Set into the hillside in the heart of the attractive rural village of Nettleton, this unique, highly individual detached house provides three/four-bedroom accommodation on three floors with interesting split-level rooms enjoying rear views over the mature rear garden to paddock land beyond.  

Directions From the Market Square in Caistor, turn down Plough Hill by the bollards and follow the road which continues along Horse Market. After the sharp right bend and small rise, you will be on Nettleton Road. Follow the road to the T junction and turn right along the A46. Follow the road and on arriving in Nettleton take the left turn along Church Lane. Follow the lane past the attractive stone-built church and look for Mansgate Hill on the left – Paddock View is a short distance up the hill on the right and is totally deceptive from the lane – belying the extent of the property within. 

Location: Nettleton is a picturesque village in an area of outstanding natural beauty and situated less than 1-mile (1.6 km) south-west of Caistor market town. There is a primary school, and a Methodist Church. The village public house is the Salutation Inn. Nearby is the Woodland Trust's Nettleton Wood. The property falls in the catchment area of the highly regarded Caistor Grammar School. 

The Property We understand that this highly individual detached family residence was built during the 1970's with brick-faced cavity walls beneath main pitched timber roof structures covered in concrete tiles with inset dormer. Flat roof sections now have fibreglass roof coverings. The house has uPVC framed, double glazed windows, complementary white uPVC fascias, soffit boards and external boarding to the side dormer. Heating is provided by a Camray oil-fired central heating boiler supplemented by a feature stone fireplace with open grate in the lounge. The intriguing room layout features a number of split-level floors with versatile accommodation to include a top floor spacious double bedroom with an en suite shower room, two double bedrooms and a bathroom on the lower ground floor, together with a hallway and central study or possible fourth bedroom having a French door onto the rear garden. The lounge is a spacious full-width room within the rear wing of the house and particularly light with large windows and a French door onto a projecting balcony which takes full advantage of the views across the garden and countryside. The split-level dining kitchen is a further notable feature of the accommodation with oak-fronted units, integrated appliances and a spacious dining/seating area with window overlooking the front garden.
