  • Enjoy a peaceful romantic break in this gorgeous cottage with bubbling hot tub
  • Nestled on a quiet country lane surrounded by footpaths and wildlife
  • Try the famous 'coal fired'  takeaway fish and chips every weekend in the next village along

 

Property code: 66230

Relax in this peaceful village in this former toll house, which dates back to 1762, and explore the surrounding countryside, enjoy the famous coal fired fish and chips in the next village of Upton or the indulgent ice cream parlour at Blyton. There is a wildlife pond with nearby seating close to the cottage and this provides a great place to sit and enjoy the peace and tranquillity, also nearby is a private airfield originally built for WW2 and if you are lucky you will see some really unique aircrafts, as well as the home of The Red Arrows being in Lincolnshire they regularly practise in the skies over the area. Further afield Hemswell Antiques Centre is a great day out as is the city of Lincoln.

Stepping into the entrance hall, kick off  your shoes and coats and wander through to the kitchen, decorated in neutral tones giving it a bright and airy feel. The kitchen offers everything you need to cook up a good meal during your stay, such as a fridge, electric oven and hob, plus seating and a table for two. Moving through to the lounge with reclining leather sofa you might find hard to leave, so put your feet up in front of the TV and enjoy some well earned rest, the low beams really add to the character of the cottage. The double bedroom is cosy and serene and provides a good night’s sleep with a window overlooking the garden. Whether it’s a long soak in the stunning freestanding bath, or invigorating shower with a giant rainfall shower head, the bathroom caters for everyone, whatever your preference.

Outside the enclosed garden offers a hot tub with parasol over allowing you to enjoy it whatever the weather, there is nearby seating if you fancy dining alfresco and plenty of space to let the dogs run around. Off-road parking is available for two cars.
