Seller Insight    “Attwood Place has been our home for the past twenty nine years. From the very first moment we stepped inside, there was an undeniable welcoming spirit and the beautiful inglenook fireplace sealed our decision. As a Grade II listed property dating back to 1703, it carries with it a rich heritage. We even had the privilege of celebrating its 300th anniversary here, hosting a wonderful party to mark the occasion.” “During our time here, we have been careful to modernise while preserving its charm. We added a garage in the traditional Kent barn style, blending practicality with character and a new roof in 2014. In the sitting room we introduced an additional window to flood the space with light - a lengthy process, but well worth the effort. We also installed a fireplace with a solid wooden beam, in keeping with the style. In the main bedroom we added a walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite bathroom. We also purchased extra land to extend the garden.” .    “The house is full of beautiful features - exposed beams, many of which were reclaimed from old ships, each carrying its own story. My favourite spaces are the sitting room and dining room, both cosy and perfect for welcoming guests. The layout is unusual, with no passageways - each room flows into the next, making it ideal for entertaining. We are a sociable family, and friends have always loved visiting. In the winter, gatherings are held indoors by the fire, and in the summer, we entertain in the garden or by the swimming pool.” “The garden and orchard are wonderfully private, offering apples, plums, pears, blackberries, gooseberries, and even apricots.” The village hall has offered cinema nights, children’s parties, church and fund raising events, fitness classes including pilates and yoga. It’s a place that brings people together in the local community. We are also fortunate to have one pub which is very sociable. All amenities are within easy reach.” “What we will miss most when we leave is the sense of space, the privacy, and above all, the joy of entertaining family and friends here over the years. Attwood Place has been incredibly kind to us, and we have always considered ourselves its custodians. We hope that whoever makes it their home next will love it just as much as we have.” Entrance Hall    Period door to front. Carpet. Plain ceiling. Stairs to lower landing.

Fane, who had grown up in the manor, added many features, such as mullioned windows and servants' quarters (later demolished). During World War II, the manor was requisitioned by the armed forces. Members of the First Airborne Division of the British Army were stationed at the property ahead of the Battle of Arnhem in 1944. In 2024, a five-day archaeological dig in the grounds uncovered historical artefacts from that period, as well as ancient relics – believed to date back to the Stone Age. The property has been in the Fane family for more than 130 years. Seller Insights It's hard to put into words just how special Fulbeck Manor is. There's a real sense of grandeur about the manor, and it's full of character and charming features. The house and grounds have been in my family for over 130 years, which makes it incredibly special to me. Charles Thorold Fane, an ancestor of mine, grew up here when the house was still a parsonage. He later moved to London to pursue a career in banking, but when he returned to Lincolnshire, he chose to buy back his childhood home – and our family has been here ever since. The house is full of historical connections, and we have a great deal of information we can share, including its requisitioning during the Second World War. It really does feel as though history is woven into the fabric of the manor. The dining room has a real wow factor. It's a great space for entertaining – and you can comfortably seat 20 guests. One of my favourite spaces is the main reception room, which we call the drawing room. It's a beautiful room, with triple-aspect bay windows that look out across the valley – the perfect place to sit, unwind, and take in the wonderful views. The house has a great sense of space and generous proportions – with high ceilings and large rooms. In common with so many properties of this age, the walls are very thick and well insulated. Over the past few years, I've carried out various refurbishments to the house. I've modernised and recarpeted much of the top floor and installed new showers and suites on the upper floors. That said, there's still plenty of scope for a new owner to make their own mark, subject to the necessary planning and listed building consents. The garden has a lovely, Capability Brown–inspired feel, with some unusual trees, including a rare weeping beech and cedar trees. The grounds have been designed with easy maintenance in mind – a robot lawnmower takes care of much of the work. Fulbeck is a very picturesque conservation village with many green spaces and an unusually large number of listed buildings. There's always something going on in the village. We have an excellent pub, The Hare and Hounds, as well as a sports and social club, a Grade I-listed church, and active village groups. Although I'm excited about starting a new chapter, I will be sad to leave Fulbeck Manor. It's a truly remarkable home, set in an idyllic village. I have many happy memories here, and I'm sure the next owners will treasure it just as much. Location Fulbeck is a charming and historic conservation village set along the Lincoln Cliff escarpment. The village is situated midway between Grantham and Lincoln. Fulbeck has a strong sense of community and a range of amenities, including a Grade I-listed church and the popular 17th-century Hare and Hounds pub, which offers fine dining and accommodation. Other amenities include a village hall and a sports and social club, with playing fields for football and cricket.

Other nearby attractions include Belton Woods Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort, Elms Farm Equestrian Centre and Ancaster Leisure, the region's largest outdoor activity centre.
