Lodge Lawn is a substantial five-double-bedroom family house in the heart of historic Fotheringhay, arranged over two principal floors with a separate ground-floor suite ideal for guests or dependent relatives. The house dates from the mid‑1800s and has been extended; its stone-flagged hall, large reception rooms and a generous live-in kitchen with Aga form the sociable centre of the home. A self-contained annex with lobby, bed/sitting room and shower room offers useful independent accommodation or home-studio potential.
The property sits on a very large, beautifully stocked wrap‑around garden with sheltered south courtyard, west-facing lawn, terrace and conservatory — excellent for family life and entertaining. Gated gravel drive, ample parking and a stone garage provide easy vehicle access; countryside and valley views frame many rooms. The village location is highly regarded, between Oundle and Stamford, with good schools nearby and relatively direct rail access from Peterborough.
Buyers should note several practical points: the house is in a Conservation Area and was constructed before 1900 from stone with assumed uninsulated walls; some historic fabric and services will require ongoing maintenance. Heating is LPG-fired boiler with radiators; drainage is private. EPC band E and Council Tax Band G reflect higher running and ownership costs. These factors mean the house suits purchasers wanting a character home who are prepared for the typical upkeep and running costs of an older property.
Overall, Lodge Lawn is an attractive, flexible family home with significant character, mature gardens and annexed accommodation. It will appeal to families seeking space and village life, and to buyers who appreciate period detail and are comfortable managing older-house maintenance and operating costs.
