5 bedroom house

DESCRIPTION Tucked away up a driveway which sweeps around to the back of this charming character farmhouse, with fruit trees on one side and mature Hawthorn, Holly and Ash to the other, Holly Cottage in the village of Wickenby, is a hidden gem for those wishing for peace, privacy and the country idyll. In part dating from the late 18th Century with five bedrooms (one en-suite) and three reception rooms, it stands in grounds of nearly 4 acres (STC) and has the advantage of extensive outbuildings too. These, consisting of a double garage, workshop, double bay open fronted entertaining party area, a large barn with double entrance doors and a further barn, are ideal for many uses or businesses including equestrian, small holding, glamping or even a stunning house in its own right subject to the relevant permissions. Beyond the large wrap around gardens and vegetable areas, green house and wild herb garden, lies the picturesque paddock which benefits from a field shelter and two ponds; well fenced and enclosed by mature hedging and trees and in turn surrounded by farmland, the ambience of seclusion is further enhanced.

Holly Cottage stands well within its grounds and the view from every window uncovers a stunning vista of its own gardens and land. Moreover, Holly Cottage although well maintained, offers that rare opportunity to create a truly stunning home for those wishing to really make their home their own. The property is offered for sale with no onward chain. 

LOCATION Wickenby is a lovely rural village in Lincolnshire where five country lanes meet by the village church. It offers wonderful quite country riding, walking and cycling where these lanes intercept a network of footpaths and bridleways. Equestrian enthusiasts are well catered for with three local hunts, racing at Market Rasen, Point to Pointing at Brocklesby and Reevesby Park and Lincoln Showground only a short distance away. It is located approximately 6 miles from the small market town of Market Rasen, and around 20 minutes from the City of Lincoln with its Cathedral, Castle, Roman remains, Bishops Palace, culture, restaurants, shopping, schools and Universities and direct train links. Wickenby also has a small private airfield for light aircraft which some of the residents make use of for their own planes. One of its more famous alumni is Jim Broadbent and the small rural theatre in his name hosts plays, pantomimes, drama groups, choirs and all manner of entertainments throughout the year. It is close to the Lincolnshire Wolds yet accessible to the A46 and A15, and further national motorway system - even a day at the beach is within reach for an enjoyable day out.
