A period cottage with a pool? What luxury!
Debonnaire Cottage offers buyers just this – a heated outdoor pool makes this grade two listed cottage a fantastic home during the summer months, while its open fire and views out across the valley see it transform into a cosy hub during the colder months.
Situated on a spacious corner plot in the village of Burton, Debonnaire Cottage is as quintessential as they come.
Limestone walls encase versatile accommodation which features light and spacious rooms such as the conservatory, kitchen and three double bedrooms.
Another quirky feature this cottage has to offer? Its own private road signals!
“We have our own traffic light,” said the current owner.
“We’re right on the junction you see, so it’s now nice and easy to get out, it really has been so helpful having the lights.
“The first thing which people will notice, and find a wonderful addition to the house, is the outdoor swimming pool,” she continued.
“The pool itself is heated, and the garden is south facing – it’s like being in the south of France without travelling.
“It’s such a luxury, definitely one you wouldn’t expect to find here.
“It’s what first attracted me to the property, I just thought it would be wonderful to go and take a dip when you felt like it.
“The grandchildren love it, it’s a lovely thing to have.
“The garden houses a workshop too, there’s plenty of room in there.”
Being grade two listed, the cottage is a character property, where a family or couple would feel wonderfully at home.
“Personally, I think someone from further afield would do well to settle here,” added the owner.
“For commuters it’s in a great spot.
“You can buzz down to Newark, hop on a train and you’re in London in no time.
“With the workshop outside there is an office so working from home is a doddle.
“It’s a lovely cottage to live in, it’s homey, it has character. We’ve been very, very happy here.”
Celebrated locally for its beauty, Burton village is a highly-desirable location.
“Also, of course, it’s a marvelous village to live in, especially from a social point of view.
There are wine tastings, tapas nights, and every Sunday the village gets together from 12-5pm at the club. There’s plenty of life in the village,” the vendor added.
“And then of course, there are the beautiful views and picturesque houses.
“You’re less than two minutes from Lincoln in the car, but you’re in the country.
“We are in uphill Lincoln but we have the green wedge between us and the city. It couldn’t be more ideal.”
