Fine & Country are delighted to bring to the market this delightful extended cottage in the highly sought-after village of Bassingham. If you are searching for a characterful home to fall completely in love with, which has been modernised throughout, then look no further. Combining practical space through four bedrooms (3 doubles and 1 single currently used as an office) and three reception rooms, with period features and a "secret garden".
Prudence Cottage lies in the very heart of this idyllic village and a mere stones throw from the local playing field and the local shops. Attractively positioned in a row of similar homes, the cottage stands out among the others due to the sheer size. Sympathetically extended some years previously, the property offers versatile accommodation which is well suited to family life.
The current owners have extensively updated the property, including new bathrooms, bespoke handmade oak lined storage throughout, new flooring, a full redecoration and new entertainment spaces outside, including a large patio either side of the summer house.
The first floor houses all four bedrooms. Three doubles and a single room. The single is more likely to be used as a study space due to sloping ceilings, whereas the other three bedrooms are of a good size.
The landing from which all rooms are accessed deserves a special mention due to the Velux windows and a sun pipe creating a delightfully bright and quirky space with sloping ceilings and further storage.
Seller Insights
“We love the village – it must be one of the most desirable in the area as it is in such a great position – and we love the cottage which feels like it is hugging you!”
“We have extensively updated the property, including fitting new bathrooms, and a local joiner handcrafted the bespoke, oak-lined and soft-close storage throughout; we’ve added new flooring and carpets, as well as fully redecorating, whilst outside we created new entertainment spaces including a large patio either side of the summer house.”
“The first floor houses all four bedrooms: three doubles and a single. We have used the single as a study space due to sloping ceilings, whereas the other three bedrooms are of a good size. The landing, from which all rooms are accessed, deserves a special mention due to the rooflights and a sun-pipe which help to create a delightfully bright and quirky space with sloping ceilings and further storage.”
“The garden at the back is exceptionally private. It looks lovely all year round with evergreen hedging and shrubs. The cottages were originally farmworkers’ and the little brick building is an old Victorian pigsty – it is very handy for storage. There is a closed off area with raised beds for fruit and veg; we harvest a lot of raspberries, strawberries and blackberries. Behind this is a chicken run. There’s also a little pond, and another beside the parking area, which are great for insects and nature. There are plenty of places to sit outside with the two new patios and an area for sitting round our firepit beside which is a spot for a pizza oven.”
“It’s a very friendly community here. The village is well served with its own school, GP surgery, corner shop and post office, a Spar shop with a butcher’s and two very good pubs that serve food. A really nice play-park is only 200 metres from the house and there are loads of lovely walks particularly past the weir just outside the village. Newark is about a 15-20 minute drive and Lincoln between 20 and 25 minutes. An excellent secondary school is only 10 minutes’ away but there are many to choose from with bus services to them all from the village.”
