INFORMATION

We bought the property off plan when it was built almost 20 years ago. As well as being a beautifully designed and built home it was also all about the location, location, location! It’s such a lovely environment for children to grow up in. Being in a small cul de sac, us being in the corner, it is very quiet, there is no passing traffic and we are not overlooked in the rear garden. We have three large communal areas, council owned and maintained, one at the front, the other in the opposite corner and the third is a small spinney which runs down the side of our house, where our three children used to play with all the neighbours’ children, which they endearingly called ‘the forest’! This joins up with the communal areas giving the children plenty of freedom in a safe environment. The neighbours are all lovely - we all look out for one another - the local primary school is a great little school plus there are so many other facilities to offer in Saxilby.”

“Transport is amazing here. You can choose to go into the city either by train, bus, bicycle, car or even a boat. It’s about a 15 minute drive into the centre but there are cycle routes as well as the river and railway. The bus stop is about a 5 minute walk, and the train station is about a 15 minute walk. Trains go into Lincoln but also to cities elsewhere such as Sheffield and Leeds.”

“The small development of about 26 houses was constructed by a local builder from Newark, Able Homes, ensuring quality build and a good variety of styles. We extended it with the modern extension at the back about 2 years ago. We also fitted a new, bespoke kitchen knocking down the wall to link the kitchen with the new extension. It works so beautifully, a great entertaining space, full of light and where you can really bring the outside in. The original exterior French doors into the living room add to the freely flowing spaces, ideal if entertaining on a large scale.”

“It is incredibly quiet here and the views from the back of the house are wonderful across the countryside where you can see - far in the distance - the train, looking like a toy train! On a good day you can see all the way to Retford. Being a west facing garden, the sunsets are tremendous all year round particularly with the huge Lincolnshire skies. We benefit from the sun at the front in the morning and then from mid to late morning right through to the evening sunset it shines on the back garden. It has been a pleasure to be so close to nature as we see a lot of different wildlife in the fields behind: woodpeckers, birds of prey including owls, also deer, foxes, hares and hedgehogs, just to name a few!” *
