Sutton Bridge on the Lincolnshire/Norfolk Border

Nestled in the quiet folds of the Lincolnshire-Norfolk border, Curlew Court is a spectacular barn conversion that sings with soul and style, a home where the craftsmanship of the past blends beautifully with the elegance of contemporary living.

From the moment you step into the expansive kitchen, the undisputed heart of the home, you are enveloped in light and character. Vaulted ceilings stretch above, adorned with exposed beams and statement chandeliers, while natural light pours in through generous roof lanterns and twin sets of bi-folding doors that open out to the garden, creating an effortless connection between indoors and out. The sleek cabinetry, striking teal tones, and top-end appliances speak to modern luxury, yet every detail is grounded in warmth and comfort.

This is a home made for entertaining, from intimate supper evenings to festive gatherings, with a flow of space that invites conversation and connection. The open-plan living areas are balanced by quiet, purposeful rooms: a cosy snug here, a sophisticated office there. The dining room is particularly impressive, a generous, welcoming space with a contemporary log-burner tucked in the corner, perfect for relaxed winter evenings or lively family occasions. The sitting room too offers its own sense of calm and comfort, with a second log burner creating a wonderful focal point and inviting atmosphere. Every room whispers a different story; every corner holds a surprise, from clever design touches to the generous utility wing tucked discreetly away.

On the ground floor, a beautifully appointed double bedroom with en-suite sits adjacent to a private reception room and enjoys proximity to the utility area, together forming a semi self-contained retreat, ideal for visiting guests or those seeking a comfortable space for multi-generational living.

Upstairs, the galleried landing gives a moment of pause, a place to breathe in the grandeur of the barn’s architecture. There are three beautifully appointed double bedrooms in total, each one thoughtfully designed and offering its own luxurious en-suite. The principal suite is a true retreat, complete with spa-like bathroom and a stylish fitted dressing area.

Step outside, and the magic continues. The grounds are a series of enchanting chapters, a landscaped haven of courtyards, borders, and places to sit with coffee or a glass of something chilled. A large workshop and two substantial barns offer huge scope, whether you dream of a studio, a classic car collection or creative business space.

Set in a peaceful rural location, yet just a short distance from village amenities and key transport links, Curlew Court offers the rare blend of seclusion and connectivity. A home that doesn’t just accommodate life – it enhances it.

This is more than a house. It is a lifestyle, a sanctuary, and a masterpiece of rural living.
