Set down a long tree-lined drive, The Moat House is a mid‑19th century Victorian residence offering substantial, flexible family accommodation across approximately 4,914 sq ft. The ground floor includes five reception rooms (four with feature fireplaces or wood burner) plus a farmhouse-style kitchen with AGA and a secondary kitchen/utility. Upstairs there are six double bedrooms, a dressing room and four bathrooms — the layout suits multi‑generational living with a self-contained annex.
The property sits in about 6.4 acres (sts) of formal gardens, orchard, rose garden, three interconnecting paddocks, stable yard and a large Victorian brick barn. Practical outbuildings include a double garage and a stable block, offering equestrian or hobby uses and plentiful storage or conversion potential. Viewing is essential to appreciate the house’s scale and room proportions.
This is a rural setting three miles from Bardney and around 20 minutes from Lincoln, so you get countryside privacy with reasonable access to shops, schools and mainline rail at the city. Be aware of real limitations for modern remote working: broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal only average. The house’s Victorian fabric and extensive grounds will demand ongoing maintenance and running costs; council tax is described as quite expensive.
For families or multi‑generational households seeking space, outbuildings and land, The Moat House is a rare package — substantial rooms, versatile annexe, and large paddocks — but buyers should factor in connectivity limits, upkeep and associated costs before committing to view.
