The Chapel has been converted from a former Wesleyan place of worship dated 1863 and provides a unique and characterful stone built home standing in a secluded village position within private grounds of approaching a fifth of an acre and adjoins open paddock land. The accommodation extends to approximately 1635 square feet and has been thoughtfully arranged to retain various attractive original features. There is a reception hall with a cloakroom/WC off, a large and impressive open plan kitchen/living room with nicely defined living spaces, a landing/study, four bedrooms and a shower room/WC.

A separate vegetable garden and chicken run have also been created.

Ingoldsby is an attractive rural village lying in a delightful part of south west Lincolnshire yet only approximately 8 miles from Grantham with its amenities and mainline station. The market towns of Bourne and Sleaford are about 10 and 15 miles respectively and the famed Georgian town of Stamford is approximately 20 miles to the south. The village church is dedicated to St Bartholomew. There is a good local primary school and secondary education opportunities include boys and girls grammar schools at Grantham together with public schooling at Stamford. Trains to London (Kings Cross) from Grantham with a journey time from around 70 minutes, making commuting a popular and realistic proposition. Scotland Lane is situated just outside and to the west of the village and is a no through road which becomes a track into nearby Ingoldsby Wood and there are various other local footpaths through lovely varied countryside. This quarter of south west Lincolnshire is also ideal cycling country with low traffic volumes and miles of single track roads available. There is a village Social Club for recreation and many attractive local hostelries in the surrounding villages for eating out.
