Description
“My children grew up here. This house has held our laughter, our Christmas mornings, our everyday moments — it’s been the backdrop to everything that mattered.”
Our Thoughts…Some homes have a feeling about them, a quiet kind of contentment that welcomes you the moment you step inside. This Grade II listed cottage, in the Lincolnshire village of Morton just outside Bourne, is exactly that kind of place. Warm, solid, full of character and charm, it’s a home that has been lived in, loved, and gently restored by someone who knew exactly how to bring the best out of it.
The current owner was drawn to the house for its character and country cottage charm. With a family background in building, they saw the potential from the start and set about restoring it with care, attention, and a deep respect for its history.
“The house oozed character and country cottage charm. It was a good renovation project, and I knew I could give it the love it deserved while restoring it.”
From the outside, it’s one of the prettiest homes in the village. Tucked behind a neat garden wall, with complete privacy and beautiful kerb appeal, it has a strong sense of presence. The driveway, carport, and garage provide plenty of parking, and above the garage sits a self-contained annexe with a modern kitchen, sleek bathroom, and a bright living space filled with natural light from the skylights. It’s a fantastic space for working from home, welcoming guests, or exploring rental income potential.
Inside the main house, the entrance hall leads to a cosy snug, the perfect space for winter evenings and, as the owner says, their favourite spot to open presents on Christmas morning. The main living room is warm and spacious, with exposed wooden beams and a fireplace that invites people to gather and settle in.
“The fires downstairs make this the cosiest place in winter. And in summer, people love it here because while new houses are boiling, mine stays lovely and cool.”
At the heart of the home is the kitchen, with its Derbyshire stone floor, Lacanche range cooker, and sociable layout. It’s a space that works for everyday life and entertaining alike. A fireplace discovered during the renovation now houses a growing wine collection, and just off the rear hallway, the utility room adds practicality without compromising on charm. There’s also a smart ground floor bathroom, finished with Burlington fittings.
“My kitchen is my favourite spot. I cook, my friends chat and drink, and it just works.”
Upstairs, there are four generously sized double bedrooms, all full of light and character. The principal bedroom is especially peaceful and spacious. Bedrooms two and three have their original fireplaces, while bedroom four, although not featuring a fireplace, is still beautifully proportioned and bright. The family bathroom has been completely redone, featuring a freestanding roll-top bath with an overhead shower and more elegant Burlington fittings.
Throughout the home, the upgrades have been carefully chosen to honour the building’s heritage while improving comfort and efficiency. A new Collyweston slate roof, hardwood windows and doors made as exact replicas of the originals, and a pressurised heating system are just a few of the improvements made during the current ownership.
“It’s really private and perfectly placed for families, near the area’s best primary and secondary schools, including Willoughby. Plus, you’ve got options to work from home or rent out the annexe for income.”
Outside, the garden is a lovely extension of the home. There’s a well-kept lawn, a patio for entertaining, and an original outbuilding that could be used as a studio, workshop, garden office, or extra storage. It’s a private, peaceful space that works just as well for relaxed evenings as it does for children playing or friends gathering.
Morton is a well-connected village with a local Co-op, a primary school, and a strong sense of community. You’re just a few minutes from Bourne, with Stamford, Spalding, Grantham, and Peterborough all within easy reach. From the house, you can walk the dog across the fields to Dyke for a second local pub or cycle into town with ease.
“It’s been an amazing place to bring up my girls. We’ve walked the fields with the dog, cycled to Bourne, and had everything we needed right here.”
This house has been part of two family stories so far. Before the current owners moved in, it was Arthur’s house. He raised his family here and ran a mobile fish and chip shop from the property. People in the village still refer to it that way. And now, after another chapter full of love, laughter, and life, it’s ready to welcome the next.
“Arthur, the previous owner, raised his family here too. People still say ‘Oh, you live in Arthur’s house.’ I hope they remember us as fondly as they remember him.”
