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.   Disclaimer: These property details, whilst believed to be accurate, are set out as a general outline only for guidance and do not constitute any part of an offer or contract.

Seller Insight 5 Maltings Lane has been our home for the past 12 years. At the time, our children were still young and I was heavily pregnant with our third, so finding somewhere that felt safe, calm and full of good energy was so important. What truly sold it to me was the privacy - it's tucked away, quiet and unassuming, with only a handful of houses. Unless you live here, there's simply no reason to pass through, which gives it such a secure and peaceful feel. Over the years, we have lovingly modernised the house to suit our tastes, including updating the bathrooms. The master bedroom is a real sanctuary, with double aspect views over the garden, it's such a peaceful way to start each day. My favourite room in the house has always been the kitchen. It's incredibly spacious, opens up beautifully, and has been the heart of so many gatherings. It's perfect for entertaining, with the aga making it especially cosy in the winter months. In the summer, the garden truly comes into its own. Set across around half an acre and thoughtfully divided into four sections, it offers something for everyone. From the large patio with shaded areas, to the swimming pool, which has brought endless joy to our children over the years. Beyond that, there's an open lawn with a treehouse and trampoline, creating a great space for family life. This home has been made for entertaining. The generous room sizes and natural flow make hosting effortless. The kitchen leads into a snug where guests can relax, while the dining space has hosted countless Christmases, it's one of those homes where people naturally come together. There's a real village feel here, with a well-used village hall, a cricket club, and a wonderful primary school nearby. We've loved being able to cycle to local spots, enjoy the nearby pub, visit the working windmill, and take in the beautiful surrounding walks. What I will miss most is the way this home brings people together. The entertaining spaces, the summers around the pool, and the simple joy of the garden - it's all been so special. The pool, in particular, has been a huge part of our family life, enjoyed all year round thanks to being heated, and it's something my children will especially miss.

You approach The Old Walkern Nursery at the very top of Froghall Lane through electric gates and you are immediately greeted by an expansive landscape, with sweeping grounds of just over 6 acres and endless open skies. This beautiful, self built five-bedroom home offers an exceptional family living experience. It features three spacious reception rooms, a striking open plan kitchen-diner-lounge that overlooks a stunning decked area with a swimming pool. The impressive ground-floor master suite includes walk-in wardrobes and his and hers bathrooms. Upstairs, you'll find four well-appointed bedrooms, each with its own en suite, and all offering picturesque views of the rear garden and surrounding countryside. Additional highlights include a heated swimming pool, a four-berth garage, a large storage barn, and a charming two-bedroom annex. Step Inside Opening the front door, you find a breathtaking full-height entrance hall, flooded with natural light through floor-to-ceiling glass panels. At its centre stands a beautifully crafted oak staircase with a contemporary chandelier taking centre stage.  At the rear of the hallway there is a ‘living flame’ gas fire bringing warmth and character to this stylish space. The combination of glass and natural wood blends modern design with timeless style.   Beyond the entrance hall lies a stunning, open-plan kitchen designed with both functionality and sociability in mind. Featuring elegant cabinetry painted in Farrow & Ball’s ‘Dimity’ and crisp white quartz stone worktops, the space centres around a generous island that incorporates a double sink, integrated dishwasher, breakfast bar seating and show stopping Tom Dixon globe pendant lights hang above. A traditional gas fuelled AGA adds charm and warmth, there are two additional electric ovens, a gas hob and a generous walk-in pantry with a second dishwasher, fridge freezer and storage shelves. Bathed in natural light, and with ‘arctic white’ engineered oak flooring throughout, this open plan space is bright and airy, enhanced by a large roof lantern positioned above the generous dining area.  There is a stunning fitted glass cabinet for crockery and glassware as well as displaying photographs and ornamental treasures.  Bi-fold doors seamlessly connect the interior to the covered decked terrace, which leads out to a swimming pool and surrounding seating area — perfect for entertaining or relaxing in the sun. Flowing naturally from the dining space is the open-plan lounge, offering uninterrupted views of the garden through a second set of bi-fold doors. This inviting living area is the ideal spot to unwind while enjoying the peaceful outlook over the pool and landscaped grounds.   Just off the kitchen lies a large utility leading to the back door and offering an extensive run of built-in storage cupboards and ample worksurface. This practical area has a sink and there is space and plumbing for an extra washing machine and tumble dryer, if required; ideal for busy family living. Here, you will also find a smaller laundry room with clothes drying space, a washing machine, tumble dryer, a sink and a purpose-built dog shower area. Returning through the hallway, there is a stylish cloakroom and access to the home's generous reception rooms.  Originally an office, but thoughtfully designed to offer versatility and comfort, this space has been fitted with bespoke walnut shelving, a desk and shelves that surround the TV.  This large reception room now lends itself perfectly to be a TV snug or cinema room, with a remote-control projector and full-size screen and wall mounted air conditioning unit.  The second reception is laid out as a more traditional lounge area, with a stunning almond coloured wood burning stove as the focal point.  The room offers fitted wall to ceiling shelving and bi fold doors open to the decked area and views of the garden.   The next room off the hallway is the show-stopping ground floor master suite — a truly impressive space designed for comfort and luxury. This expansive, air-conditioned room offers a dedicated seating area and a generously sized bedroom, creating a calm and private retreat within the home.  A bespoke walk-through wardrobe provides ample storage, with shelving and hanging space on both sides, leading seamlessly to two beautifully appointed ‘his and hers’  en suite bathrooms — one featuring a large double shower, the other with a freestanding bath, perfect for unwinding. Windows and bi-folding doors with stylish shutters frame the view of the garden and open onto a more secluded patio area, offering direct access to the outdoor space and a peaceful spot to relax in complete privacy.  All the rooms on the ground floor benefit from gas fuelled underfloor heating. Climbing the elegant oak staircase, you’ll find four spacious double bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed with fitted wardrobes, their own en suite bathroom and heated via gas radiators. One of these bedrooms stands out with particularly generous built-in storage, a large, well-appointed shower room and air conditioning making it a strong contender for an alternative master suite, if an upstairs bedroom is desired.  All bedrooms enjoy elevated views over the beautiful rear garden, with the surrounding countryside providing a tranquil and scenic backdrop. The annex is a superb addition to the property, providing flexible living accommodation ideal for extended family or guests. Thoughtfully designed with an open-plan layout, the kitchen and dining area has a utility/pantry cupboard and the lounge is centred around a wood-burning stove, adding warmth and character.  The annex includes two well-proportioned bedrooms and a separate bathroom. With its own entrance and a comfortable, self-contained layout, the annex blends privacy with connectivity to the main home — making it a truly valuable asset. Step Outside Entering the property through secure electric gates, a gravel driveway winds past the house, with block-paved parking area for 2–3 vehicles conveniently located by the back door. Continuing along the drive, you'll find a beautifully constructed oak-framed garage on the right, offering covered parking for four vehicles.  Mature hedging and established trees line the route as you pass a charming two-bedroom annex and approach a substantial storage barn. This versatile outbuilding is approximately 1700 square feet, and divided into four large units, each accessed via a combination of double doors and roller shutters. Equipped with lighting, plumbing, and a kitchen area, the barn is ideal for workshops, business use, or extensive storage needs.  As a point of interest, this barn was previously approved to be converted into a 4 bedroom property, although that consent has now lapsed.   The gravel drive continues in a loop around a central planted roundabout, enhancing the practicality and elegance of the layout.  Set within approximately six acres of landscaped grounds, the gardens are as impressive as the house itself. At the far end of the plot, a raised decked area—affectionately known as the gin terrace—offers a peaceful spot to enjoy open countryside views across neighbouring fields and back towards the main house. Elsewhere on the grounds, you’ll find a dedicated children's play area and a chicken run tucked within a woodland copse, adding to the property's charm and family appeal.  To the rear of the house, a newly laid timber deck runs the full width of the property, and leads you to the heated swimming pool.  This 12m x 8m pool is heated via an air source heat pump and benefits from an electric cover. Partially covered by a wooden pergola, this outdoor entertaining space connects seamlessly to the master suite, lounge, and kitchen-diner through multiple sets of patio and bi-fold doors, creating a strong indoor-outdoor flow and tying the garden beautifully into the heart of the home. Location Old Walkern Nursery enjoys a prime position at the very top of Froghall Lane, offering privacy and tranquillity while remaining just a 10 minute walk down to Walkern’s charming High Street.

Ashtree House is an impressive period home, set within mature grounds and surrounded by open fields. Its classic brick façade, flanked by two bay windows and a central arched door, exudes a ceremonial yet welcoming charm. The slate roof, with its distinctive double pitch forming an M shape from the side, hints at the scale and symmetry of the Victorian double-pile layout within. The front garden is a serene pocket of lawn and evergreens, framed by clipped hedges and mature trees. Daily life flows via the side drive, leading to a practical rear entrance. Inside, period elegance prevails. Decorative archways, high skirtings, delicate coving, and Minton-style encaustic tiles create a timeless backdrop. The principal reception room offers deep comfort with a bay window view and open fire, while the dining room is ideal for relaxed entertaining. At the rear, a generous snug with a log burner links to a light-filled conservatory. The kitchen sits at the heart of the home with robust tiled floors, painted cabinetry, a central table, exposed beams, and modern appliances. A study and cloakroom complete the ground floor. A gracious staircase rises beside a tall, stained-glass window, catching the light at the half-landing. Upstairs, the principal suite features fitted wardrobes and a large en suite. Three further double bedrooms share a family bathroom, several retaining original decorative fireplaces. The circa 8.55-acre grounds are thoughtfully layered. Closest to the house, a tidy garden provides space for al fresco dining. Beyond, naturalistic areas flow into wildlife-friendly corners. A swimming pool complex, complete with changing facilities, a bar, and gym space, supports all-season entertaining. Sports facilities also include an En-Tout-Cas tennis court, whilst a pond, orchard, paddock with a field shelter, and greenhouse are perfect for gardeners and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Practical outbuildings include a laundry, office/store, garage, coal shed, pigeon coop, and garden store, while multiple access points make circulation and parking easy.

The charming little village of Manton close to the southern shores of Rutland Water, is strewn with listed buildings, in the heart of which is the magnificent Old Hall graced with a fine early eighteenth century façade but dating back to 1688, as stated on a rear gable. The three-storey stone residence and its adjoining outbuildings provide an extraordinary amount of accommodation all presented in immaculate order, sumptuously decorated to the highest of standards with impeccable attention to detail. In a quiet and private position nestling between neighbours but shielded by mature trees, the walled gardens are verdant, sunny sanctuaries including an impressive summerhouse overlooking a heated outdoor pool. All the reception rooms are of fine proportions: an impressively large but welcoming reception hall, a drawing room with original panelling, a dining room with mahogany panelling fitted approximately 18 years ago by members of the Guild of Master Craftsmen, a generous snug past which is a glamorously fitted kitchen that leads directly into the beautiful garden room. Beyond this, all with extraordinarily high ceilings, a large utility room takes you on into a games room, a print room housing a spiral staircase and a study at the far end benefitting an almost entire wall of glazing over the garden. Further rooms above reached up the spiral staircase are currently used as a gym and another office providing versatile spaces for whatever your needs. The main staircase and the back staircase both rise to the first and second floors. The first floor contains five generous double bedrooms, two en suite, one lined with original panelling, and a family bathroom. The second floor offers a number of rooms that are used as storage but could be refurbished to create five further double bedrooms plus a bathroom and there is another large room at the top of the back stairs. The masterfully landscaped garden is very sheltered and private within high stone walls. Set out on split levels that encompass the house, it gives an appealing mix of formality combined with soft plantings. A fitting Italianate style pervades the front where the symmetric fine stone façade clad in wisteria stands behind the gravelled entrance bordered by tall cypress columns, palms and fig trees. On the south side of the house, an iron gate opens into a charming brick-paved garden in dappled shade with an octagonal summerhouse at the sunny, gravelled far end. Steps lead down into the garden room where more French doors opposite open into the main part of the garden. Here, a large lawn bearing some magnificent mature trees stretches down to the pool area where an oval gazebo provides shade in this particularly sunny corner and an olive and a cloud tree are striking features. A decorative ironwork pergola supports abundant pretty climbers down the side of the property leading to a tiered fountain at the end. On a higher level, a timber pergola-covered walkway curves round the top of a retaining wall delineating the vegetable garden with its geometric-shaped interlocking beds. A recently built garage is to the rear of the property behind the swimming pool and is accessed down a separate driveway, through automatic timber gates and entered through electrically operated doors. A useful shower, WC and sauna at the back of the building are conveniently close to the pool area.   Disclaimer: These property details, whilst believed to be accurate, are set out as a general outline only for guidance and do not constitute any part of an offer or contract.

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.
