Upstairs there are four generous double bedrooms and an attractive family bathroom with rolltop bath and shower and a further shower room. The upper floor has views to the rear over the Lincolnshire Wolds. Mount Pleasant House enjoys a best-of-both-worlds position between the village of Middle Rasen and the market town of Market Rasen. The house is surrounded by farmland and bordered to the north and west by its own grounds which extend to about 10.2 acres. Mature trees envelop the house and garden: native varieties include apple, plum, chestnut, willow and walnut, as well as Chilean pine (monkey puzzle). The gardens to the front of the house face south, designed in a park-like style which provides a striking first impression when arriving via the house’s imposing carriageway driveway. To the west, box hedging provides a sheltered space for outdoor entertaining, with a brick-paved terrace abutting the manicured lawn. The gardens to the north are also enclosed by hedging and incorporating a large lawn, further paved area and garden store. Beyond this, a selection of grassland paddocks is currently used for livery, with water points and electricity. There is potential to install an outdoor school, subject to permissions, while the area includes a network of byways and bridleways for hacking. The property benefits from a range of useful outbuildings, including a detached double garage and a substantial detached workshop. The workshop benefits from planning permission for use as a trailer repair business, the sale and display of goods, and storage and distribution purposes.
