Steps down from the kitchen lead to the particularly bright, south facing sitting room and adjoining dining room. Steps up from the kitchen take you to a generous utility room which leads through to rooms that could be converted to an annex (subject to planning): a bathroom with a bath and shower over, a living room with French doors and a bedroom. These rooms are very flexible and have been used in the past to run a business, accommodate longer term guests and extend the general living area. On the first floor the luxurious, west facing master suite benefits from a walkin wardrobe and a stylish en-suite with oak floor, twin circular basins on an oak cupboard, a large double-ended bath, and an impressive walk-in shower. Three further double bedrooms, one currently used as a study, lead off a light airy landing and share a fully tiled bathroom with bath and shower over. An airing cupboard is on the landing.

Adjoining the property are two garages, each with double doors, the second with

and is bordered by lawns, mature trees and shrubs and provides parking for several vehicles.

The garden stretches beyond the garages where a spacious grass area would take two of the three potential properties; the other would stand at the front in between Little Farm and its neighbour to the west.The approved (November 2021) outline plans are available to view on South Kesteven District Council’s website Ref. S21/1463, or from the agent. The location of the property is very handy being close to the A15 giving good road links to many local towns. It’s a ten-minute drive to Bourne, where its co-ed state grammar school is rated Outstanding by Ofsted. It is also about half an hour to Stamford, Grantham and Spalding, all of which give a wide choice of excellent schools.The village of Rippingale is a very friendly place with plenty of community spirit and things going on. It is reputed the village of Rippingale and The Bull Inn were the inspiration for the radio drama ‘The Archers’. The Bull is a thriving pub serving food and is opposite the church, both a short walk from Little Farm.
