4 bed detached house for sale

Station Road, Spalding PE12

A Rare Gem – Circa 1680 Detached Cottage
Long Sutton, Lincolnshire
(On the border of Norfolk and Cambridgeshire)

Chain Free

Widely believed to be the oldest cottage in Long Sutton, this beautiful country home was originally three smaller cottages built circa 1680. Over the years, they have been skilfully converted into a wonderfully spacious four-double-bedroom detached house.

The cottage oozes old-world charm with exposed beams, flagstone floors, open fireplaces, a Norfolk pantiled roof, and gently sloping ceilings in some rooms. At the same time, the decor has been refreshed to create a light, modern cottage feel without losing that cosy, low-ceilinged character.

Outside:
Surrounded by a large, established country cottage garden filled with wildflowers, shrubs, and mature trees, complete with a traditional well in the back garden. To the front, there is ample off-road parking for numerous vehicles, with an additional triangular piece of land to the side of the property providing an extra parking space.

Location:
Situated on one of the most desirable roads in the quaint market town of Long Sutton, Lincolnshire – conveniently positioned on the border of Norfolk and Cambridgeshire – the property is within walking distance of local shops, banks, and amenities. The beautiful Norfolk coastline is just a 40-minute drive away, offering unspoiled sandy beaches, birdwatching, paddling, and picnics. The Sandringham Estate, the much-loved country retreat of His Majesty The King, is only 30 minutes away. For commuters, King's Lynn (20 minutes) provides excellent road and rail links to London via King's Lynn or Peterborough.

This unique period home is offered chain free – a rare opportunity to acquire a truly characterful family property.
