Stickford House, Back Lane, Stickford, Lincolnshire PE22 8EW

Stickford House enjoys an exceptional and highly private setting at the foot of the Lincolnshire Wolds, close to the picturesque village of Old Bolingbroke and the small market town of Spilsby. Approached via an impressive tree-lined sweeping driveway flanked by mature lime trees, this incredible Georgian country residence set within approximately six acres of secluded established grounds.

This beautifully well-presented property is offered with NO CHAIN and perfectly balances the elegance of Georgian architecture with the comfort and practicality necessary for modern family lifestyles. Elegant period features, including a marble tiled entrance, graceful staircase, deep coved cornicing, panelled doors and fireplaces have been carefully preserved and upgraded, while extensive improvements ensure the property is presented in superb, move-in-ready condition.

The current owners have invested significantly in the property, with high-quality sliding sash windows replacing almost all of the originals, a detached double garage added in 2023 along with a new oil-fired boiler to the main house. A new roof has been added to the annexe, with all fascias, guttering, lead hips and ridges replaced to the main roof. For the safety of pets, secure boundary fencing now encloses the entire estate, and the whole house was professionally redecorated throughout only two years ago.

The beautifully landscaped grounds offer expansive lawns, peaceful woodland walks and a picturesque lake, creating a wonderful sense of privacy and tranquillity loved by visiting friends and family. The former pool house and courtyard with kitchenette, shower room and changing rooms remains, with the future potential to reinstate the swimming pool if preferred. Completing the accommodation is a versatile two-bedroom annexe, ideal for multi-generational living or guest accommodation.

Combining Georgian character, exceptional presentation and a truly idyllic setting, Stickford House offers a rare opportunity to acquire one of the area’s finest country homes, with the added benefit in that despite its age remains un-listed.
