April Cottage, Kyme Road, Heckington Fen

More about the property

Deceptively spacious country cottage set within a plot approaching two acres, this charming period home offers an unparalleled opportunity to enjoy peaceful rural living while remaining within easy reach of the nearby village of Heckington and town of Sleaford, both offering excellent local amenities. The original part of the house is believed to date to the mid 17th century but has been substantially extended by the present vendors to create extensive, versatile accommodation extending to some 1785sqft, mainly on the ground floor. It retains a wealth of character features but has a re fitted oil fired combi boiler providing heating and hot water. The property has been well maintained but offers the potential for a buyer to update it and put their own stamp on it.

The accommodation includes hallway, sitting room with open fireplace, adjoining reception room with fixed ladder to another room above offering potential for various uses such as a snug. Also within the original house is a breakfast room with original range, rear hall, kitchen with range cooker and two first floor double bedrooms both with built in wardrobes. Within the ground floor extension are large dining room, pantry, bathroom, shower room and utility room.

Outside is a large garage that has been extended and an adjoining work shop. These offer immense potential to be developed further if required subject to relevant consents. The external space provided by the property is another key feature that it offers. The land is approaching two acres including paddock land, spinney and orchard. Early viewing is an absolute must to fully appreciate and avoid disappointment.

Heckington is much sought-after village offering excellent amenities including a train station, a very pleasant central village green and a unique working windmill with an associated micro-brewery, two pubs, Co-op supermarket, doctor’s surgery, pharmacy and two cafes. There are various other shops including dentists, hair salons, beauticians, award winning butchers and greengrocer/florists.
