Creator: Le Figaro Properties

NON SIBI SOLUM - or ‘not for oneself alone’ - engraved in stone on a front wall perfectly sums up this heavenly, former rectory designed by the renowned Victorian architect S.S. Teulon. Once known as Hovenden Manor, The Old Rectory is hidden from the outside world in an idyllic spot in the heart of Lord Tennyson country in the Lincolnshire Wolds, its enveloping grounds give delight and intrigue.This unique, captivating home will tempt those with the most discerning eye and, with its extremely generous proportions and situation near to excellent schools, will be a draw for a large, possibly extended family and for those who love to entertain. With a good number of outbuildings and around 2 acres, the property also provides further potential (subject to planning).Seller Insight“‘Non sibi solum’ is the motto carved on one of the front walls of The Old Rectory and it is the perfect house for entertaining family and friend for parties, festive gatherings or quiet house party weekends.”“The house was designed and built in 1854 by S S Tuelon, a Victorian architect renowned for building rectories and churches in and around London and a number in Lincolnshire with a liking for the Gothic Revival style and use of multi-coloured bricks.” “The large reception hall, the four public rooms as well as the bespoke Vale conservatory and the large garden permit guests to mingle and be sociable or find peaceful solitude.”“I love to entertain and in winter have enjoyed serving pre-dinner drinks in the main reception hall or the drawing room then moving into the dining room for a formal meal. I have had roaring fires in all the rooms, even in the hall for a lovely warm welcome.”“A marvellous spacious property for a family, the garden provides loads of hidden dens for children as well as a mini maze to the side of the house, and is perfect for multigenerational living with the two bedroom coach house in the grounds.”“The wonderful inviting conservatory brings the garden inside. It is the perfect spot to watch the plethora of wildlife from hedgehogs, owls and boxing hares to the amazing variety of birds; at present we seem to have a resident pheasant. At Christmas, sitting round a large table makes for a magical experience.”“The dual zone central heating system is very convenient as you can choose to have the ground floor on but not the upstairs. The conservatory has underfloor heating but I’ve never had to put it on even though I use it all year round.”“The garden is just magic. In late winter and early spring we go from carpets of snowdrops to nodding heads of many varieties of daffodils to bluebells and hyacinths then the magnolias through to the lilacs, and in summer, onto roses and hydrangeas - there is always something flowering. The large pond is naturally fed with a small waterfall at one end. It is full of pond life and visited by mating mallards, moorhens and other water birds. There are several seating areas within the whole of the garden, ideal if you want to chill out, sketch or read a book or listen to the birds singing. One of them, the pavilion, means you can sit out even if it is raining.”“There is enough space in the grounds to fence off areas for grazing if someone wanted to have a horse or some ponies; there is still the old stabling in the coach house, or other outbuildings could be used for this purpose.”“Great potential is offered here for further development. You could have an outside office or studio for instance, or convert the garage building into more self-contained accommodation *error*; there are so many options.”“The improvements I have made include adding the aluminium greenhouse with self-regulating roof vents and fitting bespoke solid light oak shelving in the reading room/library, a room for quiet contemplation. Outside, I have doubled the size of the orchard so it now provides apples, pears, plums, damsons, medlars and crab apples. The crab apple and mint jelly last year was absolutely delicious. I also installed the large iron gates at the entrance which involved raising the height of the piers using reclaimed handmade Victorian bricks, I reinstated the original steps in the south lawn having discovered they were there in Victorian times - incidentally, the lawn overlooked by the dining room was a tennis court then - and I have put a proper pulley on the old well although it has a grid across the top for safety.”“Four lights at the entrance to the property grounds on the bridge come on automatically as light is fading and go off around 11pm; they are on an adjustable timer.”“There is a handy letter box within a stone’s throw of the main front gate. From here there is a footpath that leads to Aswardby across fields if you want to walk your dog, and after a winter walk, a welcoming afternoon tea is held in the reception hall.”“I adore this place and wish I could pick it up and take it with me. I thought it was to be my forever home but it is not to be so I am reluctantly having to hand it on to someone who I hope will love and cherish it and continue with the custodial care that I have given it.”Key Features• Grade II listed, former rectory designed by renowned architect S.S.

At the heart of the estate stood The Priory, a part Grade II listed Gothic-style property dating back to the early 1800s and originally built as a private residence by Thomas Espin. More recently used as a hotel, The Priory is no longer in operational condition and requires some refurbishment—offering a blank canvas for new owners to create something exceptional.Adjacent, The Dower House is a well-maintained four-bedroom home with expansive gardens, triple-aspect reception rooms, and views over the surrounding parkland. Together, the properties enjoy a single gated entrance, mature parkland grounds, and a location within easy walking distance of the town centre.Step Inside – The PrioryThe Priory was once approached through its original formal entrance hall, where a beautifully hand-carved balustrade rose gracefully to the first floor. This entrance gave access to a series of reception rooms, each with its own character.The former guest reception, a smaller and naturally darker space, would once have provided an intimate welcome for visitors. Adjoining it, a generous bar area served as a lively focal point for social occasions, while the formal dining room, with its striking fireplace, offered grandeur for larger gatherings.Two further lounges, one enriched with traditional stained-glass detailing and elegant built-in cabinetry, enjoy views across the gardens. Together, these spaces would have conveyed the building’s original elegance and charm.Upstairs, the first floor containes ten bedrooms, each with its own en suite bathroom, along with a self-contained one-bedroom apartment. In its hotel days, these rooms provided extensive guest accommodation; today, they require some attention and refurbishment to restore them to their former standard.The property has also retained its former commercial kitchen space and a substantial cellar, both offering scope for future adaptation. While the building is no longer operational, its underlying architectural integrity and scale present a rare opportunity for a new owner to reimagine and revitalise this significant historic property.Step Inside – The Dower HouseThe Dower House is entered via an impressive Gothic-style front door into a welcoming hall. To the right lies the main reception room, a spacious triple-aspect living area filled with natural light and views over the gardens. Opposite, the breakfast kitchen includes a walk-in pantry, additional storage, and a ground-floor bathroom.At the rear, a second reception room with a fitted bar enjoys views across the extensive lawns, making it ideal for entertaining. Two staircases rise to the first floor, where four double bedrooms—one linking both staircases—are served by two family bathrooms.Well maintained and in good order throughout, The Dower House offers comfortable living from day one, with clear potential for sympathetic modernisation to suit contemporary tastes.Step OutsideThe estate’s 3.5-acre grounds are as much a feature as the properties themselves—an expansive parkland setting of a scale that is exceptionally rare this close to the centre of Louth. Sweeping lawns flow between mature specimen trees, established hedges, and open areas, creating an ever-changing backdrop through the seasons. The grounds offer both the grandeur of open space and the intimacy of more sheltered areas, providing scope for everything from quiet enjoyment to large-scale entertaining.A large spring-fed pond forms a striking focal point within the gardens, its reflective waters enhancing the sense of tranquillity. Beyond it, discreetly positioned, stands the historic mausoleum of Thomas Espin—an intriguing architectural landmark that speaks to the estate’s rich heritage without intruding on the serenity of the setting.A set of four garages and a potting shed provide useful storage and practical support for the upkeep of the grounds. The Priory benefits from its own off-street parking, and both properties are approached via a single gated entrance, which opens onto a shared gated driveway.This is a rare opportunity to enjoy the space and atmosphere of a country estate without sacrificing the convenience and vibrancy of a market town location.Disclaimer : This property includes a historic mausoleum located within its grounds. The mausoleum is a heritage structure and may be subject to statutory protections, preservation obligations, or access considerations. Purchasers should be aware that its presence may affect future alterations, landscaping, or development of the property. Buyers are strongly advised to make their own enquiries and seek independent legal and planning advice regarding the mausoleum prior to purchase.
