< PreviousBransby Horses’ welfare hotline sees concerning rise in calls Bransby Horses has seen a concerning increase in calls to their welfare hotline, from horse owners struggling to afford the upkeep of their animals. Last year they received 108 calls from members of the public looking for advice on what to do if they could no longer keep their horse and received 22 direct requests to take ownership of their equine. So far this year, the equine welfare charity has already received 25 direct requests to take ownership of horses from private homes – more than the whole of 2021. Half of them stated this was due to financial reasons. Welfare manager, Rachel Jenkinson, said: “We urge any owner who is concerned about their horse or struggling financially, to get in touch with us so we can help before it becomes a problem. Although we may not be able to assist with taking over ownership, we can offer advice and support to ensure the best outcome for everyone.” According to the Institute for Government’s most recent research on ‘the cost of living crisis’, a combination of high inflation outstripping wage increases and upcoming tax increases are squeezing incomes for many households. When dealing with a potential welfare issue, the charity’s first priority is to engage and work with owners to resolve issues through advice, support and education. Their role is never to judge people’s circumstances. To report a welfare concern or for advice and support call the charity in confidence on 01427 787369. This phone line operates Monday to Friday, 8.30 am – 4.30 pm. Your intervention could make all the difference. latest news © stock.adobe.com/alexanderuhrin Printing|Copying|Graphic Design LOGOS | BRANDING | BUSINESS STATIONERY FLYERS & POSTERS | BROCHURES | NEWSLETTERS A0 COPYING & SCANNING | OS MAPPING CAD & PLAN PRINTING | PRINT FINISHING High Quality Print & Design in Lincolnshire N 01522 546118 E sales@lincolncopycentre.co.uk www.lincolncopycentre.co.uk 06-10.qxp_Layout 1 19/04/2022 13:56 Page 5R W OODLAND Coming Soon Development of 35 beautifully presented three, four and five bedroom homes in a pleasant rural location close to local amenities and within easy reach of Peterborough and Stamford.

Placed just off the famous Viking Way, in Bracebridge Heath, it was the location of the property that proved to be the main draw for its owners, Mr and Mrs Wilkinson, who moved into the abode in 2014 and started their family there, welcoming two boys, now three and five. Mr Wilkinson said: “The attraction for these sorts of locations is high to this day. While within 30 seconds you’re on the cliff edges, you can also be in the centre of Lincoln within a five-minute 14 Á 12-17.qxp_Layout 1 19/04/2022 13:58 Page 214 LINCOLNSHIRE TODAY HOMES Whether you are looking for classic, traditional style or contemporary designs including the latest in media wall electric fires, we are sure to have something to suit.

Additionally the home is on a private lane, owned and maintained by the local parish council - it’s not a thoroughfare, and is within a lovely community.” He continued: “So many people don’t know that Red Hall Lane exists in the middle of Bracebridge Heath, so close to Lincoln, and the privacy is extraordinary. It really is a hidden gem.” Approaching the property, which is set back from the road, a gated entrance leads to a large, gravelled driveway providing plenty of off road parking and giving access to a detached double garage. This was built by the owners as part of the plethora of works they have completed at the home, including completely overhauling all of the rooms. Mr Wilkinson explained: “We converted the previous garage into a playroom, or fifth bedroom, and then erected the double garage.” Taking a look around the home, one will step into the porch, then hallway. From here the lounge can be reached - with two uPVC double glazed windows to the front elevation, a fireplace with log burner inset, laminate flooring, spotlights to the ceiling, and a radiator - as well as the dining room featuring a uPVC double glazed window to the rear elevation, laminate flooring, a radiator, and spotlights to the ceiling. Off one side of the dining room is the garden room, which can be opened up to the rear garden through double doors, while the room also connects to the kitchen, the family’s favourite room in the home. 12-17.qxp_Layout 1 19/04/2022 13:58 Page 3LINCOLNSHIRE TODAY 15 BRIGG BEDS and so to bed... 01652 651828 Princess Street | Brigg | DN20 8HG www.briggbeds.co.uk “The kitchen is very much the hub of the house for the family, but also for celebrations,” Mr Wilkinson said. “It’s a real entertaining house for us, and we host a couple of parties a year for 50 to 60 attendees, such as for bonfire night. Though the whole of the downstairs flows brilliantly for parties, the kitchen is the real focal point.” With uPVC double glazed windows to front and rear elevations, and a door to the rear elevation, the kitchen holds a tiled floor and is fitted with a range of wall, base units, and drawers with work surfaces over and tiled splash-backs. There is, in addition, a composite sink unit and drainer with mixer tap, space for a Range cooker with extractor fan over, space for an American style fridge freezer, an integral dishwasher, a central island with a range of base units with work surface over and a breakfast bar, an integral wine cooler, overhanging lighting, two radiators, and spotlights to the ceiling. The kitchen leads on to a useful utility room, WC, and the playroom. Travelling upstairs, four bedrooms can be found, as well as a bathroom with a uPVC double glazed window to the rear elevation, a tiled floor and walls, suite comprising of low-level WC, wash hand basin with drawers and 16 Á 12-17.qxp_Layout 1 19/04/2022 13:58 Page 416 LINCOLNSHIRE TODAY HOMES Email: info@burtonairconditioningltd.co.uk www.burtonairconditioningltd Call now for more information DOMESTIC INSTALLATIONS ARE NOW ZERO VAT RATED cupboards below, a bath with mains shower over, spotlights to the ceiling, extractor fan and an illuminated wall mirror. The impressive master bedroom, meanwhile, with two uPVC double glazed windows to the front elevation, two sky lights to the rear elevation, a range of fitted drawers and a radiator, has an en suite bathroom and walk in wardrobe. Outside of the abode, a secure, large, lawned frontage with a variety of shrubs provides a playing space for children and there is a further South facing garden to the rear with patio seating areas with decorative gravelled surrounds. Not overlooked from any angle, the rear garden has pure privacy all day, while the front garden, though tranquil too, remains a part of the community. Given its name, Cherry Tree House, the property also boasts a beautiful cherry tree, currently in blossom, and with the Red Arrows moving to RAF Waddington, a whole new dynamic has been added to the area, with the excitement of them flying overhead. Despite enjoying their time at the property, the family are now selling. Mr Wilkinson said: “We love what we’ve done here but we have been given an opportunity to buy our dream home, which is being built nearby.” With their new house just 200 yards away, the family’s adoration for the area is clear. Cherry Tree House is now on the market with Mundys for £550,000. 12-17.qxp_Layout 1 19/04/2022 13:58 Page 5A S LOCAL AS IT GETS!
