The moment we approached its handsome façade and stepped into the impressive entrance hall we knew we had discovered something truly special, this was the home we had been waiting for.' 'The timeless grandeur and elegance of the house ensures we can entertain effortlessly, both inside and out. The spacious rooms, tall ceilings and Victorian charm allow for large gatherings, particularly at Christmas when festive décor transforms the home into a winter wonderland, with large trees gracing the halls and meals prepared in the heart of the kitchen on the traditional range. Outside we have hosted many celebrations, whether it's a marquee on the formal lawn or intimate candlelit dinner parties on the terrace. Thanks to the swim spa with retractable pool house we have had many pool parties without the English weather dampening our enjoyment!' 'Yet, despite its size, the house has always remained very much our beloved home, exuding a warm and inviting atmosphere. Countless evenings have been spent by the comforting glow of the log burner, while the garden offers many peaceful spots, one of our favourites being the hidden terrace in the cottage garden, where we can relax with a G&T, soaking in the last rays of sunshine in the gazebo' 'The house is steeped in history, we understand it was once the cherished home of Reverend Cragg and his eight children for over 60 years, a sanctuary for family life and community within the village before becoming a private residence. The stone-carved shields and sculpted heads adorning the façade have intrigued historians and stonemasons alike, and we rather love that The Old Vicarage continues to hold onto some of its secrets'. 'We have taken immense pride in transforming the gardens over the last decade. Every season is a joy, from the burst of life from the cottage garden boarders in Spring, the elegance of the roses throughout the Summer to the rich colours provided by holly bushes and many varieties of native trees throughout Autumn and Winter. The kitchen garden, with raised beds, provide us with a wealth of produce and we are lucky to have an abundance of wildlife including birds, hedgehogs, frogs and newts that thrive in the gardens, making the property feel like a natural retreat.' 'Whilst the property is within walking distances of all the village amenities it is just a stone's throw away from the vast countryside and open skies of the Fens which stretch out into endless miles of country tracks, perfect for long, leisurely dog walks.' 'Despite its grandeur, the Old Vicarage never forgets that it is first and foremost a home and one we will miss terribly but it is time for us to start a new chapter. Whether full of family and friends or enjoyed in peaceful solitude, it offers the perfect balance of space, luxury and comfort in a truly idyllic village setting, with the beauty of the countryside and the rich natural world right on its doorstep.'

Welcome to Old Canal Farm, a beautifully restored 18th-century farmhouse, blending historical charm with modern comforts. Nestled in the scenic Vale of Belvoir, Cropwell Bishop is a picturesque village with a rich agricultural heritage dating back to the Domesday Book of 1086. Historically, the village has been renowned for its role in dairy farming, and today it remains famous for its Cropwell Bishop Stilton, an award-winning blue cheese produced locally. The village’s name originates from Old English, with Cropwell meaning a well or spring by a hill, and Bishop added later when the land came under the ownership of the Bishop of York. This stunning five-bedroom home offers a perfect retreat for those seeking character, space, and tranquillity, all while being conveniently located within easy reach of Nottingham’s amenities. The History of Old Canal Farm Originally known as the Canal Inn, Old Canal Farm has a unique and storied past as a former 18th-century village pub. Serving as a social hub for locals and travellers along Nottingham Road, the Canal Inn was a place where villagers would gather, share news, and unwind after a day's work in the fields. Its strategic location close to the Grantham Canal meant it likely welcomed canal workers and traders passing through the area, making it an important stop for refreshments and rest in the heart of the village. As the village evolved, the Canal Inn eventually transitioned into a working farmhouse, adopting the name Old Canal Farm. This change likely reflected shifts in the local economy and the needs of the community. The property maintained its agricultural roots, contributing to the village's rich farming heritage, which Cropwell Bishop is renowned for, particularly its dairy production and connection to the famous Cropwell Bishop Stilton and Beauvale cheese, a renowned blue cheese developed through a collaboration between the Michelin-starred chef Sat Bains and the Cropwell Bishop Creamery. Today, Old Canal Farm retains the charm of its historical beginnings, blending its unique past as a local inn with the character of a traditional farmhouse. The original structure, still standing proudly on Nottingham Road, holds the spirit of both its roles in the village's history, making it a distinctive and meaningful part of Cropwell Bishop’s heritage. Property Overview: Old Canal Farm boasts five generously sized bedrooms, ideal for family living, including a master suite complete with an en-suite bathroom. With three versatile reception rooms, this home provides ample space for both formal entertaining and cosy family moments. The bright breakfast kitchen features integrated appliances including an oven and grill, Aga stove, dishwasher and fridge which seamlessly connects to an inviting sunroom, creating the perfect setting for relaxed mornings or evening gatherings. The property has recently been updated with newly fitted carpets upstairs and solid oak flooring throughout the ground floor, combining traditional features with stylish finishes. Outside, the expansive electric gates open to the grounds entering picturesque orchards, offering an idyllic countryside setting. An attached outbuilding fully connected to gas and electricity, is water-tight and ready for easy development which further enhances the property’s appeal. This space offers excellent potential for development—whether you're looking to create extra living space, a self-contained annexe for elderly parents, a studio, or a home office, the possibilities are endless. Location: Located in the heart of Cropwell Bishop, this charming village is well-known for its community spirit and rural charm, surrounded by rolling countryside yet only a short drive from the vibrant city of Nottingham. The village itself offers a selection of local amenities, including a post office, shops, pubs, and the renowned Cropwell Bishop Creamery, famed for its award-winning Stilton cheese. Schools: Families will benefit from the proximity to highly regarded schools in the area. The local Cropwell Bishop Primary School is rated highly for its nurturing environment and academic performance, while nearby Toot Hill School in Bingham, a short drive away, offers excellent secondary education and boasts an ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted rating. The area is also well-served by a variety of independent schools in Nottingham and the surrounding region, providing a wide range of educational opportunities.

A fantastic opportunity to embark upon a splendid country lifestyle in the grand residence of Woodhall Spa Manor in the well-served, historic village of Woodhall Spa. Idyllically located between the world famous Hotchkin and Bracken Golf Courses with stunning, far-reaching views across the manicured courses, it is just a minute's walk from the first tee. Approached along a tree lined road, the red-brick Manor is set in picturesque gardens within a wooded environment and leafy grounds of 3 acres. Dating back to the Georgian period and predominantly from the Edwardian era, it offers 12 stylish bedrooms and 7 splendid reception rooms, all presented in immaculate order and decorated to the highest standards. Sellers Insight: “We’d been happily living in London. Like so many, ‘a little place in the country’ was also our dream and passion. For two years we searched high and low, and visited many places all over the country: a stately home in South Wales, a Tudor mansion in Norfolk, a Manor hotel in the Isle of Wight, a grand private residence in the Cotswolds… but still no place seemed to be right.” “Then, one day in early 2013, we visited Woodhall Spa and were immediately attracted to this elegant and charming village. It is located in the centre of Lincolnshire and known as the ‘Jewel in the Crown’ of the county. When we drove along the long estate road, flanked by the serried ranks of linden trees, we caught our first magical glimpse of the Manor. As we passed massive horse chestnuts, beeches, and high rhododendrons, heavy with their mass of purple and pink blossoms, the imposing grandeur of the whole building suddenly presented itself. A rather special place to call home!” “The renovation was a huge learning curve – and there were plenty of surprises in the process. Many times we wondered what we had done, leaving all the certainty behind and moving into uncharted territory. Still, we were determined to stick with it! During the refurbishment, we were extremely careful in retaining the existing original features such as fluted brass curtain poles with decorative chasing and adding appropriate fittings like the much-admired gold, cast iron radiators and the numerous large crystal chandeliers.” “Remodelling the grounds was a question of working with a sizeable amount of lawn and very mature woodland in about equal measure. We cut a secret meandering path through the woodland which leads you to the honeysuckle hideaway, a little area directly overlooking the tenth tee of the Bracken Golf Course. It’s the perfect place to catch the last rays of the setting sun whilst enjoying the sweeping views into the distance down the 10th and 18th fairways.” “Rejuvenating the sunken garden was a real pleasure. Now, the semi-wild area is a peaceful place to go and relax, surrounded by a high canopy of silver birches, beeches, oaks, ash and yew trees. You can just sit inside the pavilion and watch the lively fish and the trickling fountain, with birdsong all around. It’s been an absolute hit with everyone who has seen it and, whilst it’s hosted many wedding ceremonies, it has also been the perfect alfresco setting for many joyful family drinks parties.” “The west terrace is another one of our favourite places for outdoor entertaining. In the summer months, the sun sets late over the golf course and the front of the Manor and terrace are bathed in a yellow glow, whilst the range of Narnia-like outdoor post lights illuminate the grounds long after the sun has set.”    “This is an absolute nature-lover’s paradise too. We enjoy marvelling at such an abundance of wonderful wildlife: from muntjac deer to hares openly grazing on the front lawn, to brimstones, peacocks, orange tips and red admiral butterflies fluttering around the buddleia, to the myriad dragon and damsel flies dancing in the sky, to the countless birds such as pheasants, partridge, mallards, owls, woodpeckers and jays that nest in the grounds.” “Winters are lovely here. Even it’s cold and snowy outside, the fantastic radiators keep the Manor so toasty and then of course, there’s the amazing open fire in the hall which gives the place such a warm, snug and homely atmosphere – especially at Christmas time.” “What a contrast to life in London!” “This delightful property is essentially in three distinct parts and creates many possibilities: a beautiful country mansion as a getaway haven, a comfortable multi-generational family home, a spiritual and well-being retreat, a unique holiday let for those seeking an income, or a ready-made hotel and events venue. The main part of the Manor is currently run as an award-winning luxurious weddings and parties venue, which could be continued as a turn-key business.” Historic Importance Woodhall Spa Manor is intrinsically linked to the development of the village from its formative years as a fashionable inland spa resort and its continuing connection to the world renowned Hotchkin Golf Course. A small hunting lodge stood on the manor site in the late 18th century. Originally known as Woodhall Lodge, it was acquired by landowner Thomas Hotchkin and became his favourite of all his manors throughout Rutland and Lincolnshire. In the late 1830s, when the famous mineral water was discovered for its exceptional health-giving properties, he capitalised on it by improving the well and building the first hotel and bathhouse here, after which the village flourished as a spa resort. Four further generations of the Hotchkin family lived here and it was Stafford Vere Hotchkin, who designed and created the famous golf course bearing his name, and who also considerably extended the Manor. Around 1905, the east and west wings were built, leaving the front entrance wholly Georgian. The magnificent staircase, the handsome fireplaces and the mahogany panelling all date from this period of high elegance. In 1965 the property was sold to the National Farmers Union and converted into offices as the company’s regional headquarters, then sold in 1980s to a local businessman, who continued to run it as offices. In 2013 the current owners attentively renovated the building and landscaped the grounds, renaming the property as Woodhall Spa Manor.

Its exact date of construction isn't fully documented, but like many buildings in the area, it likely dates back to the 18th or early 19th century, reflecting the architectural style of that period. Historically, the property was occupied by the estate manager who was responsible for overseeing the extensive grounds and operations of Clifton Hall, the ancestral home of the Clifton family. The estate manager was married to one of the Pilkington daughters of the glass manufacturing family and he played a crucial role in the day-to-day management of Clifton Hall’s gardens, farmland, and other properties, ensuring that the estate functioned smoothly. This connection to Clifton Hall further emphasises the property's historical significance within the local community. The Grange's association with estate management reflects its status as an important part of Clifton Village’s architectural and social heritage.

A unique and captivating Grade II Listed former Rectory with 6 bedrooms, stunning Vale House conservatory and 2 bedroom self-contained Coach House. Set in enchanting and mature grounds of around 2 acres, hidden from the outside world, in an idyllic spot in the heart of Lord Tennyson country in the Lincolnshire Wolds. Seller Insights “‘Non sibi solum’ is the motto carved on one of the front walls of The Old Rectory and it is the perfect house for entertaining family and friend for parties, festive gatherings or quiet house party weekends.” “The house was designed and built in 1854 by S S Tuelon, a Victorian architect renowned for building rectories and churches in and around London and a number in Lincolnshire with a liking for the Gothic Revival style and use of multi-coloured bricks.” “The large reception hall, the four public rooms as well as the bespoke Vale conservatory and the large garden permit guests to mingle and be sociable or find peaceful solitude.” “I love to entertain and in winter have enjoyed serving pre-dinner drinks in the main reception hall or the drawing room then moving into the dining room for a formal meal. I have had roaring fires in all the rooms, even in the hall for a lovely warm welcome.” “A marvellous spacious property for a family, the garden provides loads of hidden dens for children as well as a mini maze to the side of the house, and is perfect for multigenerational living with the two bedroom coach house in the grounds.” “The wonderful inviting conservatory brings the garden inside. It is the perfect spot to watch the plethora of wildlife from hedgehogs, owls and boxing hares to the amazing variety of birds; at present we seem to have a resident pheasant. At Christmas, sitting round a large table makes for a magical experience.” “The dual zone central heating system is very convenient as you can choose to have the ground floor on but not the upstairs. The conservatory has underfloor heating but I’ve never had to put it on even though I use it all year round.” “The garden is just magic. In late winter and early spring we go from carpets of snowdrops to nodding heads of many varieties of daffodils to bluebells and hyacinths then the magnolias through to the lilacs, and in summer, onto roses and hydrangeas - there is always something flowering. The large pond is naturally fed with a small waterfall at one end. It is full of pond life and visited by mating mallards, moorhens and other water birds. There are several seating areas within the whole of the garden, ideal if you want to chill out, sketch or read a book or listen to the birds singing. One of them, the pavilion, means you can sit out even if it is raining.” “There is enough space in the grounds to fence off areas for grazing if someone wanted to have a horse or some ponies; there is still the old stabling in the coach house, or other outbuildings could be used for this purpose.” “Great potential is offered here for further development. You could have an outside office or studio for instance, or convert the garage building into more self-contained accommodation *error*; there are so many options.” “The improvements I have made include adding the aluminium greenhouse with self-regulating roof vents and fitting bespoke solid light oak shelving in the reading room/library, a room for quiet contemplation. Outside, I have doubled the size of the orchard so it now provides apples, pears, plums, damsons, medlars and crab apples. The crab apple and mint jelly last year was absolutely delicious. I also installed the large iron gates at the entrance which involved raising the height of the piers using reclaimed handmade Victorian bricks, I reinstated the original steps in the south lawn having discovered they were there in Victorian times - incidentally, the lawn overlooked by the dining room was a tennis court then - and I have put a proper pulley on the old well although it has a grid across the top for safety.” “Four lights at the entrance to the property grounds on the bridge come on automatically as light is fading and go off around 11pm; they are on an adjustable timer.” “There is a handy letter box within a stone’s throw of the main front gate. From here there is a footpath that leads to Aswardby across fields if you want to walk your dog, and after a winter walk, a welcoming afternoon tea is held in the reception hall.” “I adore this place and wish I could pick it up and take it with me. I thought it was to be my forever home but it is not to be so I am reluctantly having to hand it on to someone who I hope will love and cherish it and continue with the custodial care that I have given it.” • Grade II listed, former rectory designed by renowned architect S.S.
