An attractive detached character cottage positioned on a good size plot with off-road parking space, gardens and seating areas. Three double bedrooms, first floor bathroom, two reception rooms, modern breakfast-kitchen, entrance lobby with cloaks/WC off and boiler/utility room. Oil Central Heating system and detached former wash house to the rear. For Sale with NO CHAIN.

Directions Commencing at the prominent Humberside Airport, travel east along the A18 road for a short distance, passing the airstrip on the right side and at the first crossroads turn left onto the Croxton Road. After a short distance turn second right into High Street and then follow the lane for a short distance until number 18 is found on the left side.

The Property We estimate this attractive detached cottage to date back to late Victorian times. The cottage has brick built principal walls beneath a pitched timber roof structure covered in natural slate with decorative shaped fascia boards to the gables. Heating is by an oil central heating system and there is a log-burning stove. The windows are generally timber framed with double-glazed panes and multi-pane in style which suits the character of the building. To the rear is the detached former washhouse which still has the original brick built copper but now forms a useful store.

Location Kirmington village is less than a mile from the Humberside Airport and therefore an ideal location for aircraft enthusiasts. There is a Grade 2 Listed Anglican church, a Wesleyan Chapel and primary school with pre-school facilities. The market town of Brigg is around 7 miles to the west and there is easy motoring to the M180, linking with the national motorway network.
