Elmhirst House is an elegant 1920s detached family home occupying a large plot with sweeping views across the Lincolnshire Wolds. Thoughtfully extended in the 1970s and recently renovated, the house offers generous, flexible living across 319m² (3,487 sq ft) with period detail intact — bay windows, an art-deco fireplace and an oak staircase — alongside modern energy upgrades.
The layout includes four reception rooms, a breakfast kitchen, library and garden room, plus seven first-floor bedrooms (two en-suite) and a ground-floor suite that could serve as an annexe or independent guest/work area. The property’s B-rated EPC reflects significant investment in efficiency: Samsung air-source heat pump with grant, solar panels, high insulation and low-energy lighting, while a mains gas boiler and radiators remain in place.
Outside, mature, landscaped gardens frame the home, and parking is generous with an in-and-out driveway, secondary driveway with carport, EV charger and a single garage. Horncastle provides market-town amenities, strong local schools including a top-10% grammar school within walking distance, and easy access to Lincoln and the Lincolnshire coast.
Practical points to note: the country-style kitchen retains some dated finishes and will benefit from minor updating to match the renovated rest of the house. Council tax sits at a moderate level (Band D). Overall, this is a spacious, energy-efficient family residence with annex potential and excellent rural views, best suited to buyers seeking character combined with modern running costs.
