3 Bedroom Detached House

Hidden away down a private country track in the small rural hamlet of Bloxholm, this late 1800s cottage has the kind of setting that’s becoming increasingly difficult to find. With just one neighbouring property, open countryside stretching away to the south and west and Bloxholm Wood nearby, there’s a genuine feeling of being tucked away from it all. Yet it’s surprisingly well connected, sitting around 3.5 miles from the popular village of Ruskington, where you’ll find a good range of everyday amenities, shops and local services. Lincoln is approximately a 20 minute drive away, while the surrounding villages and road network make the property a lovely option for anyone wanting countryside living without feeling completely cut off.

Inside, the cottage has a really welcoming feel, combining the character you’d hope to find in a home of this age with comfortable, modern living. The lounge is a particularly cosy space with its multi-fuel burner providing a natural focal point, while the separate dining room gives you somewhere to sit down for family meals or entertain friends. The modern breakfast kitchen offers plenty of room for everyday life and sits nicely alongside the older character of the cottage. There’s also a useful cloakroom downstairs, while upstairs are three genuinely good size bedrooms together with the family bathroom.

The outside space is a big part of what makes this home so appealing. A large gravelled driveway provides plenty of off-road parking, while the extensive, predominantly south-facing garden feels private, established and wonderfully connected to the surrounding countryside. There’s a patio for sitting out, mature hedging and fencing, useful sheds and stores, as well as a dedicated log store. A separate double glazed timber outbuilding with power and lighting is another real bonus, offering plenty of potential as a home office, studio or hobby room away from the main house.

It’s the setting that really brings everything together here. Bloxholm is surrounded by some lovely countryside and walking routes, with Bloxholm Wood close at hand, yet Ruskington is only a short drive away for day-to-day needs and Lincoln remains comfortably accessible. You can imagine summer evenings in the south-facing garden looking across the fields, winter nights beside the burner and countryside walks almost from the doorstep. For someone wanting a home with genuine character, privacy and a slower pace of life, without giving up those all-important connections, this cottage offers a particularly appealing balance.
