Vendor Insights

“The house is situated in a beautiful location, with countryside views all around the property. You can’t hear any traffic; it’s just so quiet. The paddocks are lined with mature trees, including oak, linden, bay and a beautiful weeping willow. It’s a secluded setting so you can enjoy real peace and tranquillity sitting on the patio on a summer’s evening. We never tire of looking at the views.”
“The house has a spacious feel. It’s flooded with light thanks to the large windows – including a stunning bay window in the living room. The hallway is spacious too, with an open-plan staircase and a galleried wall that extends up to the first-floor landing area.”

“The annexe offers versatile, self-contained accommodation that could be used for multigenerational family living or as a holiday let, although that would be subject to the necessary consents. The annexe has a very warm and cosy feel, with excellent energy efficiency. It has its own electricity meter, which is handy to track usage separately from the main house. There is some scope to update the annexe too and put your own mark on it.”

“The paddocks offer a real development opportunity. This land will appeal to all kinds of buyers, including equestrian users looking for paddock space or business use. Equally, it would appeal to families or even entrepreneurs looking to rent out the land, subject to gaining the necessary permissions.”

“North Scarle is a very friendly village. You can get involved in a wide range of community sports such as cricket, bowls and activities in the local hall. Collingham and Swinderby, which are both just a few miles away, have a wider range of retail and sporting amenities, including a Co-op store, a cricket club and a football club. Lincoln is just 25 minutes away by car.”

“There are excellent road and rail links locally. For commuters, there are direct trains to London from Newark in just over an hour. You also have good road links across the region and nationally via the A1 and A46.”
