Description

Sitting on the fringe of the charming village of Scotton, in North Lincolnshire, Toftstead Barn is a beautifully reimagined farmhouse, where timeless character meets modern elegance. Set within a quarter-acre of private landscaped gardens, this four-bedroom home offers extensive light-filled living spaces, wrapped in warmth, craftsmanship, and quiet confidence.

Since acquiring the property in 2015, the current owners have poured vision and care into every corner, remodelling the ground floor to suit contemporary life, and securing planning permission to connect and convert the attached two-storey barn. The newly completed living room, with its vaulted ceiling and orangery feel, now adjoins the barn, ready for its next chapter. Whether you dream of a luxurious principal suite, a creative studio, or a guest retreat, the barn offers endless potential. For now, it serves as a generous workshop, and creative space with storage. There are three rooms on the ground floor and two above.

Inside - ground floor
The original farmhouse entrance opens into a breathtaking 9.5m open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space, anchored by a bespoke island that blends granite and oak with sculptural flair. Traditional cabinetry in soft grey and stone tones is paired with premium appliances, including an Everhot range, built-in coffee machine and wine fridge. A twin-bowl Belfast sink and stunning custom splashback add to the visual delight, further enhanced by an exposed brick chimney breast with a dual fuel stove, which adds traditional charm. Squared archways lead to a spacious sitting and dining area, complete with underfloor heating, and an oak return staircase which rises gracefully to the first floor. Bi-folding doors open into the newly added living room, a showstopping space with vaulted trusses and roof windows. There are two further sets of bi-folds that open into the garden, and flood the living room with light. The centrepiece of the room is the circular Italian wood-burning stove, which adds sculptural warmth for the cooler seasons. The additional forward-facing reception room on this floor currently serves as a home office, but would equally make an ideal playroom or hobbyist space, with French doors to the garden and an adjoining cloakroom. A sleek utility room completes the ground floor, with high-gloss cabinetry and access to the rear garden.

Upstairs
The oak staircase is bathed in light from a dual-height feature window, offering views across the garden. Romo wallpaper and wainscot panelling frame the landing, which leads to four generous double bedrooms and two bathrooms arranged over two levels. The principal suite includes a dressing area and a sleek ensuite with walk-in shower. The family bathroom features a freestanding slipper bath and walk-in shower, while a guest bathroom surprises with a softly glowing steam cubicle, turning everyday routines into moments of quiet luxury.

Outside
To the front, a broad lawn and floral borders frame the approach, with a private driveway leading to a double garage with electric door, and a covered walkway. To the rear, a private walled garden offers plenty of opportunity to enjoy the sunshine, with fruit trees, ornamental planting, multiple seating areas, and a covered area, perfect for entertaining or quiet reflection. The barn, accessed from the garden and adjoining the living room, has the benefit of full planning permission for conversion. Whether you envision a home office, gym, Airbnb, or multigenerational annex, the possibilities are yours to shape.

Location & Lifestyle
Scotton is a desirable Lincolnshire village with a strong sense of community. With a friendly pub, local school, village hall, sports court, playing field, historic church, and countryside walks, it offers connection and charm in equal measure. The nearest station is just 2.8 miles away, with excellent links to Lincoln and beyond. The area has much to offer, and nearby highlights include
Winteringham Fields (a Michelin-starred restaurant), Hemswell Cliff Antiques Centre, Blyton Ice Cream, Uncle Henry’s Farm Shop, Trent Valley Gliding Club, Blyton Racetrack, Hibaldstow Skydiving, Wild Pines Park, and Marshalls Yard.

A home that lives well Toftstead Barn is turnkey-ready, with no expense spared. From reclaimed timber and stone flag flooring to lantern roofs, bifold doors, and exposed beams, every detail has been considered. It’s a home that offers space to grow, room to breathe, and the freedom to create your own story. Whether you’re a growing family, a professional couple, or seeking a home for multigenerational living, or with income potential, this is a home that adapts, inspires, and keeps on giving.
