Located in the Old Wood, to the south-west of Lincoln, the property enjoys a peaceful setting with excellent access to local amenities, schools and transport links. Lincoln’s historic city centre, with its cathedral quarter, High Street shopping, restaurants and cafés, is within convenient driving distance, providing a broad choice of retail, leisure and cultural attractions.

The bungalow is approached via gated access leading to a spacious gravelled driveway, providing ample parking for multiple vehicles. A double garage with electric roller doors offers secure parking or additional storage, ideal for those with larger vehicles, hobby equipment or requiring workshop space.

On entering the property, the entrance hall leads into a thoughtfully planned layout. A notable feature is the long hallway with tall triple-glazed Velfac windows, which draw natural light into the interior and frame views over the surrounding grounds. Off this hallway is a separate toilet, conveniently positioned for both residents and guests.

The home has been configured to provide a distinct “kids’ wing”, giving younger family members their own dedicated area. This section includes two double bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes offering practical storage, a shower room, and a lounge/playroom. This arrangement supports flexible family use, whether as children’s bedrooms and play space, guest accommodation, or even multigenerational living, depending on requirements.

At the opposite end of the bungalow, the principal bedroom suite forms an attractive private retreat. The master bedroom benefits from a walk-in wardrobe and dressing area, together with a four-piece en-suite bathroom that includes a separate walk-in shower. A further bedroom is situated just off the master and is currently used as a home office, making it well suited for those who work from home or require a quiet study, nursery, or hobby room.

The heart of the home is the large open-plan kitchen/diner, carefully designed as both a practical working kitchen and a social, family-focused space. A feature island with Quartz worktops provides extensive preparation space and informal seating, while cooking facilities are enhanced by an induction Falcon range cooker. The kitchen is well appointed with a built-in dishwasher, integrated fridge and a boiler tap, and includes a walk-in pantry for additional storage. Character is added by exposed brickwork, feature oak beams and a double-sided woodburner, which forms a focal point and creates a visual and functional link into the adjoining sitting room/snug.

The sitting room/snug, accessed directly from the kitchen/diner via the shared woodburner, provides a comfortable living area, ideal for relaxing, reading or informal entertaining. This open-plan connection between key living spaces supports modern family interaction and sociable gatherings.

A boot room/utility room serves as a highly practical ancillary space, with provision for a washing machine, tumble dryer and laundry bins. This room is well suited to handling outdoor clothing, sports kit or equipment, helping to keep the main living spaces clear and organised.

Externally, the main garden includes a large patio and designated seating areas, which are well placed for outdoor dining or simply enjoying the surroundings. There is a dog kennel, reflecting the suitability of the property for pet owners. Beyond the principal garden, a separate gated access leads into a woodland area forming part of the grounds. This woodland benefits from a zip wire platform and kids’ play area, making excellent use of the natural setting for recreation and adventure. In addition to children’s activities, the land and woodland offer scope for walking and informal cycling routes within the property’s own boundaries.

The wider locality around Old Wood and southern Lincoln provides further opportunities for walking and cycling, with country lanes, bridleways and green spaces accessible nearby. Families will find a selection of nearby schools within the Lincoln and North Hykeham area, spanning primary and secondary education, alongside a range of extracurricular and sports facilities.
