Description
The properties are situated in open countryside between the villages of South Scarle and Swinderby. The barn conversion provides flexible and adaptable accommodation with potential for easy conversion to 2 or 3 bedrooms within the footprint areas. Oak Tree Lodge comprises a very attractive 3 bedroomed country cottage. There is a range of farm buildings comprising loose boxes, a pole barn, garaging, former stock buildings, and a hay store. The land is divided into three paddocks.
The barn conversion is constructed with traditional red brick elevations under a pantiled roof. There is a modern extension providing a corridor and link to the domestic accommodation. Central heating is oil fired with panelled radiators, a new 1,300 litre bunded oil tank installed externally April 2026. The original threshing barn is believed to date back to circa 1785. The renovation and conversion took place in 1999 with internal works continuing to date.
