Read the full agent description

Carefully shaped over decades to balance its historic origins this four bedroom character cottage with riverside views is situated on one of the most sought-after roads in Deeping St James. It has grown organically, with thoughtful extensions ensuring that the living spaces still honour the building's original soul with modern practicality.

Exposed beams overhead and original brickwork ground the home in its heritage. Unlike a modern build there is a natural flow here, a sequence of rooms that offer both areas for gathering like the sociable Family Kitchen and quieter corners for retreat such as the Lounge and Sitting Room.

Upstairs, you'll find four double bedrooms, the family bathroom and a separate WC all well proportioned for family life, including a fantastic Principal Suite overlooking the garden and river views beyond plus benefiting from an Ensuite Shower Room.

The journey through the house eventually leads you to its finest asset: the garden. The lawn leads down to the water’s edge where the pace of life slows significantly. Here, a private timber deck and a well placed summer house offer a vantage point over the river, providing a quiet space to observe the local wildlife. It is a rare, tranquil spot that feels entirely removed from the bustle of the day.

The location of the cottage manages to feel both private and perfectly positioned for the best that Deeping has to offer. Just along the road, a local cafe provides an easy spot for a morning coffee, while the The Waterton Arms is only a short walk away for an evening meal. With a private driveway for off road parking and plenty of additional space on the street for visitors, the practicalities are well covered.
