Seller insights
“Oakley House was built by the previous owners within the grounds of the former manor house, right in the heart of the village. It’s constructed from Lincolnshire stone and has lovely characterful features, including decorative gargoyles on the exterior walls. While the house has plenty of charm, it’s also very easy to look after.”
“We love entertaining, and the house really lends itself to that. The dining hall serves as a focal point when friends and family visit, with an easy flow-through to the kitchen, then into the garden room and out into the garden. The garden room is where we spend a great deal of our time – it’s a very relaxing space that looks out on the patio areas and St Mary’s Church tower.”
“We currently use one of the downstairs reception rooms as a bedroom, but it could just as easily work as a home office or family room. With a shower room next door, it’s ideal for multi-generational living.”
“Although the house feels spacious, it’s also warm and cosy. The layout has been thoughtfully planned, with lots of built-in storage, including shelving, integrated wardrobes and useful loft space both in the house and above the garage.”
“The garden is very low-maintenance and wonderful, with several seating areas. In the garden, there are some superb shrubs, and the spring blooms are spectacular.”
“The house is tucked away in the old part of Welton. It feels very private – even though you’re right in the heart of the village. Everything is just a short walk away, including the school, village shop and post office, church, medical practice, dentist and the local pub.”
“You’ll find lovely walks in the surrounding countryside. There’s also lots going on locally. The village hall hosts regular fitness classes and a fortnightly farmers’ market. There is also a village football team and playing fields. Nearby, you’ll also find tennis courts, a golf club, a running club and a choir, offering something for everyone.”
“Welton is five miles from the beautiful city of Lincoln, which is wonderful for shopping, leisure and cultural amenities. There are direct rail services from Lincoln and Newark to London. We’re also very fortunate to have excellent bus services into Lincoln from the village, and easy access to the A46 and A15.”
