Thesurrounding area provides all the amenities onemight instantly need including a pub, post officeand shop, with other necessities such as adoctor’s surgery, and numerous popular schools,available nearby in Ancaster - a mere 1 mile away.As an older property, built in 1871 out ofmellow Ancaster stone, one might be concernedof its condition - but worry not. Paul has madesure that ‘The Old Rectory’ has been renovatedwith care over the years and has paid closeattention to detail so it retains its classic Victorianfeatures.Stepping up to entrance, one is greeted by aportico with carved stone pillars and a carveddoor – certainly a grand entrance. Moving inside,on the ground floor, there is a delightful libraryone could easily sit in leisurely for hours. It isdecorated in warm tones with a part mosaic tiledfloor and hosts a range of antique library shelvesand cupboards, a fireplace and cast radiator.17 ÁThis month’s readers home is astunning, spacious Victorianhome that has been kept pristinethrough caring restoration work.Though it is a perfect piece ofhistory the house is also the idealplace to relax or have a party,whether it be in the pool or thecoach house.A true classic14-21.qxp_Layout 1 21/05/2018 15:21 Page 1LINCOLNSHIRETODAY15HOMES14-21.qxp_Layout 1 21/05/2018 15:22 Page 214-21.qxp_Layout 1 21/05/2018 15:22 Page 3LINCOLNSHIRETODAY17HOMESThe mosaic tiles continue through the inner hallwhich features a strong natural oak staircase framing abeaming skylight.The ground floor also hosts the drawing room, whichis bathed in natural light from its floor to ceilingwindows.

Paul alsonotes that it would be possible to createa more open plan kitchen, if so desired,by incorporating the breakfast room.Off of the kitchen, there is a highlyuseful utility room with washing machine,tumble dryer and sink, and an originalwalk in pantry with slate cold shelves andglazed bricks. There is also a cellar off ofthe kitchen, comprised of three roomswith a vaulted ceiling.Upstairs, on the first floor, there are 5bedrooms, including the master, two ofwhich contain fireplaces for those coolernights. The bedrooms provide delightfulviews, one of which overlooks theChurchyard, and another looks towardsMain Street which is ideal for peoplewatching. The master bedroom is, asanticipated, the most serene bedroom inthe home. It features a wide bay window,marble fireplace, its own dressing roomwith a box bay window, built in Georgianmahogany wardrobes, and an ensuitebathroom with a deep roll-top cast ironbath and polished hardwood flooring.The family bathroom is also on thisfloor and holds a deep panelled bathand a vanity unit with a classic marbletop. Up one more level are the final twobedrooms.While one might be, rightly, blownaway by the extensive inside of thehouse, it is the outside where thesurprises are.The home sits in 1.5 wonderful acres oflandscaped grounds which includes agenerous garage for several vehicles anda gravelled driveway with electric irongates. At the rear of the home is acourtyard with a large heated swimmingpool, which Paul says “the kids live in inthe summer”. The pool is overlooked byan orangery with raised stone planter forfig and vine. The courtyard provides arelaxing Mediterranean feel and isperfect for family fun, with a slidecurrently poised and ready.
