in National Nature Reserve

£239,950

Perfect weekend escape from London

Planning permission for further 2 bed property

This is a very rare opportunity to buy a lovely house surrounded by acres of woodland that is also part of a community and only 130 low-traffic miles from London. The house is situated within a National Nature Reserve offering 900 acres of ancient woodland and forest walks. The Nature Reserve is famous for its bird and animal life and has its own visitor centre.

The house occupies a half-acre plot with well-stocked and easily maintained informal gardens surrounding the property on three sides. Extensive lawned areas, a large patio, two natural wildlife ponds, an abundance of trees, shrubs and climbing plants all make the gardens special. Far-reaching views across open countryside to Lincoln Cathedral and acres of surrounding woodland, together with numerous bird and wildlife visitors, serve to make this garden exceptional.

The house and gardens are secluded and sheltered by mature conifers to the front and side boundaries and are afforded excellent privacy by their situation at the end of a private country lane, away from the Reserve centre and facilities. The front of the house and rear of the garden receive the morning sun, the side gardens have sun most of the day and the evening sun, together with beautiful sunsets, can be enjoyed from the rear of the house, patio and gardens.

There are no street lights in the Reserve - the nearest 'amber glow' is around four miles away and does not affect the breathtaking night skies; a spectacularly clear Milky Way has been seen many times in autumn and winter.
