FULL WALK-THROUGH VIDEO!
1. SummaryA charming stone-built cottage in the popular village of Appleby, around 15 minutes from the Humber Bridge and four miles from Scunthorpe. Thoughtfully rebuilt while keeping its period character, the property offers around 2,350 sq ft of flexible living space, four bedrooms, three reception rooms and two bathrooms. Outside, there is a walled garden, plenty of parking and a useful studio annex, making this a great choice for home working, a small business or simply enjoying extra space.
From the Agent's PerspectiveFrom our point of view, this is a particularly appealing home for anyone looking for period character without taking on the usual work that can come with an older property. The cottage has been virtually rebuilt from the ground up, giving buyers the best of both worlds: the look and feel of a traditional stone-built home with the practical benefits of modern living.
Set behind a high wall and approached via a long driveway, the property has a real sense of privacy from the moment you arrive. Inside, approximately 2,350 sq ft of accommodation provides plenty of room for family life, entertaining and working from home.
There are four bedrooms, three reception rooms and two bathrooms, giving the house a flexible layout that can adapt to different needs. Whether you want a dedicated office, playroom, sitting room or space for visiting family, there is plenty of choice.
The outdoor space is just as useful. The walled garden has a south-western aspect, providing a lovely setting for outdoor seating, gardening or relaxing during the later part of the day. There is also a versatile outdoor studio annex. Subject to the necessary consents, this could potentially be converted into separate living accommodation, making it particularly useful for those needing additional workspace, guest accommodation or somewhere to run a small business.
The property also benefits from multiple parking spaces, which is a practical feature that is not always easy to find with period homes.
Appleby itself is a highly desirable Lincolnshire village with a strong community feel. It sits on the old Roman Road, Ermine Street, and offers a peaceful village setting while remaining within easy reach of everyday amenities. Scunthorpe and Brigg are both only a few miles away, providing shops, schools, services and other facilities.
With its combination of character, modern improvements, generous accommodation and useful outside space, we feel this is a home that offers plenty of flexibility for modern family life.
Note: There are 13 Yew Trees along the border of the property which are protected. An alarm system is installed inside the property. Appleby lies within the conservation area.
