Seller insights

“I remember when I first saw the advert for Lodge Farm. My husband and I had been seeking the perfect family home for a while, and my heart leapt! The aerial photo stood out a country mile with a very decent plot size but not overly big. And it just got better and better as I learned about all of its features; secluded privacy, walled garden with every fruit and herb you can imagine, Grade II listed with lots of original features, plenty of interior space for family to stay, so beautifully presented and passionately looked after. The children had so much space to grow and be amongst nature too. I would often call out to the children to come in for tea and they were happily building dens in the woods, or cheekily overeating fruit from the walled garden!”

“The walled garden is a huge feature in itself. It’s an incredible wind deflector, so it’s always peaceful and calm in there. Then there’s the far side of the farmhouse that overlooks the fields, which is a fantastic heat trap for drying your washing and relaxing with a glass of wine. Bliss.”

“Lodge Farm had been extended to suit the previous owners, and it is such a feature. The converted barn/annexe has been a fab income for Airbnb, and the perfect stay for family who need quiet secluded space (from noisy children!)”

“My children learned to ride their bikes in the stunning courtyard. We have such incredible memories. There are other barns that we used as storage, but converting these or expanding the house further is always a wonderful potential that we loved and wanted to pursue.”

“My husband commuted to the City with work easily, with Newark being the closest station (just a 12-minute drive from Lodge Farm by car). Lincoln is my absolute favourite city, and my family and I regularly visited to enjoy its historical offerings and delicious dinners. Great at Christmas time too!”

“I trust the right family next in line will adore this home as much as we do, and the lovely previous owners before us.”
