We catch up with the homeowners toget the lowdown. 14-17_Layout 1 17/07/2017 11:21 Page 1LINCOLNSHIRETODAY15HOMES at its best…aving lived at the property for sometwelve and a half years, owners John and RitaDingworth have created one of the mostbeautifully presented and relaxing homes we’ve seen in along time. Moulton is a quintessential English village with theproperties at its centre set around the village green, with abackdrop of the beautiful All Saints Church and MoultonMill - the tallest working mill in Great Britain.This house therefore epitomises country living, but withall the conveniences of modern life, cleverly wrapped intoan 18th century charismatic property. Four reception rooms, four double bedrooms, and arecently fitted out annexe with its own kitchen bedroomand bathroom, should tells you it’s a generously-proportioned property too but it’s the way this propertyoozes character that really grabs you.The drawing room is a good example of this, with itslarge double glazed window to the front and doubleglazed bay window to the rear offering open views to therear garden and allowing natural light to flood in. It’s asimilar story in the dining room which exudes opulence16 ÁHIMAGES: CAITLIN EARLE14-17_Layout 1 17/07/2017 11:21 Page 216 LINCOLNSHIRETODAYHOMESand is no doubt an excellent venue for dinner parties, aswell as family gatherings.Parquet flooring to the hallways adds to the tactile,homely feel and a door off the inner hall leads us to theproperty’s own wine cellar.This property never ceases to impress, the kitchen withits elegant craftsmen built units and concealed appliancesoffers all the mod-cons you’d expect from a house of thisstature and this room leads, conveniently, to an extremelyinviting and cosy sun room. The annexe is another great feature, which Johncreated for Rita’s mother. As John explains: “Rita’smother wanted somewhere she could enjoy some quiettime and, having sold her house, we were happy to haveher live with us. So we set to and created an annexefrom an area the previous owner, had used as a storagearea.”It took John around six months to completely ‘gut thespace’ and create a perfect living space for his mother inlaw. Somewhere that they, and she, could be proud of.“We wanted the annexe to be really comfortable,” heexplains, “but we also wanted it to reflect the character ofthe main house and Rita’s mother, like us, wasn’t one tocompromise on quality.“ “She’d say we’ll have a top of the range kitchen John, asI’ve sold my house, so might as well reinvest the money insomething I’m going to appreciate. That said, she hardlyused it but it still had to be just right.“She had a great outlook on life I must say.” Somethingthat’s evident from the sheer luxury of the fixtures andfittings not to mention the décor. Upstairs too, no expense has been spared with spaciousbedrooms featuring great views and tasteful design cuesthroughout. Asked what drew the couple to Moulton, Rita explains:“Well, actually we wanted somewhere half way betweenour daughter’s London property and our other daughter’sproperty up North.The living room is bothspacious and comfortablecreating a cozy retreat14-17_Layout 1 17/07/2017 11:21 Page 3LINCOLNSHIRETODAY17HOMES01507 462336info@riggallsremovals.co.ukwww.riggallsremovals.co.ukA Family Business ProudlyCelebrating Over 60 YearsOf Removals & Storage“It was actually our eldest daughter who spotted this, inThe Times, I think. She didn’t think we’d go for it at first,as previous properties we’ve owned have all been verymodern - but we fell in love with the charm of the housefrom the off; and the village for that matter. “We visited it three times altogether as it was sodifferent from what we have had in the past and withevery visit we spotted something else we’d like.”John adds: “And, as for the village, the fact that we havea church, post office, a traditional butcher, and a pub allon hand-what more could you ask for?“The people are great here, so genuinely warm andfriendly, which counts for a lot these days.”Rita adds: “It’s such a great location, but we’ve decidedwe have to face facts and John and I aren’t getting anyyounger. Our family is grown up now (our grandson is 23)so we’re finding ourselves zooming around the countryvisiting them and the house is admittedly a little on thelarge side for just us. So its dawned on us that we need todownsize although it’ll be hard leaving it, and our friendsin the village, but we know deep down it’s the rightdecision.” Consequently, this treasured family home has nowcome to the market and is listed with Sedge EstateAgents, in Spalding, for £799,950.

It’s a place where their imagination can run amok,where they can express themselves and shut out the worldafter school and at the weekends. And it’s the first realopportunity your little ones have to explore their ownidentity, so filling it with the right things matters. Parents are increasingly worried that their children arespending too much time glued to their smart phones andtablets. As well as robbing them of the great outdoors, allthis digital stimulation also takes away from kids gettingcreative in their own space, or spending a Saturday morningreading books or writing stories. To even try and attempt toprize your child away from their totemic smart phone ismisguided, and denying them when all their friends aresporting the latest model will only create resentment. Insteadlimit usage and leave the computer and TV out of theirbedroom in favour of a book case or writing desk. It’s all about being creative, and with vinyl stickers, wallmounts and quirky fixtures, there’s no shortage of ways ofjazzing up your little one’s bedroom. Chances are it’ll be themost fun you’ll have decorating any room in your house. Solet out your inner child and your imagination run wild.
