.75m - 12'7" x 12'4"
Working our way across, bedroom 2 is next along, and is also a fabulous sized double bedroom. The walls recess around a protruding fireplace which offers that classic characterful cottage aesthetic, complemented by that same far reaching view across the fields of rural Lincolnshire from the front facing window.

Bedroom Three

3.98m x 3.76m - 13'1" x 12'4"
Another fantastic sized bedroom - you'll note the dimensions of these three are all within inches of each other in overall size offering. The third and final bedroom is at the far end of the home, has a that wonderful wood flooring, a chimney breast with recessed walls either side, and a front facing window, so everyone gets to enjoy that wonderful view. The loft access hatch is in this room too, and is finished with a range of spotlights bringing a balance of light to the room.

Bathroom

2.4m x 1.94m - 7'10" x 6'4"
We conclude our tour of the inside with the family bathroom - a gorgeous room that gives us spa-day vibes, with the layered slate and stone walls, beautiful bathtub with a waterfall effect tap that cascades water in from the centre (meaning either or both ends can be used!), a stunning carved stone as a wash basin with storage below, with a waterfall tap that matches that of the bath. Also including WC and radiator, the room is finished with a grey laminate flooring, spotlights within the sloped ceiling and window to the side aspect.

Garden

This wonderful plot size has been separated into different uses and styles, but blends into one lovely outdoor area to enjoy. The far end of the garden is currently sectioned off and the home for the current owners several chickens, serving fresh eggs daily when its laying season! There's then a great sized lawn that's wrapped up in tall hedges and trees, that steps over to a gravelled driveway area and large patio with the hot tub on, as well as the outbuilding that's been fitted out as an outdoor bar and gym room, and finally stretches round to a patio and walkway at the rear of the home, leading to the outbuildings on the opposite side.

Outbuildings

Accessible from the front and rear, two old garages sit in front of the large / wide driveway, offering lots of covered storage. Whilst serving their purpose currently, there's definitely scope for improvement with these outbuildings, bringing a fantastic opportunity to create fully insulated / sealed buildings for a range of potential uses.
