It’s incredibly quiet here, yet we’re only a short drive from local shops, schools, and all the amenities Lincoln has to offer. For us, it’s the ideal balance between countryside living and convenient access to local amenities.”<br/><br/>“The house has a very flexible layout. There are four spacious reception rooms, which flow seamlessly into the kitchen, making it ideal for family life or entertaining. Upstairs, the five bedrooms provide plenty of space, and one, tucked away with a separate staircase, would make a great study, guest room, or nursery.”<br/><br/>“The kitchen, added by the previous owners, is a lovely light-filled space with a gabled roof and exposed beams. It’s where we tend to gather and dine. There are lovely features throughout the house, such as the latch doors and the double-glazed sash windows, which add to the house’s character.”<br/><br/>“Even though the property is already spacious, there’s still so much potential. The large outbuilding could be converted into an annexe, studio or home office (subject to planning), and the paddock offers great scope for equestrian use or simply more outdoor space.”<br/><br/>“The garden was a real draw for me – it’s wonderfully secluded and peaceful. When we first visited, I fell in love with the rose garden, which is full of colour and scent throughout the warmer months. There are lots of fruit trees and bushes in the garden, including apple, pear and plum – which produce the most delicious fruit.”<br/><br/>“There’s so much space for the children to roam around in the garden. They’ve loved being able to explore the garden, play games outside and have fun.”<br/><br/>“One of the things that struck me when we first arrived was just how quiet the roads are – it really is an idyllic setting. My husband and son often cycle to school in the summer months, which is another bonus of country life here.”<br/><br/>“The neighbouring villages of Saxilby and Sturton By Stow are great for everyday essentials, while Lincoln is perfect if you need to do a bigger shop. There’s also a David Lloyd gym and leisure club just a few minutes away in Burton Waters.”<br/><br/>“There are some great places for families around here. Bransby Horses, which is just a few minutes away by car, has a super play park and café. National Trust sites, such as Belton House, are within easy reach. Lincoln is a lovely city with a huge array of shops, places to eat and interesting places to visit. And if you fancy a day by the sea, Sutton-on-Sea has a beautiful beach and it’s only about an hour away.”<br/><br/>Location:<br/><br/>Broxholme is a peaceful hamlet located in beautiful open countryside, offering a quiet rural lifestyle yet within easy reach of local amenities and Lincoln.<br/><br/>The neighbouring village of Saxilby (2.3 miles) has a range of shops, pubs, sports clubs, a primary school, and a railway station (with direct services to Lincoln and Sheffield).
