The Property This superb period farmhouse has retained many original features, yet seamlessly marries them with contemporary living comforts and is heated by way of an LPG gas-fired system with uPVC windows and doors all round. A recent addition of an annexe to the rear creates versatile options for extended families or for entertainment space, along with the brilliant outdoor swimming pool and jacuzzi. The property is ideally positioned in the Lincolnshire Wolds, making it an ideal possibility for use as a holiday cottage, which it has recently been successfully run as due to its close proximity to the popular market town of Horncastle, the Lincolnshire coast line and outdoor pursuits within the Wolds. The gardens enjoys brilliant views of the neighbouring Grade 2 listed Langton windmill.
