Substantial gated bungalow offering generous reception spaces, five bedrooms and excellent flexibility, set privately in the village of Swayfield

Description

Tucked discreetly behind wooden gates, a screened approach and a substantial six foot stone wall, Pingle Lodge is an impressive and highly private bungalow, quietly positioned within the peaceful rural village of Swayfield and surrounded by the open Lincolnshire countryside. Entirely free from through traffic, the property offers an immediate sense of seclusion, with a gravel driveway leading to a private parking courtyard.

Originally conceived with the intention of creating two separate dwellings, Pingle Lodge provides exceptional flexibility, space, and long term potential. The scale of the accommodation, combined with its adaptable layout, offers scope to extend, reconfigure or subdivide, subject to the necessary planning consents, making it particularly appealing to those seeking a home capable of evolving with changing lifestyle needs.

At the heart of the home lies the outstanding open plan kitchen, living and dining space, a truly voluminous room that forms the social core of the property. Impressive in both scale and ceiling height, this expansive area comfortably accommodates defined zones for cooking, dining, and relaxation, with ample room for a substantial dining table and a generous sitting area, making it ideal for both everyday family life and entertaining. Flooded with natural light from triple aspect glazing and with doors opening directly onto the garden, the space enjoys a wonderful sense of openness and flow, further enhanced by underfloor heating throughout. A brick surround fireplace with log burner provides a warm and characterful focal point.

The bespoke handmade kitchen is beautifully crafted with granite work surfaces and centred around a substantial island providing informal seating. Integrated appliances include a range oven, microwave, and wine fridge, with space for a large fridge freezer and dishwasher. Designed to balance elegance with practicality, the kitchen features two sinks and an exceptionally generous walk in pantry, offering excellent storage while keeping the principal space uncluttered. A water softener adds further everyday convenience, while a conveniently located W.C. sits discreetly alongside the main living accommodation.

A charming stable door leads through to the adjoining sitting room, another impressive reception space distinguished by exposed beams and a dual aspect orientation. Currently zoned into two areas, the room offers excellent flexibility for both relaxed family living and more formal entertaining, with French doors opening onto the garden and an additional fireplace providing a further focal point.

The dining room is equally well proportioned, benefitting from a double aspect outlook, wooden flooring, and direct connection to a study area. French doors again lead to the garden, reinforcing the strong link between indoor and outdoor living and allowing natural light to flow throughout the principal reception spaces.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged to provide comfort, privacy, and versatility. The generous principal suite includes a dressing room with built in storage and a well appointed en suite bathroom with both bath and separate shower. A second double bedroom benefits from its own en suite shower room, while two further double bedrooms are served by a four piece family bathroom. A fifth bedroom is currently arranged as a second office and can be readily adapted to suit a buyer’s requirements. A practical utility room is well positioned for day to day use, offering space for appliances, a sink, storage, and direct access to the garden.

Outside, the gardens are a true delight and enhance the sense of privacy and rural calm. A large terrace extends across the full length of the property, ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining while enjoying views across the gently sloping gardens. Predominantly laid to lawn, the gardens are enriched by mature trees including willows and silver birches, established hedging, and thoughtfully planted borders, with roses and peonies adding colour and seasonal interest. A productive vegetable garden with shed and two greenhouses is complemented by a more intimate front garden, framed by planting and providing an additional private seating area.

The property is further enhanced by a triple garage with electric doors, an attached outbuilding offering excellent storage or workshop potential and extensive gated parking for up to seven vehicles. Six kennels are also available by separate negotiation.

Location

Pingle Lodge is situated within the attractive and unspoilt village of Swayfield, a highly regarded rural community characterised by handsome stone buildings, open countryside views and a strong local identity. The village enjoys a welcoming atmosphere with a village hall and a well regarded public house, while remaining peaceful and free from through traffic.

Despite its tranquil setting, Swayfield is exceptionally well connected. The village lies just over three miles east of the A1, providing swift access to both the north and south of the country. The A1 also offers convenient routes towards Rutland Water, renowned for its sailing, water sports, trout fishing, nature reserve and extensive walking and cycling trails.

The market town of Grantham is approximately 13 miles to the north-west, offering a comprehensive range of shopping, leisure and cultural amenities, together with a mainline railway station on the East Coast Main Line. From Grantham, direct high speed rail services reach London King’s Cross in as little as approximately 65–70 minutes, making the area particularly attractive for commuters seeking rural living with excellent city connectivity.

To the south, the historic stone town of Stamford lies approximately 15 miles away and is widely regarded as one of England’s finest towns, celebrated for its architecture, independent shops, cafés and restaurants. Further leisure opportunities are readily available, including excellent golf courses at nearby Greetham Valley and Stoke Rochford, both of which are highly regarded.

The area is particularly well served for education, with a choice of highly regarded grammar and independent schools within easy reach, including Stamford Endowed Schools, Oakham School, Uppingham School and the grammar schools in Grantham.

Combining the peace and charm of a rural Lincolnshire village with excellent access to market towns, transport links and outstanding schooling, Swayfield offers an exceptionally well balanced location for both family life and commuting.
