Seller Insights
“The house is located in such a quiet position, tucked away off the main street at the end of a cul-de-sac. So, there’s no traffic going past the house, which gives you a real sense of privacy and security. The garden is fully enclosed on all sides so you can relax with family or friends without being overlooked. We’ve installed CCTV security all around the property for that added peace of mind.”
“We’ve found that the house is very cosy and warm in winter but also very light and open in the summer months – perfect for entertaining friends or having a barbeque on the patio. The extension was specifically designed with entertaining in mind. The light, airy feel is complemented by the interior design and muted colour scheme.”
“We wanted to give the house a luxury feel with top-of-the-range kitchen appliances and features such as underfloor heating. There are lots of little details such as an in-built wine cooler on the island, numerous USB ports and kettle/toaster points neatly tucked away in the cupboards.”
“You’ll find a huge amount of storage space in the house – from built-in wardrobes in the bedrooms to storage in the garage and a boarded loft. So, you’ll never be short of places to put coats, bag, shoes and other belongings.”
“Wilsford is a lovely village, with a close-knit community and a real neighbourly vibe. It’s a great location for a family. There are always lots of things going on in the village hall. The local pub (The Plough Inn) has recently been taken over by new owners and the food is great. It’s often difficult to get a table at short notice as it’s so popular.”
“Ancaster, which is just over a mile away, has an excellent doctors’ surgery and you can always get an appointment when you need one. You’ll also find a supermarket, butcher’s shop and a huge leisure centre in Ancaster. There are further leisure and sports facilities in nearby Sleaford and Grantham.”
“You’ve got beautiful countryside right on your doorstep. There are gorgeous country walks around Heydour and Culverthorpe – both of which are just a short drive away. There’s so much to explore in the local area. It’s great for afternoons out with family and friends.”
“You’ll find lots of fantastic schools locally, including a very popular primary school in South Rauceby. There are also several grammar schools in the local area.”
“Wilsford offers the best of both worlds. You’ve got the benefit of being in a rural location but with excellent road and rail links to major cities within easy reach.”
