Cawthorpe Farm is a traditional, yellow stone farmhouse dating back to the mid-eighteenth century with outbuildings in old red brick, all under terracotta pantiled rooves. 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 sitting room features an inglenook fireplace of old stone and brick supported by a hefty beam which accommodates a log-burning stove. Also with old stripped floorboards underfoot, the room has painted match-board panelling to dado height.

To the rear, creating an L-shaped footprint, the kitchen, snug, study and utility room are reached up three stone steps, all are dual aspect, so beautifully flooded with light, giving lovely views of the rear courtyard on the eastern side, and the garden to the west.

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. The plethora of ceiling beams have been painted white along with the rest of the kitchen enhancing the feeling of light and airiness in the room. A door in one corner leads to the back stairs, this one taking you into the first rear bedroom. On the other side of the kitchen, doors lead to a ing machine and tumble dryer. Moving through to the back of the house from the downstairs shower and lavatory on one side, and also landing you find bedrooms three and four both with to a carpeted snug, which could make an ideal play- The four carpeted bedrooms are all excellent sizes. vaulted ceilings and full of light - bedroom three has room for young children.

Outside, the property sits within mature and delightful grounds. It is well set back from the road with mature trees and a lawned and landscaped garden to the front and to the western side. A very spacious gravel drive sweeps through an entrance gate between curved stone walling, and provides a huge area for parking both in front of the separate stable block, and to the back where you find an extensive courtyard area, with fields beyond.

The location of Cawthorpe Farm is excellent. Its quiet, rural aspect, the proximity to Bourne Woods for dog walking as well as for horse riding – there are lots of bridle paths direct from house, but also the closeness to local facilities in Bourne, as well as Stamford, make it a perfect spot.
