Stragglethorpe, Lincoln, LN5

Set within a peaceful rural setting in Stragglethorpe, this beautifully restored Grade II listed character home is a true showstopper—brimming with charm, heritage and an undeniable “wow” factor. Dating back to 1808, the original part of the property was once the Old Dairy, and the current owner has created something genuinely special: a home where period character and high-end contemporary finishes blend seamlessly.

From the moment you arrive, the kerb appeal is immediate, and the sense of quality continues throughout. Step inside via the entrance hall and you’re drawn straight into the heart of the home—an impressive open-plan lounge/diner with a natural flow through the main living spaces. The centrepiece is a dual-aspect log burner, positioned within the original cattle feed area, creating a striking focal point and a wonderful nod to the building’s history.

The kitchen is equally breathtaking: a bespoke Symphony kitchen completed in March 2023, finished in bottle green with a blonde oak interior, antique brass-effect handles and an instant hot water Quooker tap. Integrated appliances include a Neff induction hob, Bosch dishwasher, Bosch full-size fridge, freezer, and a Miele oven, all complemented by an Amazonian-toned worktop and statement Tala hanging lights. Adjoining the kitchen is a utility room with a corner pantry, adding excellent practicality without compromising on style.

The accommodation is both spacious and versatile, with four double bedrooms and a beautifully enclosed private courtyard to the rear—creating a sheltered, low-maintenance outdoor space that feels wonderfully private. The lounge and three of the bedrooms enjoy doors opening directly onto the courtyard, making the rear of the home feel bright, connected and ideal for indoor-outdoor living.

A further standout feature is the additional reception room with an adjacent shower room, alongside the principal bedroom with its own ensuite. Positioned to the rear, this area offers excellent potential for self-contained living or an annex arrangement, perfect for multi-generational needs or guests.

The property also benefits from 16 solar panels (approximately 12 years old), with key improvements including central heating updated in January 2021, and the bathroom completed in September 2023. The owner has also allowed a £35 per square metre budget to replace the carpet in the open living area, should you wish—this will be organised during the conveyancing process and handled via solicitors.

Externally, there is a separate garage and allocated/shared residents’ parking within a small, quiet development that is shared and maintained by the residents.

This is a rare opportunity to own a home that is truly “one of one” — it needs to be seen in person to appreciate the finish, the atmosphere, and the character on offer. Contact Walters of Lincolnshire today to arrange your viewing.
