The Property
A very impressive DETACHED COUNTRY FARMHOUSE transformed by renovation and refurbishment in recent years and enjoying a rural location with no immediate residential neighbours. Standing in very private grounds of some 2.75 ACRES (including a grass paddock of around 1.5 acres) and enjoying lovely views over the surrounding countryside, this incredibly versatile property also offers a separate Light Industrial Workshop and Office (some 2,180 sq.ft.), extensive vehicle PARKING facilities and a fully serviced modern Static Caravan providing additional accommodation for visitors or even the possibility of an Airbnb income.

The charming Farmhouse is crammed with character: latched internal doors, fantastic open fireplaces (two with LOG BURNER), wood strip flooring in the Hall and Lounge and a new, comprehensive range of kitchen units with solid wood work surfaces and several integrated appliances.
Further advantages include an oil-fired central heating system, quality triple glazed, multi-pane windows, modern, white colour bathroom and shower room suites and a very recent sewage treatment/filtration plant for the non-mains drainage system.

Grounds
Standing in around 2.75 acres, Willowood Farm is approached over a shingle drive, through twin, remotely operated gates to a generous sized, shingle parking area on the eastern side of the main house. The sweeping drive extends across the front of the house providing access to the Workshop on the northern boundary and the Static Caravan and further parking area in the north-western corner.
Until recently, the Workshop has been home to the current owner's staircase manufacturing business and includes mains electricity (with 3-phase converter), mains water and an attached office. We are informed (but unable to verify) that previous use included indoor shelter for a variety of animals. Its current use is Light Industrial and advice should be sought from the Planning Department at West Lindsey District Council about any change of use e.g. to covered stables, garaging etc
The gardens on the northern and western sides are laid principally to lawn and include numerous trees (various fruits and two wonderful Willows from which the farm derives its name).
The generous sized, southerly facing gardens at the rear are also laid mainly to lawn with mature boundary hedges on either side and swathes of young, maturing trees. Beyond these gardens a grass paddock of around 1.5 acres extends southwards.

Local Area
Market Rasen (some 4.8 miles) is the nearest larger centre of population and “gateway to The Wolds”, an area of outstanding natural beauty beyond which lies Louth (some 19.4 miles) and the beautiful Lincolnshire coast. Lincoln (some 17.7 miles), Gainsborough (some 15 miles), Scunthorpe (some 19.2 miles) and Grimsby (some 22.4 miles) are all equally accessible.

Osgodby and Middle Rasen offer the nearest, highly rated junior schools and De Aston School in Market Rasen is the nearest secondary school. Caistor Grammar School and William Farr School in Welton may offer alternative opportunities.

Market Rasen is the nearest centre for shopping and eating out. Tesco & Co-op both have supermarkets in the town and there are numerous, smaller outlets including butchers, greengrocer, baker etc. Several pubs, restaurants and takeaways can also be found offering a wide variety of cuisines.

The nearest train station is also in Market Rasen which provides links to Grimsby or Barnetby for trans-Pennine routes as well as Lincoln and thereto London via Newark or Nottingham.

The area also offers excellent sporting facilities with one of the country’s leading small racecourses on the eastern outskirts of Market Rasen as well as a highly regarded golf course in the same sector of the town. A new Sports Centre opened on the western edge of the town in 2021 and well supported football, cricket and rugby clubs can also be found in the town.
