SELLER INSIGHT

We originally rented the property and always wanted to own it. We bought somewhere else in the village as we love it here, and eventually persuaded the owner to sell it to us! We have been here 10 years and it has been a great family home. Being in a cul de sac it’s very quiet and pretty safe for children.”

“Since owning the property, we have changed the windows from timber frames to the uPvc ones, and we have upgraded the bathrooms. We also fairly recently installed the eco-friendly log-burners in the two living rooms. They are so cosy and reduce the need for having the central heating on as they tend to heat the whole property.”

“The barn is very cool in summer with its thick stone walls, but it’s a real suntrap outside on the patio. It’s very quiet out there and very private - perfect if you want to entertain in summer with all the French doors opening onto it from every room.”

“It’s a lovely village and we are here to stay but in our smaller property! That’s why there is no chain involved in the sale of The Barn. It’s a buzzing little community and the pub serves wonderful authentic Greek food and has quite a few things going on such as quiz nights and open-mike nights; you can walk to it in 2 or 3 minutes which is very handy. There’s also a village hall which offers various classes such as Pilates, and they often hold village fetes.”

“Our children went to primary school in Digby which is a good little school, although there are others in catchment, and then to secondary in Sleaford catching the school bus that picks up from the village. It has been a great place for bringing up the children.”

“Scopwick is a very pretty and well kept village with the beck running through the middle. There are some lovely walks around here which we discovered in lockdown! There’s a route to Metheringham and, in the other direction, to Martin through Kirby Green and Timberland. There are also lots of cycle paths.”*
