Scrane End, Freiston, Boston PE22 0LT

Chapel House in the quiet, rural hamlet of Scrane End is just around the corner from the Freiston Shore Nature Reserve and is the perfect location for a buyer looking for a quiet life surrounded by open skies and country walks. Although in a rural position, Freiston village centre is just over a mile away and has amenities to include two pubs, a family run butchers, village store and local vets and the historic market town of Boston is only 4 miles away.

What was supposed to be a refurbishment ended up being a total renovation for our current sellers when they bought the property in 2012 with the unexpected addition of a second floor being included in the final plans. A new buyer will benefit from the fact that absolutely everything has been updated within these last few years to include the whole roof, all doors and windows, new electric and heating systems in addition to a new kitchen, shower room and bathroom. The majority of the walls are also new and so many benefit from cavity wall insulation too with the sellers keen to point out that their 'modern country' cottage is beautifully warm and cosy.

With the use of natural materials where possible, the cottage is a clever combination of character features mixed with a light, modern feel too. The modern glazed gable extension allows the light to flood into the spacious farmhouse style kitchen which has a sandstone floor, handmade kitchen and Rayburn cooker, as well as ample space for sofas and other furniture. The decor is light and neutral throughout and a good contrast to the wood of the latch doors and floors. An exposed brick fireplace in the lounge houses a Clearview multi-fuel stove which can also supply hot water and heating throughout the winter months and the en-suite includes a lovely Victorian style free-standing slipper bath.

The attractive, private garden is filled with cottage style flowering plants and fruit trees and a lovely garden studio with a shower room which would make an ideal home office, hobbies room or even an occasional guest room. It is situated on a patio courtyard at the back of the cottage which literally has the best sunset views that Lincolnshire can offer.
