A charming and historical former farmhouse.
Lincoln Farmhouse is a landmark property on the High Street in Standlake. Listed grade II it dates from the 15th century with later additions. It was originally an open hall house and 16th century coins were found concealed in the walls possibly from when the first floor was added. The property has immense character with inglenook fireplace, flagstone flooring, exposed beams and an early stone mullioned window with leaded lights. By the 16th century the farm was in the ownership of Lincoln College and was let to Dr Walter Baylie who was one of Queen Elizabeth's physicans.
The ground floor flows well with the principal reception rooms to the front of the house. The kitchen, with utility room off, is situated to the rear with an island unit and a 5-oven electric Aga incorporating a companion with ceramic hob. The generous west facing conservatory is a lovely room, ideal for entertaining, enjoying views across the attractive walled garden. On the first floor are four bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The gated entrance opens on to a gravelled drive leading to the double garage and attached one bedroomed annexe. The attractive west facing gardens are beautifully presented with wide herbaceous borders, with flood lighting, set around a lawn. At the end is a substantial workshop, raised vegetable beds, garden shed and a greenhouse.
