An immaculately presented, converted coach house dating to 1725, sits in a very tranquil spot in an elevated position within the South Lincolnshire village of Colsterworth just a couple of minutes’ drive from the A1. The property provides the perfect, contemporary accommodation for multi-generational living with a two bedroom annex on one side and a spacious home with five bedrooms on the other whilst a good-sized, landscaped garden faces east and south. A wealth of state and independent schools are in the area and trains from Grantham, about 7 miles north, take around an hour to central London making this this an excellent location for commuters with a family desiring a country lifestyle.
