4 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

A characterful Lincolnshire longhouse with four bedrooms, in the idyllic village of Corringham.

Description

Church Farmhouse is a semi-detached traditional Lincolnshire longhouse built in the early 1800s and beautifully maintained over the years, with many original features remaining. The property has a quiet setting next door to St Laurence's Church, over which there are lovely views. Internally the house is beautifully presented in a bright and vibrant style, with exposed beams and brickwork, wood floors, picture rails and attractive fireplaces, as well as a traditional country style kitchen with flagstone flooring, central island, and Neff ovens and hob. The layout is well planned and spacious, offering more than 2200 sq ft, and there is great scope for personalisation by the new owner.

Church Farmhouse was redecorated throughout internally in 2021 and painted externally in 2022. During the Autumn of 2023 the house was completely re-roofed in an attractive composite slate, the entire roof-space re-insulated with new guttering and soffits. It is well presented throughout. The ground floor has fantastic character and many of the rooms are dual aspect, offering a pleasant outlook over both the garden and neighbouring church; as well as good natural light throughout the day. Families will appreciate the three separate reception rooms, creating space for both formal entertaining and relaxation, while the fully fitted kitchen is also a good size room leading to a useful utility room and WC. Upstairs the four bedrooms are all double size, and two have built-in storage. The principal bedroom has an en suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms share a family bathroom.

To the rear of the house there is a large driveway with parking for about six vehicles, as well as the detached garage which also features storage space, two offices and a WC. The lawned gardens features a variety of mature trees including silver birch, willow and apple.
