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.

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.

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.   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.

Some homes have presence because of their scale, others because of their setting. Becket House possesses both. Positioned in one of the most distinctive locations within the conservation village of Greatford, the house sits alongside Greatford Hall and the parish church of St Thomas a Becket, approached over an attractive late eighteenth century stone bridge that immediately sets the tone for arrival. Hidden from the main road and surrounded by mature gardens extending to just over half an acre, it occupies a setting that feels unusually private and quietly special. For the current owners, however, it was not simply the location that first caught their attention. Having originally been searching for an older property, they were drawn to the fact that although Becket House was built in 1986, it carried all the visual character of a much earlier house. Constructed by a builder for his own occupation using reclaimed stone from an old barn, the property immediately offered the appeal of traditional architecture combined with the advantages of more modern construction and practical family living. Its origins are closely linked with neighbouring Greatford Hall. The house was created within what had once been the Hall's vegetable gardens and the historic wall that still encloses the rear garden forms part of the original boundary to the estate. Today, those connections remain part of the property's character, giving Becket House a sense of belonging within its surroundings rather than feeling simply placed beside them. The approach is memorable. Crossing the bridge and passing the church and Greatford Hall creates an arrival that feels both atmospheric and unexpectedly secluded. The driveway sweeps gently around the house, opening into a substantial parking area and giving access to the garages. Mature planting, lawns and carefully arranged borders frame the front garden, while the church beyond provides a picturesque backdrop. Internally, Becket House extends to over 3,400 square feet and offers accommodation that feels both substantial and adaptable. Throughout the house there is a consistent sense of light and flow, something the owners have particularly enjoyed during their time here. Large windows and multiple garden-facing doors ensure that many of the principal rooms enjoy attractive views and a strong connection with the outside. The entrance hall forms a welcoming central point from which much of the ground floor accommodation unfolds. Double doors lead directly into the family kitchen and dining space while also connecting to the principal reception rooms and cloakroom facilities. The kitchen sits firmly at the heart of the home and is arranged as an impressive open plan family space. Generously proportioned and thoughtfully designed, it incorporates extensive cabinetry and a large central island beneath stone work surfaces, creating a practical arrangement for everyday life as well as entertaining. The owners comment that the house works exceptionally well for gatherings and celebrations, particularly during Christmas when the layout allows guests to move naturally between spaces. The open arrangement downstairs has hosted numerous parties over the years and the relationship between the house and garden becomes particularly apparent during the warmer months. French doors open directly from the dining and living areas onto the south facing gardens beyond. In fact, the owners note that three separate sets of doors along the rear elevation all frame views of the gardens and allow the outside to become part of day-to-day life. Beyond the principal kitchen space sits the striking garden room. With its vaulted glazed atrium ceiling and generous proportions, it provides an impressive additional reception space with a character entirely of its own. Filled with natural light and enjoying direct access to the garden and driveway, it creates a room that can function equally well as a quieter retreat or as part of larger entertaining occasions. Elsewhere, the house provides a selection of further reception areas suited to both family life and more formal occasions. The principal sitting room enjoys a dual aspect arrangement that allows light to move through the room throughout the day. French doors open directly onto the gardens, while a wood burning stove set within a stone fireplace creates a more intimate focal point during colder months. Alongside sits a substantial study. Beautifully proportioned and overlooking the gardens, it offers obvious practical use as a home office while retaining flexibility for a range of future uses depending on a purchaser's requirements. The current owners worked with Hunters Interiors in shaping much of the decorative scheme throughout the house. Their approach has been to create interiors that feel contemporary yet comfortable and welcoming. The result is a home that balances scale with warmth, avoiding formality despite its generous proportions. The first floor accommodation continues the sense of space established downstairs. Four double bedrooms are arranged around a large central landing, including the principal and guest bedrooms which both benefit from fitted wardrobes and en suite shower rooms. A modern family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms and includes a separate shower. A particularly versatile feature of the house lies beyond the main bedroom arrangement. Rising from the garden room, a separate staircase leads to bedroom five, complete with its own en suite shower room. Positioned independently from the principal first floor accommodation, it offers flexibility for guests, older children or multi-generational arrangements. Alongside the main house sits The Barn, a detached ancillary cottage arranged over two floors. Separate from the principal accommodation and with its own parking and garden area, The Barn is currently let and introduces opportunities for a range of future uses, subject to any necessary requirements. The accommodation includes a kitchen and sitting room at ground floor level with two bedrooms and a bathroom above. Well-proportioned throughout, it is a valuable addition to the overall property. Outside, the gardens have received considerable attention during the current ownership, with extensive investment in the landscape design, reshaping and development of the gardens to create a stronger sense of structure and year-round interest. Particular attention was given to planting and borders, including the creation of a substantial herbaceous border running alongside the original boundary wall. This was designed specifically to provide colour and interest throughout the seasons and forms one of the defining features of the gardens today. The rear gardens are especially private and enjoy a south facing orientation. Expansive lawns combine with mature planting, pathways and seating areas to create a sequence of spaces rather than a single open area. Framed by established trees, walls and planting, the gardens feel sheltered and peaceful while still retaining a sense of openness. The owners describe the property as ideal for entertaining but equally suited to quieter, day-to-day enjoyment. It is not only the house itself they will miss, but also the wider village community. Greatford has long been known for its strong sense of community and village spirit. The village hall forms the centre of many local activities and events throughout the year, including regular gatherings and summer celebrations. According to the owners there is a genuine sense of people looking after one another and stepping forward when help is needed. Combined with the convenience of Stamford, Bourne and Peterborough nearby, together with excellent schooling and transport connections, Becket House offers an unusual combination of privacy, practicality and character. Some houses offer attractive accommodation. Others offer memorable settings. Becket House manages to combine both in a way that feels increasingly difficult to find.   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.

Woodgate Barn is an exceptional conversion of former farm buildings, combining original character with contemporary finishes and an impressive range of eco features. Offering just under 4,400 sq ft (STS) of accommodation, the house has been finished with considerable attention to detail, retaining original materials wherever possible and complemented by bespoke joinery, quality flooring, and carefully chosen finishes. Inside, the main living areas combine character with real wow factor. The bespoke kitchen flows into a dramatic double-height living space with exposed timbers and a striking spiral staircase rising to a galleried landing. A substantial main reception room has a similarly impressive sense of scale, with a vaulted ceiling, full-height glazing and an inglenook fireplace with a wood burner, with generous space for dining or a large games table. The five/six double bedrooms include a spacious principal suite with a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and a Juliet balcony overlooking the surrounding countryside. Outside, the former barn buildings frame an expansive lawned garden and terrace, with open countryside beyond, creating an outstanding sense of privacy and tranquillity. A large workshop offers scope for leisure or business use, or potential conversion to a separate annexe, subject to planning. A newly built triple garage has 3x10ft Horman electric doors and generous driveway provide ample parking. Despite its peaceful rural setting, Woodgate Barn is only six miles from the market town of Newark, which offers excellent road links and fast rail services to London. Seller Insights We converted the barn buildings into a family home in 2010. Our vision was to create a farmstead in the country – somewhere we could raise our children and enjoy time with family and friends, surrounded by beautiful countryside. We worked with an excellent local builder to bring that vision to life. A great deal of thought and investment went into achieving a high-quality finish throughout, from the bespoke kitchen and flooring to the oak doors and joinery. Sustainability was also very important to us, so we've installed solar panels, rainwater harvesting and a new air-source heat pump, which makes the house incredibly economical to heat. The barn is also very well insulated, so it stays wonderfully cosy through the winter. At the same time, we've retained original features wherever possible, including the timbers – some of which are more than 200 years old. The house has a spacious feel, which has been ideal for both family life and entertaining. The main reception room is a fantastic place to play pool, entertain friends or simply relax in front of the fire. It opens directly onto the garden, where there's plenty of room for children to run around, play football or throw a frisbee, as well as for al fresco dining and parties. We've hosted many celebrations here, including a special birthday celebration with more than 100 guests, but it works just as well for smaller gatherings. With most of the accommodation on the ground floor, the layout works particularly well for families and could also suit multigenerational living. All the bedrooms have lovely views, while the lawns outside are secure for children and pets. The house is ready to move into, but there's also plenty of scope for the new owners to make it their own and develop it further. The workshop, for example, could work equally well as a gym or home office, or potentially be converted into separate accommodation, subject to planning. What we particularly love about the location is the combination of privacy and connectivity. You're surrounded by countryside, yet Newark station is within easy reach, with London just over an hour away by train and excellent road connections across the region and beyond.

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.
