It’s been lovingly maintained and sensitively updated over the years, preserving all the original charm and character but with contemporary features and touches.” “The house has some lovely period details, such as the elegant sash windows and exposed beams, which add character throughout.

The cellar, once fully functional, hints at the property's fascinating past – there was even a windmill in the garden at one time.

The stable also has delightful original touches.” “It’s an unusually spacious house for a property of its age. The layout would work beautifully for family life, with excellent storage throughout.

We installed a new kitchen about 18 months ago, but there’s still plenty of scope for the new owners to personalise the space and make it their own.” “The coach house annexe in particular has so much potential – whether as accommodation for older children, extended family, or even as a holiday let or Airbnb, subject to the relevant permissions.” “The garden really is the jewel of the property.

It’s peaceful, private, and full of character. We’ve spent a lot of time nurturing it back to life.

There are so many interesting mature trees, flowering shrubs, and perennial plants in the garden, including a beautiful rhododendron and a historic magnolia tree that we have photos of dating back to the 1800s.” “The swim spa is fantastic.

It’s tucked away on a private, decked area screened by hedging. The sauna is a real treat too – ideal for relaxing at the end of a long day.” “It’s a quintessential English country garden.

The garden is completely private and arranged across three distinct areas: a sweeping lawn beside the house, a woodland section beyond, and an additional garden space that could easily become a productive vegetable patch or house a greenhouse.” “The location couldn’t be better.

We’re keen walkers, and the countryside here is stunning. You can step out of the front door and immediately be on scenic trails through the Lincolnshire Wolds.

In the other direction, you have the town of Spilsby, which has everything you could want in terms of amenities – from independent shops to supermarkets.” “Some of the best-kept secrets around here are the nearby beaches.

Mablethorpe, Sutton-on-Sea, and Anderby Creek are all a short drive away – and they’re stunning, often beautifully quiet, and totally unspoiled.” “There are some great attractions in the local area.

Gunby Hall and Gardens, which is owned by the National Trust, is just down the road.

Meanwhile, the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre at East Kirkby is home to numerous interesting exhibits, as well as a Lancaster and a Mosquito aircraft.
