Set within about 2.5 acres of carefully designed grounds, The Stables is a substantial five-bedroom Victorian-style home combining period charm with modern conveniences. The layout extends to around 3,200 sq ft and includes a large oak orangery, three reception rooms, and flexible accommodation that can easily support multi‑generational living. Mature gardens, formal lawns and a large feature pond create a private, parkland setting just outside Horncastle.
Practical leisure and storage are strong points: a substantial range of oak outbuildings houses a gym with sauna and shower, a double and single garage, workshop and stores. The house retains many character details — wood‑panel doors, stone tiles, oak sash windows, wood burning stoves and exposed trusses — alongside modern touches such as remote‑operated orangery blinds and a fingerprint keyless entry system.
This is a rural property for buyers seeking space, privacy and lifestyle: ample bedrooms and reception rooms suit a growing or multi‑generational family, while the extensive grounds offer gardening, orchard and pond opportunities. Note the remote setting: broadband speeds are very slow and the property sits in a remoter hamlet location, so it’s best for those comfortable with rural living and commutes.
Buyers should also factor ongoing costs. Council tax is described as expensive and the large plot and historic fabric will require regular maintenance. Overall, The Stables offers rare scale, character and leisure facilities for a buyer prioritising space and country life rather than urban convenience.
