Church Street, Wragby, Market Rasen

A substantial detached period residence of considerable charm and character, standing within 0.49 of an acre (sts) in the historic heart of Wragby and offering tremendous potential for restoration and enhancement.

Believed to have early Georgian origins in part, Woodlands extends to approximately 2,036 ft² / 189 m² (GIFA) and retains a wealth of period features, including sash windows with internal shutters, panelled doors, decorative cornicing, exposed timbers and a barrel-vaulted cellar.

The accommodation comprises an Entrance Hall, Sitting Room, Drawing Room, Dining Room, Breakfast Room, Kitchen and Cellar, together with four first-floor Bedrooms and a Family Bathroom.

The adjoining workshop and outbuildings offer further potential for additional accommodation, annexe, home office, studio or leisure use, subject to all necessary consents.

Woodlands occupies mature tree-sheltered grounds, with ample driveway parking, ornamental gardens, courtyards, mature trees and a large private rear garden.
