One of four Grade II listed buildings in the attractive hamlet of Cawthorpe, just north of Bourne, it stands on a no through road that leads to Bourne Woods overlooking south Lincoln- shire’s open fields. Featuring overhead beams, fireplaces, stone and timber floors, sash win- dows and original internal shutters, it is full of character and has been sympathetically modernised to provide a charming, comfortable family home. The south facing frontage contains two generously sized recep- tion rooms with high ceilings on the ground floor – a dining and a sitting room - either side of the main central staircase that rises from a quarry tiled entrance. The dual aspect dining room is a blend of rusticity and grandeur with its open fireplace with Carrara marble surround within an exposed stone wall, the high beamed ceiling, the stripped floorboards, panelled windows and shutters and fitted sideboard.

The spacious farmhouse kitchen has been fitted with contemporary units but still retains old charm with stone flooring, space in the middle for a large table, the old cottage door opening from the courtyard and another onto the rear terrace, and a range-style cooker sitting under an exposed brick arch in the chimney breast. The modern base-level units incorporate a mix of drawers and cupboards topped with either timber or quartz providing plenty of worktop space.
