Wynthorpe Cottage, Market Rasen

This is a surprisingly substantial detached village residence, offering approximately 1,571 ft² / 146 m² of versatile three/four-bedroom family accommodation, occupying a prominent position in the heart of the popular Lincolnshire village of East Barkwith.

The house offers a particularly interesting and individual layout, with one of its most unexpected features being the large first-floor Sunroom, providing an appealing additional family reception space with a high vaulted ceiling and views across neighbouring properties in the village.

Whilst the property is in need of a significant programme of modernisation and refurbishment, it offers considerable potential for an incoming purchaser to reappoint and improve the accommodation to their own requirements, creating a particularly appealing village home.

Immediately to the rear is a small courtyard with a useful brick and pantile outbuilding, while just across the shared unadopted drive/lane lie the property’s separate and good-sized garden grounds, together with a gravelled driveway and detached garage. With thoughtful landscaping and improvement, these grounds could become a particularly attractive setting for family recreation, entertaining and outdoor enjoyment.

Outside - The house occupies a prominent roadside position on Torrington Lane. Running alongside the southern elevation of the property is an unadopted shared drive/lane, providing vehicular access to the house and its separate garden grounds, as well as serving neighbouring properties to the east.

Immediately to the rear of the house is a concrete and paved courtyard area, together with a useful brick and pantile outbuilding incorporating three stores.

Only a short distance away, on the opposite side of the shared drive/lane, lies the property's good-sized garden, which is principally laid to grass and enjoys a pleasant degree of shelter from a number of mature trees. The grounds are enclosed by a combination of Lincolnshire post-and-rail fencing, hedging and panel fencing, as appropriate.

At the western end of the garden is a gravelled driveway providing access to a detached concrete sectional garage, fitted with an up-and-over door.

With a thoughtful and creative landscaping scheme, these grounds could be transformed into an absolute delight for any family, providing attractive areas for recreation, relaxation, entertaining and general outdoor enjoyment.
