The thatched part was the original cottage which was almost half the size which dates to between 1730 and 1740 but was extended very sympathetically using reclaimed materials in 1990. The fine thatch is particularly beautiful with a straw pheasant surveying the land from the ridge. The house and thatcher were featured in Lincolnshire Life magazine in 2021. All the property’s windows are timber-framed but double-glazed ensuring a warm and cosy home. The interior displays a wealth of overhead beams but is flooded with natural light.
This delightful property sits on just under two acres and is fully enclosed with metal-framed solid timber gates at the entrance. A spacious gravelled drive offers parking for numerous vehicles and a timber double garage stands at the far end. The annex is positioned parallel to the house and has been used for both offices and as extra accommodation. Along the back of the annex are two large storage rooms in tandem, one with an inner lining making it extra secure.
The equestrian facilities include an approximately one acre paddock completely fenced in post and rail and sheltered by high evergreen trees and hedging. Water is to the paddock on an automatic feeder system. Three timber stables stand in the field close to the drive, one 11ft. 1in. x 9ft. 7in. and another 9ft. 7in. x 8ft. 5in. adjoining each other, and another for a horse or as a foaling box measuring 15 ft. 7 in. x 11 ft. 6 in. There is also a chicken run in one corner.
The quiet and peaceful garden is expansive, largely laid to lawn but with decking directly from the south facing side of the house. Here, the heated swimming pool creates a lovely sense, in summer, of being on holiday.
Farm House Cottage is ideal for a family as there is an excellent choice of secondary schools in catchment such as co-educational Bourne Grammar, rated Outstanding by Ofsted, the Grammar School (for boys) and the High School (for girls), the latter also rated Outstanding, in Spalding. Ayscoughfee Hall is a preparatory school in Spalding and plenty more independent schools are slightly further afield. Travelling by car is straightforward as trunk roads - the A16, the A17, the A15 and the A52 - are nearby and the A1 is about 40 minutes’ drive.

The grade II listed, four bedroomed house, the principal one en suite, is full of character and enjoys a good connection with the garden and its swimming pool, as well as a sizeable annex which could be used for extra accommodation or be an extensive office suite for a business. Further outbuildings include stables, a workshop and storage.
