Our Home For Exchange
Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Set in a private development of 4 houses (built three years ago), our attractive home is situated on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds.
It offers a lovely open plan living space and a large ground floor bedroom (6’ bed) with en-suite bath and separate walk in shower. Upstairs is another double bedroom (5’ bed) with en-suite shower.
The enclosed garden backs onto open farmland with fabulous views. We have a variety of excellent country walks from the doorstep.
Toynton All Saints is a quiet village but less than two miles from the market town of Spilsby with full facilities and an easy drive to the beautiful Lincolnshire coast with quiet sandy beaches (many dog friendly), nature reserves and seal sanctuaries.
The towns of Louth, Horncastle, Alford and historic Woodhall Spa are all within less than half an hour.
A little further afield offers the Roman City of Lincoln with its wonderful cathedral, castle, historic Steep Hill and varied shopping. Also within reach are Grantham / Belton House and Gardens, Stamford / Burleigh House and Peterborough.
