4 bedroom detached house for sale

This unique 1968-built home on Southfield Road in Scartho offers something genuinely different for buyers who appreciate architecture with character, generous glazing, and a strong connection to the outdoors.

Sold with no forward chain, it combines striking mid-century design with flexible living spaces, and a wonderfully private garden setting. While beautifully maintained, it also provides scope for buyers to adjust décor to suit their own style. A rare opportunity to purchase a unique property designed by the renowed architect Rex Critchlow.

Inside

Stepping inside, the property immediately reveals one of its standout features: an almost fully glazed side elevation, flooding the living spaces with natural light and framing uninterrupted views across the garden. The thoughtfully designed layout is impressively flexible, offering multiple reception areas that can adapt to family life, entertaining, home working or hobby use.

Designed by renowned architect Rex Critchlow, the home showcases the clean lines and open-plan feel synonymous with mid-century design. Constructed using traditional masonry, with timber-framed construction to the first-floor bedrooms, the property combines quality construction with its distinctive architectural style. The kitchen, dining and living areas flow naturally together, while the extensive glazing creates a seamless connection between the interior and the surrounding gardens.

Upstairs, the bedrooms are all well proportioned, while the principal bedroom benefits from an ensuite featuring an original fibreglass unit—a rare and charming nod to the property's 1960s heritage. Throughout, the home has been well cared for, with buyers having the opportunity to update the décor to reflect their own tastes if desired.

Outside
Set on a plot of approximately 0.15 acres, the gardens are a true highlight. Mature, private and thoughtfully arranged, they offer a peaceful retreat for anyone who loves outdoor living. A decked seating area provides the perfect spot for relaxing or entertaining, while the lawn and surrounding planting create a sense of calm and seclusion.
Adding to the charm, the garden includes a solar-powered cabin—ideal as a studio, workspace or summer room—and a hidden treehouse, a delightful feature for families or anyone who enjoys a touch of whimsy in their outdoor space.
These gardens will appeal to buyers who value nature, privacy and the opportunity to enjoy their own green sanctuary.

Location
Southfield Road sits within the highly regarded village of Scartho, a location known for its strong community feel, excellent amenities and convenient access to Grimsby, Diana Princess of Wales Hospital, and well-regarded schools. Local shops, cafés and services are all within easy reach, while nearby transport links make commuting straightforward.
It’s a setting that suits a wide range of buyers—from families to downsizers to professionals—especially those seeking a home with individuality and a garden that truly enhances day-to-day living.
