A beautifully presented, three-bedroom barn conversion situated in an elevated position in the popular village of West Keal. The property is nestled on the hillside on this quiet lane and occupies a plot of 0.42 acres (STS). The property briefly comprises kitchen opening to dining room and boot room, a spacious lounge with open fire, study and conservatory. There are also three bedrooms, bathroom and separate WC. Externally having extensive driveway leading to the double garage with the beautifully maintained gardens, surrounded by woodland to one side and some superb views across the open countryside. A delightful array of patios, lawn and summer houses complete this superb opportunity.
The property is believed to originally date back to the early 1900s and was converted to a residential building around the year 2000. Since then, the property has undergone further refurbishment with the addition of the garage in 2018, with new doors in 2024. The house also had replacement windows in 2018 and in 2024 the property was upgraded to have an air source central heating system with owned photovoltaic 4.2 kw solar panels on a feedback tariff, creating an economical and efficient home. The bathroom has been recently refurbished and the gardens have been transformed by the current vendors to the beautiful grounds seen today. The extensive plot is well positioned with woodland to one side, with views overlooking the countryside beyond and across to the nearby church of St. Helen's. The property also has high-speed broadband. EPC rating: C.
Directions From Spilsby, travel south on the A16 continuing through East Keal and upon arriving at West Keal, take the right turning onto the A155 main road. Continue for a short distance then take the second right turning into Hall Lane, continue past a few properties and The Spinney will shortly be found on the left-hand side.

Bedroom 2 is also a double bedroom with window to side and carpeted floor, while bedroom 3 is a single bedroom, currently used as a dressing room with an extensive range of built-in wardrobes (2 ft deep), creating a versatile space with window and carpeted floor. The family bathroom has very recently been refurbished, having a corner bath with taps and hand shower attachment, low-level WC, wash hand basin and a separate shower cubicle with sliding glass door and thermostatic mixer.

Outside The property is approached by a five-bar timber gate into the extensive gravel driveway, providing parking for multiple vehicles, the fenced boundary with mature shrubs, bushes and trees creating a very private space. Adjacent the property is a raised terrace with brick retaining wall, giving access to front and side door and also housing the Warmflow air source heat pump. Paving extends around to the rear patio adjacent the conservatory, with retaining wall and steps up to the garden.
There is a beautifully designed, oak-framed garage with pantiled roof covering, remote electric anthracite grey roller doors to front, concrete floor within, electrics and lighting provided with eaves storage space. Connecting door through to a rear store or workshop, adjacent which is the externally accessed log store with open entrance and lighting within.
The rear garden is a delightful space, being mainly laid to lawn with wildflower areas and gently sloping uphill, away from the property, with mature trees and a delightful summer house to one side, overlooking the views across the top of the village below and separate access gates to the road. Beyond the main garden, behind the trees is a further area of garden having two timber garden sheds, as well as a greenhouse. There are lawned and gravelled areas and, to the top, raised borders with a beautiful array of flowering plants and bushes, further gravelled area and a second summer house, enjoying a very peaceful setting with recently fenced boundaries and surrounded by woodland.
