A rare chance to purchase a charming three-bedroom cottage offered with no onward chain, nestling between other historic properties in a conservation area in the heart of the much sought after Lincolnshire Cliff village of Navenby. Built of traditional stone with pantile roof, the property offers flexible living accommodation throughout with a private walled courtyard style garden to the rear, parking and an integral garage.

Attractive Navenby lies on the A607 about 10 miles (15 mins) south of Lincoln and is one of the larger ‘cliff’ villages standing on the limestone escarpment that runs north to south in the centre of Lincolnshire. Newark-on-Trent in Nottinghamshire is about 15 miles (20 mins) southwest, and Sleaford about 10 miles (15 mins) southeast. Fast trains from Newark to central London take around 75 minutes making it perfectly feasible for a day trip into the capital. Grantham is less than a half hour drive south where there is also a train station, fast trains to Kings Cross taking around an hour.

Arranged over two floors, the property provides versatile living accommodation of around 1,200 sq.ft and includes a welcoming entrance hall to the ground floor with WC leading off, a modern kitchen with a range of fitted wall and base units and a 14’10” lounge/dining room. Upstairs, there is a landing area with three good sized bedrooms and a family bathroom which includes a panelled bath, shower cubicle and low level WC.
To the rear, there is a sheltered courtyard style walled garden leading off the kitchen, which provides a private raised seating area with an array of planted beds and creepers. The back garden area is also accessed off Maiden Well Lane via a five bar gated access with space and parking for a vehicle, and in turn leads to an integral garage with double doors. In such a convenient position with everything you might need, and a primary school, all within walking distance, this rare opportunity is ideally suited for a young family, a couple or indeed, an individual.

A few years ago, Navenby was voted one of the top rural locations in Britain in which to live. A charming village with a lovely mix of traditional stone period properties, many listed buildings, it is a thriving community. The property is situated very close to the heart of the village so everything is within an easy walk. There are several family-run shops and businesses such as Welbourne’s Bakery which is one of the longest standing artisanal bakeries in the county, and Welbourne’s Tea Room. The main supermarket is the Co-op although there is a One-Stop convenience store almost opposite; there is a medical centre, two pubs, The Lion & Royal and The King’s Head, as well as the popular Macy’s Brasserie. A new community centre, The Navenby Venue, is a hub of activity for many clubs, classes and events.

Navenby straddles the old Roman Road, Ermine Street, as well as the Viking Way providing wonderful country walks with views across the Trent Valley, and much local history. Mrs. Smith’s Cottage is a popular museum in the village illustrating a century of rural Lincolnshire life.
