Lincoln Road, Boothby Graffoe, LN5

The Old Rectory is an exceptionally presented four-bedroom detached family home that has been owned by the same family for over forty years. Positioned in the sought after Cliff Village of Boothby Graffoe, it enjoys a peaceful village setting, direct access to the Viking Way and the amenities of neighbouring Navenby close at hand.

The property occupies grounds extending to over three acres (STS), offering a combination of space, versatility and potential. Approached via a carriage driveway, it provides extensive off-road parking and a spacious garage, creating an inviting first impression while offering the practicality that family life requires.

Inside, the accommodation is arranged to provide flexible living space, with multiple reception rooms that adapt to formal entertaining, relaxed family living or working from home. At the heart of the property is a 32ft living room, enjoying views across the established rear gardens, a natural gathering point for family life.

The kitchen diner is complemented by a traditional Aga, while a separate utility room and ground floor shower room add everyday convenience. Upstairs, a generous landing leads to the principal bedroom with its own en-suite, three further well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom, with a large loft offering further potential.

The Old Rectory also offers scope for sympathetic modernisation or extension, subject to the necessary planning permissions, allowing future owners to create a home tailored to their own tastes and needs.

Externally, the home is set within its own extensive grounds, with beautifully maintained lawns, patio and seating areas, raised flowerbeds, wildlife pond, mature trees and a greenhouse. For equestrian enthusiasts or those seeking generous outdoor space, there is stabling for two horses, a barn, tack room and further store, with a yard and paddock extending to approximately 2.5 acres (STS). With established planting throughout and no immediate neighbours, the grounds enjoy a welcome degree of privacy.

The current owner shares:

"This has been an exceptional family home for us. From summer days spent in the gardens to the convenience of having the paddocks, stables and barn, we've loved the balance of peaceful countryside living and practical space. It's a very special place that has given us many happy memories."

Rich in character and brimming with potential, The Old Rectory is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial countryside home offering space, character and an enviable rural setting.
