Church Road, Stickford, Lincolnshire

Named after the neighbouring St Helens church, this beautiful cottage was built to an incredibly high level of specification in 2001 and has been further improved by the current owners. Situated on a no-through road, St Helen’s Cottage enjoys an attractive village position at the foot of the Lincolnshire Wolds, with open country aspects to the side and rear. It is only six miles away from the small market town of Spilsby and approximately 12 miles from the historic market towns of Boston and Horncastle.

Stepping inside, viewers will be pleasantly surprised to see how light and spacious the cottage actually is. With a generous lounge, incredibly spacious dining kitchen and three double bedrooms with both a wet room and a large bathroom, you can be forgiven for imagining a much smaller property from the front picture. Internally the property offers a breath of fresh air with its immaculate, light and clean presentation. The lovely kitchen was handmade by local cabinet makers Greshams in solid oak. Features like underfloor heating to both the ground floor and the first floor and the master console in the lounge (which manages all of the rooms’ lights and lamps with on, off and dimmer functions) are great examples of the thoughtful design that can be seen throughout the home.

I know that this totally unique cottage will suit many different types of buyer, with a ground floor bedroom having an en-suite wet-room style shower room and a spacious hallway with an additional cloakroom off - as well as two further double bedrooms and a large family bathroom with a four piece bathroom suite to the first floor. As mentioned, the current owners have taken an already impressive property and invested further with a considerable scheme of work. This has included new windows, French doors in the kitchen and Karndean flooring in the lounge and master bedroom together with two new shower units and updated Oak doors to the ground floor.

Externally, St Helen’s Cottage occupies a good sized plot, served all around by a range of lighting, with an extensive paved driveway, providing ample parking for several cars as well as a motorhome or caravan. An attractive, yet smaller garden to the rear, is enclosed by a brick retaining wall with gates to either side of the property for convenience but also security for small children and pets.

As the cottage was built, so was a brick built workshop / studio with clay pantile roof, alarm, steel roller door, lights, power, TV point and Belfast style sink with hot and cold water. Ideal for a variety of uses, this attractive outbuilding could be the feature that makes all the difference to the right buyer.
