Bishop Norton Road, Glentham, Market Rasen, LN8

The Property
A handsome and substantial detached stone farmhouse, set within impressive grounds just in excess of an acre, offering extensive and highly versatile accommodation arranged over three floors, together with a range of outbuildings and a detached former coach house, all positioned within the well-regarded village of Glentham.

This impressive home combines a wealth of character features with practical modern living, providing generous and well-balanced space ideally suited to family occupation. The main hallway gives access to a formal dining room with feature Minster stone fireplace and inset stove and the well-proportioned sitting room which, in turn, leads to a striking garden room with vaulted beamed ceiling, and doors opening directly onto the grounds. A spacious breakfast kitchen forms the heart of the home, fitted with a range of units and complemented by a walk-in pantry. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a shower room and one further room, currently used as office space but also suitable for use as a bedroom.

To the upper floors, the accommodation continues to impress with six bedrooms arranged over two levels. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite and walk-in wardrobe, whilst bedrooms three and four share a Jack and Jill en-suite. A family bathroom serves the remaining rooms, and the layout is further enhanced by a useful laundry room positioned off the secondary staircase. The upper floor bedrooms provide additional flexibility, ideal for guests, older children or home working.

To enhance the property’s efficiency, solar panels have been installed, contributing towards reduced energy costs while also generating an additional income via a feed-in tariff, with the current owner advising returns of approximately £500 per annum.

Location
The property occupies an attractive position within the village of Glentham, a small and established rural community set amidst open Lincolnshire countryside. Whilst the village is positioned along the A631, providing excellent connectivity to the surrounding towns and wider road network, the property itself is not on the main road.

It is surrounded by attractive countryside ideal for walking, cycling and outdoor pursuits.

The location is also well placed for access to nearby centres. The town of Market Rasen lies about 8 miles to the east and offers a good range of everyday amenities including independent shops, supermarkets, schooling and leisure facilities, together with a railway station providing links along the Lincoln–Grimsby line. The town is also well known for its racecourse and sits on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The historic Cathedral city of Lincoln is around 15 miles to the south, offering a comprehensive range of amenities including extensive shopping, dining, cultural attractions and well-regarded schooling, along with rail connections including direct services to London King’s Cross.

Further afield, the towns of Gainsborough and Scunthorpe are both within comfortable driving distance, providing additional employment opportunities, retail facilities and transport links. The Lincolnshire coast is within an hour's drive, offering beaches and amusements for family days out.

Overall, the location offers an appealing combination of rural setting, accessibility and everyday convenience, making it particularly attractive for families and those seeking a balance between countryside living and connectivity to surrounding towns and the wider region.
