The ground floor accommodation is completed by a bathroom/WC and an enclosed porch.

The first-floor accommodation includes three generously sized double bedrooms and two single bedrooms, all with views, which are served by a shared shower room. It is worth noting that the primary bedroom benefits from two exceptionally spacious storerooms located off this room, one of which has a window, offering the new purchaser both the opportunity and potential to further enhance this particular area.

Externally, the property enjoys a wonderful, private position in this rural location, with a sweeping driveway providing off-street parking for several vehicles. The extensive gardens and paddock land, approaching four acres, feature a wide variety of native trees and offer beautiful views across the Lincolnshire Wolds.

The field can be accessed from the main entrance or via its own private road entrance, adding versatility for a number of uses.

Rivendell House is located in a rural spot on the outskirts of the picturesque village of Hagworthingham, set amidst the rolling countryside of the Lincolnshire Wolds, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Known for its unspoilt landscapes, peaceful walking routes and English charm.

Originally known as Bleaching Farm, the site, which included a spring feeding into a well still present today, served as a refuge for locals' livestock during droughts before being transformed into 'The Animal Glade', a sanctuary for rescued animals such as llamas, coati bears, and donkeys, then later becoming an ice cream parlour and tea room, and eventually a bed and breakfast.

The historic market town of Spilsby lies just a short drive away and provides a variety of shops, cafes, healthcare services, and local schools, including the well-regarded King Edward VI Academy. Equally accessible is the thriving market town of Horncastle, renowned for its antique shops, historic buildings, and vibrant local culture. Weekly markets, independent boutiques, cafes, and traditional pubs give Horncastle a welcoming and lively atmosphere, while larger supermarkets and essential services provide everything residents need. The town is also home to Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School, one of the top-performing schools in the region.

Families will also find a selection of primary schools in nearby villages, along with further educational options in towns such as Louth. The wider area offers a blend of state and independent schooling, catering to a variety of educational needs.

Surrounded by open countryside and scenic bridleways, this location is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, offering opportunities for walking, cycling, and equestrian pursuits. Rivendell House offers the perfect balance of tranquil rural living with access to excellent schooling and a well-rounded lifestyle. The property is also located on the main Lincoln to Skegness bus route, with the bus stopping in close proximity.
