Detached Stone Farmhouse in approx. 4.844 acres, nestled on the edge of the Sought After Village of Walesby in the Lincolnshire Wolds, Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and looking outward with Panoramic Views. Walesby is a small village of around 250 people, with a vibrant community running events throughout the year, which in part are arranged by the Village Hall and St Mary’s, the village church. Monthly film nights, curry nights and an annual Burns Night are all on the calendar. The Village Hall also opens its doors twice weekly doubling up as the village pub. All Saints Church is Grade I Listed, known locally and affectionately as the Ramblers Church or the Old Church. There is an annual Candlelit Service in December which draws hundreds of people and is spectacular. There are an abundance of countryside walks nearby including access on to the Viking Way which boasts breath-taking views. There is a Primary School and Community Shop in neighbouring Tealby, Secondary Schooling can be found in both Market Rasen, De Aston School or Caistor Grammar School, both within easy reach.
Once owned and run as a farm by Walter Lusby, who was also a local Stone Mason, Kestrels has many of his crafted works around this characterful home. Believing to date back to circa 1731 it has undergone many transformations and conversions including a Cow Milking Parlour, Linhay and Hayloft. It is set in a wonderfully secluded spot and was bought many decades ago by the current owners for the sense of opportunity it offered, freedom and the quality of life that it brought to them and their family. The accommodation comprises: Storm Porch, Farmhouse Kitchen/Breakfast Room, Pantry, Utility/Linhay, Inner Hall/Study Area, Living Room, Dining Room, Conservatory, Inner Lobby and Ground Floor bathroom. There is a Landing, Five Bedrooms, En-Suite plus Bathroom, Office/Second Study and Rear First Floor Hall accessed via the elevated Rear Garden. There is a possibility of an Annexe at this point.
