Greatford, PE9 4PX

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.
