The Chestnuts, Mill Lane, Burgh-on-Bain, Market Rasen, LN8

A spacious four-bedroom detached house in a desirable setting between Louth and Market Rasen, with mature gardens and a flexible layout.

Description

The Chestnuts is a generously proportioned detached home, offering more than 2,500 sq ft of versatile accommodation, set within the Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Situated in the peaceful village of Burgh on Bain, the property enjoys a wonderful rural setting surrounded by rolling countryside, with the Viking Way and numerous scenic walking routes close by.

Built in 1983, the house offers spacious and flexible accommodation arranged over three floors, with an attractive blend of traditional character and scope for a new owner to update and personalise the interiors. The current configuration provides four bedrooms and six reception rooms, but the flexible layout offers the potential to adjust the balance of accommodation to include more bedrooms. Exposed timber details, including dado rails, skirting boards and doors, together with wood-effect uPVC windows, adds warmth and character throughout.

On the ground floor, an internal porch opens into a welcoming entrance hall with useful coat storage. The sociable kitchen/dining room, sitting room with wood-burning stove and formal dining room are arranged to one side of the house and could be opened up to create an impressive and sociable space for everyday life or entertaining. A utility room and second WC complete the ground floor.

On the lower ground floor, the approximately 24ft games room is an excellent additional reception space, providing space for entertaining and complete with its own dedicated cloakroom. There is also a separate study, a home gym and a bright garden room, offering a range of possibilities for working from home, hobbies or relaxation.

The four bedrooms are arranged around a central landing, with built-in wardrobes to each room. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms share the main bathroom.

Planning permission has also been granted for a significant first-floor addition, creating a new principal bedroom with en-suite and dressing room, plus an upstairs living room and balcony, all designed to overlook the rear garden and make the most of the beautiful surrounding countryside and Lincolnshire Wolds views. Together with the flexibility of the existing accommodation, the proposed addition offers considerable scope to reconfigure and substantially enhance the house.

The property occupies a particularly peaceful position on a quiet, no-through lane, with little passing traffic. To the front, a generous gravel driveway provides parking, while a detached single garage sits to the right-hand side. The front garden is predominantly laid to lawn and includes a number of mature trees, creating a pleasant and established setting.

The southeast-facing rear garden is particularly attractive, with privacy thanks to established trees along three boundaries. A patio immediately adjoining the house provides space for outdoor seating and dining, leading on to the lawn, which is arranged over two levels. A tranquil pond serves as a focal point in the garden, while the surrounding mature planting creates a peaceful outdoor setting and a haven for birds and wildlife.

For those who enjoy the outdoors, the location is particularly appealing. The Viking Way and surrounding network of footpaths provide excellent opportunities for walking and exploring the Lincolnshire Wolds, while the wider area is well suited to cycling and enjoying the countryside.
