Beams & Bricks

Beams & Bricks: Lincolnshire

On the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds, this renovated barn is a cosy hideaway in the countryside. There are a handful of village pubs within fifteen minutes’ drive and the bigger town of Horncastle is a ten-minute drive away for the big shop. Inside, its higglety-pigglety layout of wood beams and old barn stairs leading up to the hayloft turned “snug” – the ideal spot to work remotely. Embrace the bucolic surroundings with a family board game night or stick on a DVD from the collection and enjoy the open living area. The charming walled garden is enclosed, so pets can have a blast here too.

Home truths:
*In a remote location, a ten-minute drive from the nearest supermarket, having a car is recommended and there is private parking
*The garden is fenced in and your host welcomes pets, just let them know beforehand
*For those working remotely, there is a mezzanine "snug" above the living room with a sofa and laptop-friendly desk
*Guests here have access to a shared tennis court, but you'll need to provide your own rackets and balls
*Apart from the mezzanine snug, this home is all on the ground floor so may suit those with limited mobility
*You'll have your own private entrance here
