The gardens are every bit as captivating as the house, with an orchard, mature trees, wildflower areas, two ponds and a small, wooded area creating a wonderfully natural setting. Seating areas within the grounds offer tranquil places to relax and unwind. Beyond the main house, the Coach House offers an impressive and flexible two-storey space.

Steeped in history and surrounded by stunning countryside, The Manor House offers a rare opportunity to acquire a handsome Georgian home with remarkable character, a fascinating history, generous space and a peaceful village setting, just 14 miles from Lincoln. Seller Insights We love the feeling of space here. The house has such a light and airy feel, yet it's also steeped in history, with wonderful period features that give it so much character. The Manor House has a fascinating history, and we've done lots of research about the property and local area over the years. We believe the main house dates from the early 1790s and was built for a well-known local family that owned much of the surrounding land. The exposed beams, original fireplaces and beautiful architectural details all provide subtle clues of the history. The Manor House was home to around 30 members of the Women's Land Army during the Second World War, and over the years we've had the pleasure of welcoming a couple of them back to visit. It was fascinating to hear their memories of living and working here. More recently, the house served as a fine dining restaurant in the 1970s before we turned the property back into a private home in the early 1990s. We converted the former stables into the Coach House in 2007, creating two holiday accommodation units. Our restoration focused on creating eco-friendly accommodation, using traditional methods and natural materials. There's also a large open coach room with its own kitchen, as well as the original stables. I've run cookery and craft classes in this space and a small local history museum, but it could just as easily become a studio, home office or even additional accommodation, subject to the necessary consents. The gardens are a real delight with a superb vegetable growing area and various different parts to explore perfect as a play area for children. We've also got those amazing rural views from the garden and many parts of the house. There are many community activities in Martin. The church holds events and the village hall hosts everything from exercise classes and coffee mornings to our local heritage society, which we've enjoyed being part of. The pub has an excellent reputation for food, and the play park near the school is one of the best for miles around. Lincolnshire has so much to offer. There are beautiful walks, quiet country lanes for cycling and plenty of opportunities for birdwatching in the local area. Yet, the village is just a few miles from Woodhall Spa, with its independent shops, cafés and restaurants; Jubilee Park, with its outdoor pool, and Kinema are among our many favourite places to visit. Lincoln is also a beautiful cathedral city.

House with garden and terrace Scopwick (United Kingdom)
An exemplary conversion of a historic, Grade II Listed and award winning home with its prominent tower proudly standing overlooking the surrounding rural, Lincolnshire landscape, a reminder of a bygone era but now forming part of a spectacular and unique home affording stunning views. The former windmill sits on around 2 acres of land and the flexible accommodation inside offers 4 to 5 bedrooms. With Lincoln about 20 minutes north and Sleaford around 15 minutes south, there is a wide choice of excellent schools in the area whilst the A1 is about half an hour away, and a neighbouring village has its own train station with connections to fast services to London, Edinburgh and elsewhere. The mill was built in 1827 and had four sails. It began as a 5-storey mill but was later raised to become 6-storey, probably when it was adjoined to a steam mill in 1842. It worked until 1912 and was dismantled soon afterwards. The buildings either side no longer existed when I came here in 2002 and the tower was completely empty, open to the sky above. Old photographs show the mill with a square chimney that was even taller than the tower itself! It was since reduced greatly in height and now still exists as the chimney to our inglenook fireplace. Planning allowed building onto the footprint of the old, so we created the two wings either side of the tower and added a new porch, very similar to the original one. All the windows in the wings are timber, double-glazed sash. We wanted to keep the tower in the spirit of its original use so have created an industrial feel with exposed brick walls in the bottom half although the top floors have been insulated and lined. The round entrance hall has been laid with reclaimed timber boards in an octagonal pattern and the curving, steel-framed staircase with timber balustrading and treads was created by a local fabricator to a unique design. All the principal rooms are light, airy and spacious with all the bedrooms double and there are superb views from every floor. The vaulted ceilings in the bedrooms enhance the sense of space and the exposed timbers lend character. There are four bedrooms on the first floor but there is a good deal of flexibility in the use of rooms. For instance, a bedroom or two could be created in the tower particularly since there is a bathroom on the fourth floor. The second floor has the lovely landing stage surrounding it with two sets of French doors opening onto it. The floor above I have been using as an office. Despite the rural location, we do actually have full fibre broadband to the property so there are very fast internet speeds. We built in cabling for surround sound speakers in the main living room on the ground floor so we can enjoy it as a cinema with one of the walls becoming the screen. There are three sets of French windows onto the rear garden which is lovely in summer. A terrace stretches the whole width of the property and receives sun the majority of the day. Although rural, the village is just a quarter of a mile away where there is a pub/restaurant and Metheringham is only 3 miles away which has various shops and services including a Co-op, a post office and even a train station on the Peterborough to Lincoln line. Sleaford is our nearest town about 8 miles away where there are very good schools, and Lincoln is about a 20 minute drive. Woodhall Spa is a lovely place, only 15 minutes away and the unusual Kinema in the Woods is highly recommended, and where we always go to the cinema! Location The Windmill is just outside the village of Scopwick which is about 8 miles north of Sleaford and 11 miles south of Lincoln. In the Domesday Book of 1086 it is recorded as having a church and 6 mills, with the Old English name 'Scapeuic' meaning sheep farm. Now, it is a small rural community with Scopwick Holy Cross Church, a village hall, and a highly-rated pub, The Royal Oak, serving food. Nearby Metheringham offers a wide range of facilities including several village stores and pubs/restaurants, a fish and chip shop, a takeaway, a children's nursery, a vets' practice and a doctors' surgery. The village railway station connects directly with Lincoln, Sleaford and Peterborough. Around a 15 minute drive, is the characterful inland resort of Woodhall Spa famous for The National Golf Centre with its Hotchkin heathland course, one of the top in the world. The town also offers a wonderful selection of independent shops, tea rooms, restaurants as well as the unique Kinema in the Woods and the superb outdoor heated swimming pool at Jubilee Park. The Petwood Hotel is steeped in British history, once home to the legendary 617 'Dambusters' squadron, and provides award-winning food, afternoon tea and special events surrounded by acres of beautifully landscaped gardens. The historic and vibrant Cathedral City of Lincoln provides a comprehensive range of shopping, dining, and cultural amenities. The two most notable attractions are the spectacular 11th century Lincoln Cathedral and Lincoln Castle at the heart of the city's cultural Cathedral Quarter. The city has two universities, and the rich aviation history of Lincolnshire can be explored further at the International Bomber Command Visitor Centre. Schools The closest primary school is in Metheringham (3 miles) and is rated Good by Ofsted whilst sought after secondary schools are in Sleaford, around a 15 minute drive. These include the grammar schools Carre's Grammar School and Kesteven & Sleaford High School (for Girls), as well as St. George's Academy, all Ofsted rated Good. In Lincoln, about 11 miles north (15-20 mins), there is the Ofsted rated Outstanding LSST Priory Academy and the superb independent Minister Schools, both Prep and Senior.

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.

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 Lincoln (United Kingdom)
A truly unique opportunity to acquire an exceptional Grade II Listed country residence steeped in history, character and architectural distinction, featured in Pevsner's Buildings of England. Dating back to 1856 and designed by the acclaimed architect Samuel Sanders Teulon, this sensitively restored property exudes elegance whilst offering a level of discreet refinement that surpasses properties of this heritage. Commissioned by William Kaye, son of the first Bishop of Lincoln, this historically significant property enjoys an enviable position little more than a mile from the historic city of Lincoln whilst being set within formal gardens and grounds totalling approximately two acres and benefitting from open countryside and parkland views. Further benefits include a two-bedroomed apartment, coach house, extensive workshop and substantial garaging. The entrance to The Old Rectory opens into a generous lobby where the house reveals itself as a work of thoughtful craftsmanship. The confident use of proportion, natural light and architectural detail creates an interior that feels both impressive and welcoming. The drawing room, dining room and morning room all offer the scale and refinement expected of a Victorian rectory, each complete with impressive fireplaces and extensive views of the gardens beyond. A beautifully appointed Clive Christian kitchen forms the practical heart of the house, complemented by a suite of ancillary rooms including utility room, wine cellar, private study, boot room and cloakroom. For personal wellbeing, a spa room with steam and sauna facilities provides a luxurious retreat, whilst the spacious handcrafted garden room with air conditioning and underfloor heating offers a tranquil space throughout the seasons to relax and enjoy fabulous views of the garden with direct access to the South facing terrace through double doors. The property has been extended with remarkable sensitivity. The adjoining Lodge has expanded the property whilst remaining entirely faithful to the original architectural style, resulting in a residence that feels unified rather than accumulated. This additional accommodation comprises a large laundry, versatile office / hobby areas, together with the spacious triple garage complex. From here, a private staircase rises to a spacious first-floor apartment of considerable quality, comprising a well-appointed kitchen, a comfortable lounge with doors opening onto a South facing roof terrace, two bedrooms and a bathroom. This offers exceptional versatility with both internal and independent external access. Accessed from the main staircase, the light-filled and galleried first floor landing leads to the principal suite which includes a spacious bedroom, dedicated dressing room fitted with bespoke solid oak storage, and a luxurious bathroom with stone flooring beyond. Three further individually designed bedroom suites are arranged with the same careful consideration, benefitting from luxurious ensuite facilities. A kitchenette and spacious linen room are a thoughtful addition, ensuring that the practical demands of the house are met without intrusion upon its refinement. A secondary staircase and discreet lift provide additional circulation between floors. The grounds extend to approximately two acres and are approached via two separate entrances, each framed by tall wrought iron electric gates and formal hedging offering privacy and security. The first driveway sweeps to the west entrance, providing generous parking for a number of vehicles, whilst the secondary Lodge entrance provides direct access to the garage complex, apartment and workshop beyond. The substantial garage complex extending to approximately 850 sq ft, is accessed via three pairs of electric doors together with direct internal access to the main residence. This provides a supremely well-appointed and practical space, with power, heating and lighting and a quality floor finish, ideal for those with an affinity for classic or prestige vehicles. The high-specification workshop, extending to nearly 1,000 sq ft and complete with a kitchenette and separate WC, is fully insulated and heated. It lends itself to a wide range of uses, from a dedicated workshop to a studio or leisure space. The detached two-storey period coach house and outbuildings which frame the North facing courtyard offer significant and versatile storage and plant room areas. Subject to the necessary consents, the coach house presents clear potential for conversion to additional residential accommodation. The property enjoys the most glorious formal gardens, conceived and planted with an exquisite sensitivity to the architecture of the house itself. Immaculate lawns wrap around the residence, bordered by richly planted flowering beds and the dappled shade of mature native trees. At the heart of the gardens, a central pond with water feature creates a wonderful symmetry; a place to pause and take in the wonderful views of the house. A heritage greenhouse, kitchen garden and orchard reflect the productive traditions of the great English country garden, whilst a wonderfully spacious timber pavilion offers a peaceful sanctuary; perfectly positioned to make the most of the tranquillity that surrounds it. The lawns and borders benefit from an extensive irrigation system served by an additional private water supply from an onsite borehole. Agents Note: The property has been significantly enhanced through the discreet installation of advanced home automation, security, lighting and heating controls, together with energy efficient underfloor insulation and heating. There is also a fully automated backup power generator. History and Architecture The Old Rectory was built in 1856 for William Kaye, who served as Rector of Riseholme for the remarkable span of more than six decades, from 1847 to 1913. William was the son of Bishop John Kaye, the first Bishop of Lincoln to take up residence at Riseholme, and a figure of considerable influence in the ecclesiastical and architectural landscape of the village. It was under Bishop Kaye's oversight that the neighbouring Gothic Revival church of St Mary's was completed in 1851, establishing Riseholme as a place of quiet yet genuine historic distinction. For the design of the rectory, William Kaye turned to Samuel Sanders Teulon, one of the most distinctive architects of the Victorian Gothic Revival movement. His appointment at Riseholme was no coincidence: he had already worked on St Mary's Church in 1851 and was associated with the stable block at Riseholme Hall, making the Old Rectory the third element in a sustained and meaningful collaboration with the Kaye family. What Teulon conceived as a substantial Victorian rectory has, over time, evolved into something that satisfies all the requirements of contemporary family living. Further elements have been added with evident care and sensitivity, each extending the footprint of the house whilst remaining faithful to the spirit and character of the original. The property is therefore substantially larger than its origins suggest yet carries no sense of accumulation or compromise. The result is a residence of rare architectural integrity, where the hand of a significant Victorian architect remains evident in every elevation. Location Riseholme is a village of rare and quiet distinction, set just a mile north of the city of Lincoln yet feeling entirely removed from it, enveloped by the wide-open agricultural landscape of Lincolnshire. A small civil parish within the West Lindsey district, it is a place where history and countryside exist in easy company, with the ancient spire of Lincoln Cathedral visible on the southern horizon and rolling farmland stretching in every direction. The Old Rectory enjoys an especially privileged position within the village, with open views across the historic grounds and working farmland of Riseholme Park, a remarkable estate of over a thousand acres encompassing woodland, deer parks and a lake, and long associated with the Bishops of Lincoln. It is a landscape that has changed little over the centuries, where the buried remains of a medieval village sit alongside working farmland grazed by Lincoln Red cattle and the rare Lincoln Longwool sheep, one of the oldest native breeds in the country. The village itself is a conservation area of considerable charm, centred around the Gothic Revival church of St Mary’s, and connected to Lincoln with ease whilst retaining an atmosphere of genuine rural seclusion. The nearby village of Nettleham, less than two miles away, provides a broader range of day-to-day amenities including shops, sports facilities, pubs, coffee shops, a post office and medical facilities. Lincoln itself lies just a mile or so to the south and is a vibrant university city offering a wealth of facilities. The magnificent cathedral and castle sit at the top of the hill, with the popular Bailgate and Steep Hill below, offering independent shops, restaurants and cafés. The attractive Brayford Waterside area, the Cathedral Quarter and the Cultural Quarter all add to the city’s considerable appeal, alongside the County Hospital and BMI Private Hospital. For travel further afield, Humberside International Airport is located around 30 miles to the north-east, approximately 45 minutes by car, whilst East Midlands Airport lies around 50 miles to the south-west, approximately 75 minutes by road, offering a broad range of domestic and international connections between them. For rail travel, direct LNER services run from Lincoln Central to London King’s Cross, with the journey taking just under two hours, making the capital comfortably accessible for work or leisure. Newark, to the south-west, provides additional fast rail connections to King’s Cross in around 80 minutes, with excellent road links via the A1. Schooling The property lies within easy reach of an excellent range of schools at both primary and secondary level. For primary education, the village of Nettleham, less than two miles away, is served by two well-regarded schools: Nettleham Infant and Nursery School on All Saints Lane and Nettleham Church of England Voluntary Aided Junior School on Mill Hill, together providing a strong foundation for younger children. For secondary education, William Farr Church of England Comprehensive School in Welton is among the most highly regarded schools in the area and is rated Good by Ofsted. On the southern edge of Lincoln, The Priory Academy LSST is also rated Good by Ofsted and is one of the most popular schools in Lincolnshire. In the private sector, Burton Hathow Preparatory School, an independent school for children aged 2 to 11 set in beautiful, wooded grounds on the outskirts of Lincoln, is easily accessible and offers an exceptional early years and preparatory education in a remarkable rural setting. The highly regarded Lincoln Minster School, offering both Prep and Senior education, is also easily accessible in the Cathedral quarter of the city and is consistently ranked among the leading independent schools in the region Services: Mains electric and water, oil central heating, private drainage, backup power generator Local Authority: West Lindsey District Council Tenure: Freehold Council Tax Band: H (The Old Rectory), A (The Lodge) Epc Rating: N/A Sat Nav: LN2 2LE Contact: Adam Lascelles

Combining timeless period character with generous, versatile accommodation, The Old Vicarage presents a rare opportunity to own an exceptional family home. Sellers insights As soon as we first viewed the house, we knew it was the perfect home for our family. We've loved living here ever since. We hear pheasants and owls, as well as a myriad of other birds and we know there are hedgehogs in the garden. The Old Vicarage is also a wonderful place for parties and family get-togethers. Our grandchildren have grown up here, spending many happy hours playing football and badminton in the garden, enjoying treasure hunts, and picking fruit in the orchard. On a summer's evening, there's nothing better than sitting on the terrace, listening to the birdsong, looking out across the open countryside and enjoying the big Lincolnshire skies.We had the gardens professionally designed, and we've invested a great deal of time in developing them. Each year, the garden produces an abundance of fruit, including delicious Nashi pears and damsons that are perfect for making homemade jam. For gardeners, there are excellent garden centres nearby, as well as local gardening clubs and open gardens to explore. The village is very friendly, with wonderful neighbours who will stop for a chat to catch up on local news. We must also mention our postie, who knows everyone by name and does so much for the community. Lincolnshire is a hidden gem. This area is wonderfully unspoilt, with beautiful countryside on the doorstep and the coast within easy reach. We've enjoyed countless walks with our dogs through the Wolds and surrounding area. There are lots of great places to visit too. Our visitors are always awestruck by Lincoln Cathedral, while nearby Lincoln Castle houses one of the original copies of Magna Carta. The world-famous quaint Steep Hill in Lincoln dates from Roman times and was voted 'prettiest street in Britain'. The very extensive Hemswell Antiques Centre is another popular destination, attracting visitors from around the world. Doddington Hall is well worth a visit not only for its beautiful house and gardens, but also for its excellent café and farm shop, which sells superb produce. Every Christmas, we buy our turkey and Christmas tree there. At Grimsby docks, you can buy a selection of fresh, smoked and frozen fish. Closer to home, there are lots of great shops in Market Rasen and Lincoln. Several supermarkets deliver to our village. You'll also find some great village pubs locally. We're moving to be closer to our grandchildren. We'll be very sad to leave this fantastic Lissington home and our lovely neighbours after 26 years. However, we're sure the new custodians of the Old Vicarage will make just as many happy memories here as we have.
