High Street, Sturton By Stow, Lincoln

An individual former Chapel/Friends Meeting House conversion, offering a generously proportioned range of three-bedroom accommodation, standing within grounds extending to approximately 0.15 of an acre (sts), in a pleasant setting in the heart of the well-served village of Sturton by Stow.

Arranged on a single level, the accommodation includes a side entrance lobby, a good-sized lounge diner with views over the front garden, and a breakfast kitchen overlooking the rear grounds. There are three bedrooms, a family bathroom with both a bath and separate shower cubicle, and a separate WC.

The bungalow would now benefit from a general scheme of refurbishment, providing an opportunity for purchasers to introduce their own ideas and create a home suited to their individual tastes and requirements, as well as offering potential to extend the existing accommodation, subject to all appropriate consents. A thoughtfully planned landscaping scheme would further enhance its setting, making the most of the available space for gardens and garaging/carport, again subject to all necessary consents.
