The Old Rectory is an impressive early 20th-century residence occupying approximately half an acre of beautifully established gardens beside the River Glen, with around 45 metres of private mooring. Built in 1912, the property retains a wealth of period character while having been thoughtfully adapted and improved to provide a substantial and versatile home for modern living. Approached through a traditional entrance porch, the principal house extends to approximately 5,470 sq ft overall, including the main residence, annexe, garage and workshop. Original features include a substantial oak entrance door, nine fireplaces, timber flooring, exposed beams and generous proportions throughout, complemented by a programme of improvements including a new roof, double-glazed windows, updated bathrooms and an extensively improved kitchen. The property was originally constructed as the vicarage for Reverend Henry Law James, who became Vicar of Surfleet in 1898. He was instrumental in establishing the Lincoln Diocesan Guild of Church Bellringers in 1899 and remained its first Master until his death in 1932. The house subsequently formed an important part of village life during its years as a vicarage. A Latin inscription above the original entrance door translates as ‘Home without God is just a house’, while the nine original fireplaces, substantial joinery and timber floors provide a tangible connection to the property's heritage. The Main House
The ground floor is arranged around a broad central reception hall, from which the principal living spaces lead. The combination of exposed timber, stripped floors, substantial windows and period detailing creates a distinctive sense of character, while the generous proportions allow the accommodation to work equally well for family life and entertaining. A particularly impressive open-plan reception and dining room provides an exceptional central entertaining space. Generously proportioned yet naturally divided into distinct areas for relaxation and dining, the room retains a strong connection with the gardens and river through tall windows and glazed doors. An original fireplace, timber flooring and architectural detailing reinforce its period character. The kitchen provides a practical and sociable hub to the house, with classic cabinetry, broad work surfaces, a large range cooker and central island. Timber flooring and an exposed beam complement the traditional character, while a separate utility room provides additional practical space. Upstairs, the principal bedroom has an en suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe, alongside three further well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. Former servants' accommodation on the upper level has been thoughtfully brought back into use, providing additional bedroom and office space together with storage. Original floorboards, sloping ceilings and characterful tucked-away spaces give this level a distinct individuality. Self-Contained Annexe
A substantial attached annexe provides genuinely independent accommodation and significantly enhances the versatility of the property. It incorporates its own kitchen, a particularly generous bedroom, en suite facilities and wardrobe space, making it suitable for relatives, guests or those requiring separate accommodation for working or other purposes. The former coach house has been incorporated into the annexe, while the old coal house has been converted to provide a gym with an electric sauna. Gardens and River
The gardens are a defining feature of The Old Rectory, combining formal structure with mature trees, clipped topiary, Mediterranean-inspired planting and a series of terraces and seating areas. Palms and architectural planting create a distinctive character, while the established landscaping provides a high degree of privacy. The property's approximately 45 metres of River Glen frontage are complemented by a long timber jetty and private mooring. The river forms an integral part of the setting, with the waterfront providing an exceptional space for boating and enjoying the surrounding landscape. Beside the water, an octagonal timber summer house has been arranged as an outdoor kitchen and entertaining space, with cooking facilities and infrared heating. Further terraces and a hot tub provide additional opportunities to enjoy the gardens and riverside setting throughout the year. The river frontage also provides direct access to a range of leisure activities, including boating, kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing and swimming. Beyond the River Glen, open farmland creates an expansive outlook and contributes to the property's exceptional sense of peace and privacy. Location
Surfleet provides a range of everyday amenities including a village shop and Post Office, traditional public houses and a fish and chip shop. The historic parish church provides an important part of the village's heritage and has a particular connection with the history of The Old Rectory. The 10-acre Glen Park offers a children's play area, outdoor gym, picnic spaces, sensory garden, forest school, sports pitches and a wheelchair-friendly woodland trail. Spalding Golf Club, with its 18-hole course, is approximately one mile away. The wider area provides a choice of schooling, including Spalding Grammar School, Spalding High School and Ayscoughfee Hall School. Spalding is only a few miles away and provides a broader selection of shops, cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities, together with a railway station offering connections to Peterborough. From Peterborough, direct high-speed rail services provide access to London King's Cross in approximately 45 minutes. Road connections include the A16, A17 and A1, providing convenient access to Stamford, Peterborough, Lincoln and King's Lynn.

House Boston (United Kingdom)

Set within more than seven acres of gardens, paddocks and grounds (STS), Bridge Farm is a quintessential Grade II Listed Georgian country house. Originally dating from the mid-18th century, the house has been thoughtfully updated by the current owners, retaining a wealth of period character alongside beautifully finished interiors. The accommodation is generous and versatile, flowing from elegant reception rooms into a beautifully appointed kitchen, with five well-proportioned bedrooms and luxurious bath and shower rooms completing the principal accommodation. A self-contained one-bedroom annexe adds further flexibility, whether for multi-generational living or visiting guests. Outside, the grounds provide a wonderful complement to the house, combining formal gardens and a landscaped courtyard with stables, workshops and extensive grassland paddocks. A superb, detached summer house enjoys stunning views across the surrounding countryside and provides an inviting space for entertaining, relaxing or simply taking in the views. Properties of this calibre seldom come to the open market. With the character and elegance of a Georgian country home, stylish interiors and extensive equestrian facilities, Bridge Farm offers an exceptional rural lifestyle while remaining within easy reach of Boston and excellent road and rail connections. Sellers' insights We've lived at Bridge Farm for 14 years and it's been a fantastic place to raise our family. The children have loved having so much space to enjoy, both in the house and outside, and they've grown up exploring the surrounding countryside. It's such a peaceful setting you're not overlooked, there's a real sense of privacy, and it's simply a lovely place to call home. The approach to the house always makes an impression. As you come up the driveway, the Georgian frontage and beautiful lawns gradually come into view, and it still gives us that same feeling every time we arrive home. Inside, we've invested a great deal in updating the interiors, but always taking care to respect its character. Outside, we've added the stables, summer house and decking with the hot tub. The topiary and seating areas have evolved over the years, creating somewhere we love to spend time with family and friends or simply sit back and enjoy the peace and quiet. The house has grown with our family over the years. The layout is incredibly versatile, with plenty of living spaces so everyone can spread out, while the one-bedroom annexe has been used for everything from multi-generational living to a home office. When the children were older, we added the detached summer house, giving them their own space with a pool table, television and games area. They absolutely loved it, but it's equally suited as an entertaining space, home office or studio. The house is wonderful for entertaining. Christmas celebrations have been particularly special, and it's a home that's equally suited to larger occasions as it is to quieter evenings with family. The paddocks and fields are perfect for equestrian pursuits. My daughter keeps her horses here, so everything has been set up with that in mind. The stables and outbuildings all have power and lighting, the paddocks are securely fenced, and there's still plenty of scope for a new owner to adapt the land further, whether by creating an arena or enhancing the existing facilities, subject to the necessary consents. You can ride straight out from the grounds into the surrounding countryside. There are some lovely hacking routes straight from our property, so you can enjoy hours of riding without needing to transport the horses anywhere. Swineshead has a good range of amenities, including local shops, a GP surgery and a rail station. It's also an excellent area for families, with a well-regarded primary school in the village, a choice of schools in neighbouring villages, and highly regarded grammar and non-selective secondary schools in both Boston and Sleaford. Although the house feels wonderfully rural, it's surprisingly well connected. The A17 is just moments away, providing easy access towards Sleaford, King's Lynn and beyond, while Swineshead station offers direct services to Nottingham and Grantham, where you can connect to London. Bridge Farm has been an incredible family home and we'll be very sad to leave. We hope the next owners will enjoy everything it has to offer just as much as we have.

A splendid unlisted Victorian former grange, peacefully positioned within approximately two acres (STS) of private, mature grounds. Elm Grange presents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished period home, rich in original features, offering exceptional living space, versatile ancillary accommodation, and truly captivating gardens. Immaculately presented throughout, Elm Grange offers over 3,500 sq. ft. of light filled accommodation, perfectly suited for both family living and formal entertaining. Of particular note is the breakfast kitchen, opening into a spectacular 25-foot double-height glass atrium with views across the formal gardens. Additional living spaces include a dining room with huge bay window, elegant lounge, study, and music room. Upstairs, the principal suite features a luxurious en-suite bathroom, walk-in wardrobe, and a large dressing room which can also serve as a fifth bedroom. Three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the first floor. Complementing the main house is Treetops, a detached brick-built, larch-clad building (1271 sq.ft.) with a double carport, garage, and log store below, and a 22-foot open-plan living area above with kitchenette, bedroom space, and en-suite. Ideal for guests, extended family, or holiday rental use The grounds are beautifully landscaped with an impressive variety of mature trees, expansive lawns, formal borders, secret gardens, clipped box hedging walkways and a generous flagstone terrace with an arbour adorned with scented climbers. East Heckington is a picturesque rural village with convenient access to amenities, towns and transport links. The large village of Heckington is less than five minutes down the road and has much to offer in the way of shops, leisure activities and a train station which connects to Grantham, Peterborough, Nottingham, Lincoln and cities elsewhere. Road links are good too being near the A17, the A52 and the A15. Grantham and the A1 are reached in about 30 minutes by car. Seller Insights After an extensive search, we arrived at Elm Grange and it quite simply took our breath away. From the moment we stepped inside, we knew we had discovered something truly special. I think what makes Elm Grange so special is that it is both a superb home to entertain in and also incredibly homely, we use all the rooms year round and whether hosting informal gatherings or larger celebrations, the house adapts beautifully to the occasion, offering both scale and intimacy as needed. The house offers exceptional space and light throughout and is set on a gentle elevation so benefits from an subtle split-level design that adds both interest and a sense of privacy within the layout. The house is very special at Christmas, visitors are welcomed through the entrance hall into the formal dining room with the log burning roaring and thanks to the huge bay window can enjoy the beautiful garden view. The kitchen with the spectacular glass atrium connected to it is very much the heart of our home and is a really versatile space, equally suited to relaxed family living and elegant entertaining. Believed to date back to circa 1845, Elm Grange is as beautiful outside as it is inside and the tranquillity of the grounds have been one of the home's most cherished qualities. The gardens offer so many peaceful spots, with secret gardens, sunny terraces and bluebell woods we are truly spoilt for choice. The vast lawn stretching out to the south east has also been used as a helipad but we have simply loved this area to walk our dogs around. The remarkable variety of mature trees throughout the grounds is a legacy of the previous owner, a passionate birdwatcher who carefully planted numerous different species specifically to attract birdlife. It is truly extraordinary that a garden of this age presents with such maturity and depth of character. Among the many notable specimens are Douglas Firs, Atlantic Cedars, Monterey Pines, Tulip Trees, Ginkgo, Handkerchief Trees, Sweet Chestnut, and Monkey Puzzle all contributing to a rich, layered landscape. The result is not only visually impressive, but also a haven for wildlife, with birdsong heard throughout the year a true reflection of the garden's success. Elm Grange was extensively renovated approximately 20 years ago, preserving its period charm while modernising key aspects of the property. Over the past few years we have continued to enhance the house with a series of considered upgrades, including a new boiler, updated bathrooms, and modern appliances. The most significant addition we made is Treetops, completed in 2020 a substantial, detached outbuilding constructed in brick and clad in larch which offers open plan living to the first floor and extensive garaging to the ground floor. We have successfully operated the first floor of Treetops as an Airbnb, though it is equally well-suited for accommodating guests, extended family, or use as a self-contained home office or studio. The village of Heckington is less than five minutes down the road and has so much to offer in the way of shops and amenities with pretty much all you need. And an added bonus is the train station which connects to Grantham, Peterborough, Nottingham, Lincoln and cities elsewhere meaning commuting to London, for instance, is perfectly feasible. Road links are good too being so near the A17, the A52 and the A15. Grantham and the A1 are reached in about 30 minutes by car.

House with terrace Greatford (United Kingdom)

Maple Lodge is a home of rare privacy and warmth, set within the quiet enclave of Greatford Gardens, a unique residential pocket in one of Lincolnshire’s most desirable villages. With expansive countryside views, direct access to local footpaths and a garden that has been thoughtfully nurtured for year-round enjoyment, this is a property that truly celebrates its setting. Tucked away over a bridge that crosses an original brook and set well back from the road, the house has an immediate sense of peace and retreat. The house is approached by a sweeping driveway that curves around to an American-style oak porch, which creates a strong first impression and a warm welcome. From the moment you enter, the generous proportions and sense of calm are immediately apparent. The entrance hall is light and spacious, centred on a graceful curved staircase that draws the eye and adds a gentle architectural rhythm to the interior. The layout of the house is ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. A large open-plan reception space spans the full depth of the house, with sliding doors opening directly onto the rear terrace and garden. At its heart is a working log burner with a built-in wood store – a focal point that brings atmosphere and comfort in the cooler months. The flow of light and the west-facing aspect give this space a feeling of quiet openness, while offering a seamless connection with the garden. One of the most distinctive features is the indoor swimming pool. Surrounded by windows and set beneath a handsome timber ceiling, the room is bright and spacious, with a galleried landing above, two changing rooms and a mezzanine viewing area. The kitchen enjoys a lovely view of the garden and includes a breakfast bar, as well as an American style ‘booth’ for casual eating. From here, the layout flows naturally through a substantial utility room and into a well-fitted boot room, which has direct access to the outside – ideal for countryside living. An additional space off the kitchen offers versatility, and is currently used as a study. To the rear, the owners created what has become the heart of the house: a spectacular oak-framed garden room. This all-glass extension floods with natural light and connects beautifully to the surrounding garden. Open beams give it character, while underfloor heating ensures it remains cosy and welcoming even in the depths of winter. It is a space designed to be enjoyed year-round, whether for quiet reading, entertaining, or simply soaking in the changing views. Upstairs, the landing leads to five double bedrooms, including a principal suite and a guest suite, both with en-suite bathrooms and built-in storage. One of the bedrooms is currently arranged as a hobby room but could easily become a fifth bedroom or spacious office. The family bathroom includes a separate bath and a steam-capable shower. Every bedroom enjoys a different aspect, some over fields, others towards the intricate and lovingly landscaped garden. The garden at Maple Lodge is much more than a setting, it is an experience. Winding paths, archways, specimen trees and secret spots make it feel like a private parkland. A standout feature is the Monet-style bridge that crosses a generous pond, complete with a small island and mature plantings. There is a shaded terrace beneath an awning – perfect for outdoor lunches – and a charming summer house with its own porch, tucked into a quiet corner for reading or retreat. Each area of the garden invites exploration, and the effect is both enchanting and deeply peaceful.

House with terrace Stamford (United Kingdom)

There is something immediately compelling about Ragstone House. Approached through the quiet hamlet of Pilsgate, just outside Stamford, it combines the mellow character of a traditional limestone home with the scale, finish and versatility more often associated with a contemporary country house. Behind its handsome stone elevations lies a property that has been comprehensively transformed by the current owners, creating a home that is both deeply practical and undeniably luxurious. Originally formed from four workers' cottages owned by the Burghley Estate, the oldest parts of the house are believed to date back to the mid-1800s. In the 1960s, the cottages were combined into a single dwelling by an architect who wrote for Ideal Home magazine, with the property subsequently featured in the publication following its conversion. Today, that rich architectural evolution remains evident throughout the house, where exposed stone walls, substantial timber beams and traditional proportions sit comfortably alongside crisp contemporary finishes and thoughtfully designed open-plan spaces. For the current owners, Ragstone House stood apart immediately. Its size and proportions, proximity to Stamford and excellent independent schooling, and the opportunity to undertake a full renovation all proved irresistible. They were drawn not simply to the property itself, but to the chance to create a long-term family home tailored entirely to their own tastes and way of life. What followed was an extensive programme of improvement and modernisation that has fundamentally elevated the house while remaining sympathetic to its origins. Conservation approved casement windows were installed in 2019, and in 2021 and 2022 the owners temporarily vacated the property while a comprehensive back-to-brick refurbishment was undertaken. The works included complete rewiring and replumbing, upgraded insulation, replacement joists where required and the installation of a new three-phase electricity supply. At the same time, a substantial triple garage with office and shower room above was constructed, significantly enhancing the flexibility of the property. The result is a house that feels exceptionally cohesive. The interiors have been finished to an incredibly high standard. In the communal spaces, a calm, neutral palette has been used, creating a light and airy atmosphere throughout while allowing the building's original features to take centre stage. In other areas, stronger colours really highlight the various features of the property. Natural timber has been carefully exposed wherever possible, lending warmth and texture to the spaces. Downstairs, elegant flagstone flooring from Stamford Stone runs through much of the ground floor, complemented by oak flooring in the reception room and snug, all benefiting from underfloor heating. Upstairs, the landing features oak parquet flooring, while the bedrooms are finished in soft neutral carpets that contribute to the sense of comfort and understated luxury. At the heart of the home is the impressive open-plan kitchen and dining space. Beautifully designed for both day-to-day family life and larger-scale entertaining, it balances practicality with striking aesthetics. Dark cabinetry, warm timber surfaces and stone flooring create a sophisticated yet welcoming feel, while the substantial central copper island naturally draws people together. The adjoining dining area is flooded with light from dramatic glazing overlooking the garden, creating a seamless connection between inside and out. It is easy to understand why the owners spend much of their time here. They describe the kitchen as the social centre of the house, somewhere friends and family naturally gather, whether for relaxed evenings or larger celebrations. The sense of flow between the kitchen, dining area and garden makes the house particularly well suited to entertaining. Equally inviting is the reception room, where exposed stonework, deeply textured timber beams and a substantial fireplace create a wonderfully atmospheric space. The owners particularly enjoy relaxing here beside the log burner during the colder months, and despite the scale of the property, there is a genuine sense of warmth and comfort throughout. Additional flexible rooms provide options for a snug, study, playroom or home working space, allowing the house to adapt easily to changing family needs. Upstairs, five well-proportioned bedrooms provide generous and versatile accommodation. The principal suite is especially impressive, while the bathrooms throughout the house have been finished to an exceptional standard, combining high-quality fittings with elegant, timeless styling. Every element feels carefully considered, continuing the restrained and cohesive design language seen across the property. Externally, Ragstone House is equally impressive. A large paved forecourt provides extensive parking and leads to the triple garage block, above which sits a substantial open-plan room complete with shower facilities. Whether used as a gym, studio, office, showroom or additional workspace, it offers significant flexibility for modern living. The gardens have been designed to provide both privacy and enjoyment. Mature trees and established planting create a wonderfully secluded setting, while the swimming pool and hot tub (available by separate negotiation) transform the property during the summer months. The owners describe the atmosphere as being akin to a holiday at home, particularly on warm sunny days when friends and family gather around the pool and terrace for parties and long evenings outdoors. What makes Ragstone House particularly special is its versatility. Despite its generous proportions, it remains an extremely comfortable and liveable family home, with a variety of spaces that allow both togetherness and privacy. Whether hosting large social occasions, relaxing quietly by the fire or enjoying the garden in summer, the house adapts effortlessly to every season and occasion. The location has also played a significant role in the owners' enjoyment of the property. Pilsgate offers an appealing balance between peaceful rural living and excellent accessibility. Stamford is only a short distance away, making evenings out and day-to-day amenities easily accessible, while the surrounding countryside provides wonderful walking opportunities. The owners particularly valued the proximity to schools. Their daughter was able to cycle safely into Stamford using the footpath network, giving her a sense of independence, while school transport for Oakham School conveniently stops just outside the house. The nearby Millstone Inn in Barnack is within walking distance and has become a favourite local destination, while sporting facilities including tennis clubs at Barnack and Ketton add further appeal to the area. After eight years at Ragstone House, the owners speak about the property with enormous affection. They describe having poured their hearts into the house, creating a home that reflects both their personalities and tastes. It is clear that every improvement has been made with care, consideration and a genuine appreciation for the building itself. Ragstone House is therefore far more than simply a beautifully renovated period property. It is a home where historic character and modern living have been brought together with exceptional success, creating a sophisticated yet welcoming country residence in one of the area's most desirable settings.
