Owners Comments

We’ve created our own website to express our views and present our home as we know it. It’s a sizeable distinctive property spread over one floor, situated in a rare prime location. The value for money price of our property sale is £249,950.

For buyers who’re searching for extra living space and larger accommodation room sizes than is usually found in bungalows, our property satisfies this requirement as it’s 1680 Sq-feet of habitable space.

In addition, our property in the rural hamlet of Pilham Gainsborough North Lincolnshire, offers home seekers the added opportunity to increase the existing huge total living area by about 25% without major structural building works. This can be achieved by converting the integral garage into extra rooms to benefit from an additional 410 Sq-feet.

Being mindful that websites can reach a wide variety of potential purchasers, our aim is to describe and effectively communicate accurate information about the residence we’re selling as well as the tranquil setting of our rare property location. Buyers can rely on our description and specifications so as to distinguish, evaluate and tell between other properties that are for sale prior to viewing.

As we’re not estate agents, we’ve adopted our own system to feature information from which to gauge the suitability of a property sale. The vital ingredients of this approach are to include useful informative facts about the entire property. Not everybody wants the same, but with everything on display, you can then select the features that appeal to and match your requirements.

You’ll find correct information throughout our website, without frills, but supported by precise descriptions and sizes of the accommodation and the exterior. This will enable you to compare properties for sale like with like. We’ve set out the information so that you can navigate to those parts of a home that you feel are of importance to you.

Gothic brickwork archway to property entrance

Typically, our descriptions feature key facts like this example for the main property entrance. Formed by a brick built cathedral gothic archway. Weather protection extends 3 feet beyond a 2’9” wide hardwood mahogany entrance door with ‘bullseye’ glazed light and glazed panels to either side. The entrance reception hall is 15’9” x 8’5” or 133 Square Feet, say about the size of a double bedroom 12 Feet by 11 Feet. An external ‘lantern’ courtesy light is adjacent to the archway. Also a weatherproof security locked letterbox is fitted to the inside of the archway. Bell push alongside.

You’ll find full details of all interior features on our ‘accommodation’ page. These include room sizes, wall and ceiling fittings as well as inbuilt services such as socket outlet plugs, wall switches, telephone points and TV aerials. We’ve included several photographs here, to visualise what to expect about our property sale. To guide you further, we’ve set out a plan layout of all the rooms. Use this link to take a look at the floor plan property sale layout Pilham Gainsborough The photograph alongside typically illustrates the interior with accompanying descriptions. This shows the importance we attach to an imposing front entrance hallway. The first room a visitor encounters at 15’9” x 8’5” overall or 133 Sq-Feet. In practical terms it’s the same as say a double bedroom of 12 Feet by 11 Feet. This typifies how roomy this property is. Other living space in the bungalow is designed to provide plenty of comfortable area to live in with lots of legroom. For example, you’ll see that even each bathroom space is large enough to be a good sized bedroom. Why not take a look to see for yourself ?. The entrance captures ample natural light from two glazed doors to either side plus the front entrance glazed panels as well as a 24 pane glazed lounge window. The corridor shown, leads to the dining room, then the kitchen and conservatory beyond. Access from the entrance hallway is through the glazed door shown. Reclaimed ancient terracotta floor tiles (7”x 7”) are laid throughout this whole area. It’s up to us to let you know what this property sale has to offer. Please don’t hesitate to contact us and send us an Email message if you need clarification on any points that you’re unsure about.

Location and Property History

The rural hamlet of Pilham near Gainsborough in Lincolnshire dates back to Norman times. In describing the settlement, we’d say that it’s a unique quiet verdant oasis perched on elevated land amidst open farming countryside. There are 60 inhabitants and 23 dwellings set amongst a variety of about 300 mature trees. We’ve got 7 trees within our property boundary.

It’s noticeably apparent, on entering the hamlet via “Green Lane” by All Saints Church, that the natural elevated ground levels must have been the key criteria upon which to found the Church. This is noticeable in the front elevation photograph photo of our property below.

Higher natural ground levels such as these provide effective natural land drainage. Also in Norman times with no roads or transport, signalling between the tops of nearby church towers was a useful communication facility. For instance, from Corringham church, to Pilham, to Blyton and to Laughton, these all being within a few miles of each other.

The property we’re selling by private sale, is also situated in a beneficial elevated position directly opposite the South elevation of All Saints church. Our house slab level is similar to that of the church and we are both well above the road surface of “Green Lane” that separates us both.

These gently sloping land contours are a striking natural feature of our Pilham location. It’s a big advantage and great comfort to know that all land surface water drains off naturally and leaves no standing water on our land. In addition, all rainwater from our roof is guttered into drainpipes that discharge into several collection pits below ground level.

No floods have occurred since our occupation in 1988 and none before that to the best of our knowledge. We should add that our property sale location in Pilham Gainsborough is not regarded by the Environment Agency as a flood risk zone.

The exit from our large driveway slopes downwards and faces on to the entrance to Pilham Hall. This too is situated in an elevated position, once being the residential seat of the Gainsborough industrialist Marshall family

The Marshall’s family are now commemorated by the new Marshall’s Yard retail shopping precinct in Gainsborough. It’s situated at their former factory location in the town centre and provides 27 new stores, 2 restaurants, plus a health club and landscaped plaza. More local information at http://www.marshallsyard.co.uk

Consequently, the fact that this prestigious family chose to live in the rural hamlet of Pilham from around 1800 onwards in preference to other localities, is a clear endorsement that this location has much to commend it.

We fell in love with this setting as soon as we saw it, and purchased the land, which was then an orchard, at an auction. It’s been a pleasure and a privilege to live here for 21 years. But now we’ve decided to put this property up for private sale and move to smaller accommodation.
