Welcome to The Cottage, Fen Lane, Metheringham, Lincoln – No Onward Chain

Country cottage charm, serious family space and a garden that keeps on giving.

Five Bedrooms | Two En-Suites | Approx. 2,081 sq ft | Substantial Plot | Countryside Views | Orchard | Extensive Parking | No Onward Chain

This is no ordinary country cottage...

Behind the charming stone exterior of The Cottage lies a substantial and incredibly versatile five-bedroom family home, offering approximately 2,081 sq ft of accommodation, beautiful and private established gardens, its very own orchard and extensive parking for multiple vehicles, motorhomes, campervans or work vehicles.

And the best part? The vendors have already secured their onward home, meaning this wonderful property is offered with no onward chain.

Tucked away along the peaceful Fen Lane, with countryside views to the rear, The Cottage enjoys that wonderful semi-rural lifestyle so many buyers are searching for. Yet, despite its tranquil setting, the heart of the thriving village of Metheringham is just approximately a ten-minute walk away.

With an impressive range of shops, cafés, pubs, takeaways, schools and a railway station, everything you need for everyday life is conveniently close by.

A countryside lifestyle without compromising on convenience.

Lovingly owned by the same family for the past 36 years, The Cottage has been thoughtfully extended, maintained and enjoyed over the decades. It retains the warmth, charm and character you would expect from a traditional stone cottage, including revealed wood beams and wood burning stove, whilst providing the generous proportions and flexible accommodation required for modern family life.

Although beautifully cared for, the property also presents a wonderful opportunity for its next owners to introduce their own contemporary touches and create something truly special.

Step Inside

A welcoming entrance

An entrance hallway welcomes you into the property, with a further inner hallway connecting the principal ground-floor accommodation and staircase rising to the first floor.

The generous layout immediately gives a sense of the space on offer, with well-proportioned rooms and plenty of flexibility for family life.

The heart of the home - a country-style kitchen

The kitchen/diner is a wonderful space and very much the heart of this family home.

With its traditional country-style design, central cooking island with range cooker, generous work surfaces and plenty of space for family dining, it's a room designed to bring everyone together.

Whether it's a busy weekday breakfast, preparing Sunday lunch or entertaining friends and family, this is a kitchen that works beautifully for everyday living.

Practicality hasn't been forgotten either, with a separate utility room, a very useful pantry with garden access and a ground-floor WC.

A living room made for relaxing

The substantial living room is another real highlight of the accommodation.

Extending to approximately 27 feet in length, this beautifully proportioned room offers an inviting and comfortable space, with a wood-burning stove providing a lovely focal point.

Multiple windows allow natural light to fill the room, whilst the garden outlook enhances the wonderful feeling of privacy.

There's plenty of space for different seating arrangements, making this an ideal room for everything from cosy winter evenings to larger family gatherings.

Room to work, play or unwind

A separate office provides fantastic versatility.

Currently offering an excellent work-from-home environment, this generous room could equally become a family room, playroom, hobby room or additional reception room.

It's another example of how adaptable this property is to different lifestyles and family requirements.

Upstairs – Five Bedrooms and Three Bathrooms

The sense of space continues upstairs, where a generous galleried landing provides access to five bedrooms, two en-suite shower rooms and a family bathroom.

The principal bedroom is a lovely double room, complete with fitted wardrobe storage and its own en-suite shower room.

Bedroom two is another generous bedroom, also benefiting from an en-suite shower room.

The remaining three bedrooms provide excellent accommodation for growing families, visiting guests or those needing additional workspace.

Four of the bedrooms benefit from fitted wardrobe storage, whilst the rear-facing bedrooms enjoy lovely views across the gardens and towards the surrounding countryside.

A spacious family bathroom, featuring a corner bath, completes the first-floor accommodation.

Outside – Space, Privacy and Your Very Own Orchard

If you love outdoor space, The Cottage certainly won't disappoint.

Occupying a substantial, established non-estate plot, the property enjoys a wonderful garden that provides a real sense of freedom, privacy and connection with the countryside.

Extensive lawns stretch away from the house, interspersed with mature trees, established planting and areas to sit, relax and enjoy the surroundings.

Towards the bottom of the garden is a delightful orchard with established fruit trees, creating a particularly charming feature and offering a wonderful space for families, keen gardeners and those who simply enjoy spending time outdoors.

Closer to the house, established patio and seating areas provide the perfect setting for summer dining, barbecues and entertaining.

With countryside views beyond, this is the sort of garden that makes you want to spend more time at home.

Parking? There's plenty of that too.

One of the property's standout practical features is the extensive off-road parking.

Whether you have several family vehicles, a motorhome, campervan, caravan or work vehicles, the generous driveway provides the sort of flexibility that can be difficult to find in a traditional village property.

For buyers who need space both inside and outside their home, this is a particularly attractive feature.

A Home with Exciting Future Potential

Having already been extended over the years, The Cottage provides a substantial amount of accommodation in its current form.

However, the generous plot and existing layout may also present opportunities for further extension, reconfiguration or development, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions and consents.

The property has been well cared for and maintained, but there is also an exciting opportunity for a new owner to modernise and personalise certain areas to suit their own tastes.

A character home with space to grow, both now and in the future.
