Seller InsightThis impressive family home, standing on a large acreage of land, was originally a farmhouse built in the mid 1700s. Purchased by Nigel and Carol just over five years ago, it is now a comfortable and spacious family home and a reflection of their respect for the history of the property when

the vast restoration project was undertaken by them.

It sits on the edge of the bustling town of Epworth, which contains a host of outstanding facilities, including independent butchers and bakers. There is a comprehensive choice of excellent schools, together with access to gyms and other many recreational facilities. The location is also conveniently close to major roads and motorways, rail links and airports. Major towns and cities such as York, Leeds and Lincoln are all within easy reach.

“In our brief to the professional craftsmen and builders who renovated the property on our behalf, we ensured that the house would retain its unique character, but also offer an ideal layout for comfort and contemporary living and make the most of its surrounding landscape,” say Nigel and Carol.

“A huge benefit for the project was the adjacent barn, which was already renovated to a high standard by the architect that owned the property pervious to us, and melds in beautifully with the main house. This has provided an exceptional two bedroom, self-contained property for a family member, which has been ideal for us as a whole. However, its potential is enormous, especially for home working for example.”

“The accommodation is highly versatile, with several well-proportioned rooms. Our favourite is definitely the bright and sunny kitchen which is contemporary in its design, but has a traditional farmhouse atmosphere and, with the equally sunny breakfast room, we do spend much of our time in here. In our design stipulation, we ensured we kept the pantry; much envied by many friends.”

“Two of the reception rooms have fireplaces featuring wood burning stoves, and we also have a separate dining room. This is very much a family house and family gatherings here are most enjoyable, particularly at Christmas as there is plenty of space for chatter, or for quiet relaxation.”

“The house itself is embraced by the garden, which has a lovely open layout and the views continue on to open fields. The grounds are ideal whether it be for relaxing, social times with friends and family with children running freely, playing cricket or football, or building dens, and there have been several parties when bouncy castles have been the main attraction.”

“We do feel a sense of accomplishment in achieving our goal to create a special family home and to give a new life to what had been a somewhat neglected property. We have been very happy whilst living here and will take away just happy memories.”*


Four and a half years of dedication and work have resulted in the total refurbishment of this former farm workers cottage into a stunning four bedroom detached family home within approximately two acres of landscaped grounds together with a superb two bedroom detached annex.

Sympathetic to its 1736 origins the current owners have skilfully enhanced the period details with contemporary fittings to create a home of subtle elegance and intimate charm. The inclusion of cast iron stoves provide traditional focal points to the principal reception rooms and contrast with the modern kitchen and stylish, crisp bathrooms. The generous accommodation caters for most of the needs of modern family life: the main living room is a sophisticated retreat, the dining room is ideal for formal celebrations and the breakfast room has become a superb family room for relaxed socialising.

In addition to the detached gym/office there is a stunning detached two bedroom annex in which the mezzanine bedroom affords dramatic views over the beamed and vaulted lounge. Set back beyond an extensive reception area and double garage this stunning, white washed home wears its history lightly and welcomes at any time. The approximately two acre grounds with covered hot tub and bar area are ideal for al fresco entertaining and boisterous family games. It is truly a home for all seasons.
