About this property

Welcome to Holly Cottage, a beautiful and characterful home tucked away on Widows Row, Laughterton (LN1 2LA). Offering approximately 1,300 sq ft of accommodation, this charming freehold cottage dates back to around 1890, with an extension added circa 1980, blending period charm with the space and versatility that modern buyers are looking for.

From the moment you arrive, the property sets the tone with fantastic kerb appeal — a mature garden frontage and a generous gravel driveway providing multiple vehicle off-road parking (enough space for around 8 cars). A real standout feature here is the range of timber outbuildings: three wooden-built storage cabins/garages, all with electrics, offering superb flexibility. Currently, one is used as a home office, the second as a store room, and the third as a garage — and importantly, these structures will remain, making them ideal for home working, hobbies, storage or workshop space.

Step inside via the side entrance and you are welcomed into a useful utility room, which adjoins the kitchen/breakfast room. Both spaces are finished with matching fitted units, integrated appliances, and the kitchen is perfectly complemented by a beautiful Bordeaux-coloured Rangemaster cooker — a real focal point for anyone who loves to cook and entertain.

From the kitchen, the home flows through into a bright dining area filled with natural light, featuring exposed beams and a charming brick-surround fireplace (currently with an electric fire). Continue through and you’ll find the spacious lounge, where a log burner with brick surround creates a cosy, inviting focal point — perfect for winter evenings. Adjoining the lounge is a lovely sun room, again filled with light, with French doors opening out to the garden, creating an easy indoor-outdoor connection in the warmer months.

The ground floor is completed by the main entrance porch and a convenient WC.

Upstairs, the first floor offers three double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefiting from fitted wardrobes, along with a family bathroom.

In practical terms, the property is of brick and block construction with a pantile roof. The owners have also completed various improvements over time including replacement windows, conservatory, kitchen and bathroom updates, and early 2026 saw a couple of damaged roof tiles replaced. Heating is provided via oil central heating alongside the log burner, with the boiler installed in April 2021, under warranty.

The owners have also advised that the property may sit within a wider flood plain area of the River Trent, however in their 22-year tenure this has never posed any problem or risk.

Holly Cottage is a home that offers charm, warmth and flexibility in equal measure — with standout outbuildings, generous parking, and beautifully characterful living spaces. Contact Walters of Lincolnshire today to arrange your viewing.
