Details

Walters of Grantham are Proud to Present This Stunning Converted Old School House Oozing with Character in Colsterworth!

Tucked away on the aptly named School Lane in the heart of Colsterworth, this beautifully converted former schoolhouse offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history. Originally built in 1824 from local limestone and thoughtfully converted in 1976, the property has been tastefully renovated in recent years while preserving its character and charm. The bathrooms, kitchen, and utility room have all been updated recently, along with a new roof and updated fascia boards, ensuring a modern standard of living. With 3/4 bedrooms and a versatile layout that includes a kitchen, utility room, dining room, living room, and conservatory, there’s plenty of space to make this unique home your own. The south-facing rear garden enjoys views of the village church, and with a double garage, a substantial shed/outbuilding adjoining, and excellent access to the A1, this is a perfect blend of rural tranquillity and modern convenience.

The Location

Colsterworth is a well-served and historic village that combines rural charm with everyday convenience. It offers a primary school, nursery, village church, local shop, Co-op, and a mobile post office that visits weekly. The White Lion pub provides a friendly spot for food and drink, adding to the community feel. Perfect for commuters, the village has excellent access to the A1, while those who enjoy the outdoors will love the many peaceful countryside walks nearby. Just a short stroll away is Woolsthorpe, the birthplace of Sir Isaac Newton, where his childhood home, Woolsthorpe Manor, is now a National Trust site—a unique piece of history on your doorstep.

The Property

Living Room

This well-proportioned living room blends comfort with period charm. A log-burning stove set into a simple stone surround creates a welcoming focal point, while solid wood parquet flooring adds warmth and character underfoot. Windows to both the front and rear aspects allow natural light to flow through the space, each framed by exposed stonework and set into deep sills that reflect the property’s thick original walls. It’s a versatile and inviting room that respects the building’s heritage.

Hallway

The hallway serves as a central point of the home, with the main entrance opening into this practical and well-laid-out space. Featuring the same solid wood parquet flooring as the lounge, it offers access to all ground floor rooms and includes a radiator for practicality. A distinctive "balcony" style staircase leads to the first floor, adding character while maintaining an open feel.

Dining Room

Accessed from the hallway, the dining room features Pergo mahogany-effect flooring, known for its durability and backed by a lifetime guarantee. Patio doors open directly into the conservatory, allowing light to flow through the space and creating a natural connection between the two rooms. A radiator is also in place, and the layout comfortably accommodates a dining table, making it a functional space for everyday use or hosting.

Kitchen

The kitchen has been newly fitted in recent years and is both modern and practical in its layout. It features tiled flooring, a large range cooker with extractor above, and a generous amount of luxurious granite worktop and cupboard space. A large inset sink and integrated dishwasher are neatly built in, and a breakfast bar provides a useful spot for casual dining or everyday tasks. A window to the rear aspect lets in natural light, and the kitchen flows directly through to the utility room for added convenience.

Utility Room

The utility room continues the tiled flooring from the kitchen, creating a seamless transition between the two spaces. It houses the recently installed combi boiler and provides ample room for a washing machine, dryer, and fridge/freezer. Additional cupboard and worktop space makes this a highly functional area, ideal for keeping everyday tasks neatly tucked away from the main kitchen.

Conservatory

The conservatory is a bright and practical space, benefiting from a south-facing position and views of the village church. Accessed via patio doors from the dining room, it features the same Pergo mahogany-effect flooring for a consistent finish. With a solid brick-built base, the room feels sturdy and well integrated into the property. It’s fitted with electrics and also has patio doors leading directly out to the south-facing garden and patio area, making it a versatile space for relaxing or entertaining.

Snug / Bedroom Three

Accessed from the hallway, this versatile room is currently used as a snug but would also serve well as a third bedroom. It features recently fitted carpets, a radiator, and a large window to the side aspect overlooking the garden. The exposed stone wall at the rear adds character and highlights the building’s original construction. Its location near the downstairs shower room makes it a convenient option for guests or ground floor living.

Downstairs Shower Room

The downstairs shower room has been recently renovated, featuring tiled flooring and tiled walls around the shower cubicle. It includes a toilet, sink, and radiator, with a frosted window to the front aspect ensuring privacy. The deep inset window sill highlights the original wall thickness, adding a unique touch to this modern and practical space.

Master Bedroom

The master bedroom is exceptionally spacious, providing plenty of room for a king-size bed and a variety of furniture. Beautiful exposed beams add a touch of rustic charm to the room, enhancing its sense of character and warmth. Newly fitted carpets provide a soft and comfortable finish, complementing the room’s inviting atmosphere. The room also features an en-suite, a radiator, and a south-facing window, which floods the space with natural light, making it bright and airy throughout the day.

En-suite

The en-suite is a beautifully appointed, compact space, offering all the essentials with a sink, toilet, and shower. The room features a striking wooden beam running through the centre of the ceiling, adding a unique touch. The walls and floors are fully tiled, with modern fittings that have been newly installed, such as underfloor heating, creating a fresh and stylish feel. It’s the perfect addition to the master bedroom, offering both convenience and elegance.

Bedroom Two

Bedroom two is almost as spacious as the master, offering an impressive amount of room for various furniture arrangements. Newly fitted carpets provide a fresh, clean finish, while wooden beams running through the ceiling enhance the room's distinctive appeal. A window to the side aspect allows natural light to fill the space, and a radiator ensures the room remains well-tempered throughout the year. It’s an inviting and versatile room that could serve a range of purposes.

Bedroom Four

Bedroom four is a versatile space with a radiator and a window to the rear aspect, allowing natural light to fill the room. It offers plenty of potential for a variety of uses, whether as a bedroom, home office, or study. The room is ready to be tailored to suit your needs and is a great addition to the property.

Family Bathroom

The family bathroom is a stylish and functional space, featuring tiled flooring and a tiled shower cubicle. It is fitted with a freestanding bathtub, a sink, and a toilet, offering everything you need for everyday comfort. A deep inset frosted window ensures privacy while allowing natural light to brighten the room. The combination of modern finishes and classic features creates a welcoming atmosphere.

Garden

The property boasts multiple gardens, each offering something unique. The side garden is south-facing, featuring a patio area with views of the nearby church, a well-maintained lawn, and mature trees and shrubs, creating a peaceful retreat. It is easy to maintain and wraps around to connect the additional rear garden. This space is predominantly patio and gravel, with direct access to the utility room, making it an ideal spot for outdoor seating and entertaining.

The front aspect garden stretches away from the driveway, providing a larger area perfect for keen gardeners. It benefits from a well-established lawn, multiple flower beds, and a greenhouse at the far end. This garden offers plenty of potential for further planting or landscaping.

All gardens are open, in keeping with the peaceful nature of the village, though they can easily be enclosed with additional gates and fences, making them suitable for pets or added privacy.

Double Garage

The double garage is generously sized, offering ample space for vehicles or a workshop. With a pitched roof and boarded interior, it provides excellent headroom and storage options. The garage is access via a utility door or the main garage door on the front side. This versatile space has great potential for future conversion, whether you wish to transform it into additional living space, a home office, or another use that suits your needs. It’s a valuable feature that adds both practicality and long-term potential to the property.

Shed / Outbuilding

To call this a shed is an understatement. This spacious structure spans the length of the garage at the rear, offering plenty of room for storage of outdoor tools, equipment, and more. Accessed directly from the south-facing garden, it provides a practical and easily accessible storage solution, making it an excellent addition for those who need extra space for gardening or outdoor hobbies.
