Toft Next Newton, Market Rasen, Lincolnshire, LN8

Clay Barn is a superb example of country living, created from the conversion of a 19th-century barn and part of an exclusive development of traditional farm buildings. The thoughtful design and high-quality finish strike the perfect balance between rustic charm and modern comfort.

A truly individual home that retains the character of its heritage while offering everything required for contemporary family life.

Set in the heart of the Lincolnshire countryside, this impressive five-bedroom home delivers versatile living spaces ideal for entertaining, family gatherings, or simply embracing a relaxed rural lifestyle. The secure, private courtyard setting adds to the sense of seclusion, while the generous proportions of the home allow space to grow, work, and unwind — all within easy reach of Market Rasen and open countryside.

Step Inside

The heart of the home is the impressive over 13m open-plan living/dining kitchen, featuring classic shaker-style cabinetry, a built-in dog bed, sleek quartz surfaces, high-spec NEFF appliances, and French doors opening onto the courtyard garden — perfect for social gatherings or relaxed family meals. The separate lounge with log-burning stove adds warmth and character, while additional reception space provides versatility for a home office or playroom.

Three ground-floor bedrooms — including a guest suite — plus a luxurious family bathroom with a freestanding bath, create flexible accommodation options. Two further ensuite bedrooms occupy the first floor, each featuring vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and modern ensuite bathrooms designed with contemporary fittings, adding to the home’s rustic charm.

Practical spaces include a utility and plant room, alongside a bright passageway connecting the wings of the home. Natural materials, flagstone floors, and oak detailing run throughout, complementing the barn’s heritage.

Step Outside

The private courtyard garden is designed for entertaining and everyday enjoyment, with patio seating areas, artificial lawns, and mature planting. Sheltered by the surrounding wings of the property, the courtyard offers a secure and private outdoor space ideal for children and pets to play safely or for hosting summer gatherings with family and friends.

Deep flagstone steps lead down to a central circular patio, creating a charming focal point and a perfect spot for outdoor dining. Pathways connect the various French doors around the courtyard, seamlessly linking the inside and outside spaces.
The block-paved driveway provides ample parking for multiple vehicles and easy access to the property. Additional features include a timber shed for storage, an oil tank discreetly positioned within the grounds, outside lighting, and an external tap — all thoughtfully designed to support practical outdoor living.
