Any discussion surrounding Boston's most sought-after locations would inevitably include a mention of Rawsons Lane and deservedly so, given that it feels more like a country lane than one on the outskirts of our bustling market town. What makes the location of Spring Cottage in particular so special is the simply stunning un-interrupted parkland views to the rear - it's a picturesque expanse of mature trees and pastureland, which offers a real feeling of privacy - except perhaps for the occasional grazing cattle. The property itself is set back and somewhat obscured by established trees, but even glimpsed through the lovely garden it looks undeniably substantial from the road. Even so, viewers will still be pleasantly surprised by the scale of the accommodation, which is in part a reflection of the extension into the first floor by the current owners, which added two further double rooms and an additional shower room. The owners were naturally keen to update and adapt the house during their ownership to suit their own tastes, and in addition to the first floor conversion, further work included three new bathroom suites, Oak doors throughout the ground floor and redesigning the kitchen. In the latter, the sellers have succeeded in creating a spacious and comfortable family space with ample room for cooking, dining and (by way of an interconnecting 2nd lounge) relaxing in front of the incredible views over the rear garden. The main lounge and dining room and are a similarly terrific size and also enjoy views over the parkland. All five bedrooms, are doubles, two of which have an en-suite, with the master bedroom including a full bathroom suite.

Over the decades it has been extended. In the 90s at least one side was extended and in 2006 the conservatory was added on the back.""We have done a complete refurbishment throughout the property which has included new electrics, new boiler, brand new radiators, some new windows so they are now all double-glazed uPvc, fitting a new kitchen, all new contemporary bathrooms and downstairs WC, professionally refurbishing the parquet hardwood floors and fitting new carpets elsewhere, adding modern panelling to the hall and the two living rooms and refitting the utility room.""Outside, the heated swimming pool has been professionally refurbished with a brand new sand filter. It's about 11 by 6 metres and has a shallow end of about a metre and a deep end of 2.5 metres, deep enough for diving hence the diving board. The bar and entertaining area has been fantastic for poolside parties and the pool has underwater lighting so it really sets the scene at night.""Above the pumping station is a treehouse with a balcony, reached by a ladder, which is a great place for children and teenagers.""The double garage has electricity and power and a vehicle door that opens on a key fob. There's a space we have used for a gym alongside it where we have installed new windows and French doors that open into the garden.""The garden is large, not overlooked and the main section is fully enclosed so secure if you have dogs or young children. The pool area is also sectioned off for safety. There are lots of paved areas where you can sit in the sun or shade. The terrace outside the living room has a pergola covered in grapevines a white and a red. The previous owners used to make their own home-made wine! There are also two apple trees that produce a good harvest in the autumn.""It is so quiet and peaceful here and the upstairs windows have lovely far reaching views over fields. We see pheasants and muntjac deer in the garden and hear lots of birdsong. We have the convenience of only being a mile from the A16 (both of us have found it easy to commute to the office in central London driving to Peterborough to catch a direct fast train) but we never hear any traffic noise. There are only three houses on this road so the majority of passers-by are dog-walkers. It's not far to Frampton Marsh which is a beautiful bird and nature reserve which has a visitor centre and a cafe."Services: Mains gas, electricity, water and drainage; gas central heating with electric underfloor heating in both bathroomsLocal Authority: Borough of BostonCouncil Tax Band: FTenure: FreeholdEPC D Rating For more details and to contact: https://realtyww.info/houses_boston-d196963/for-sale_i69703791

Today, Skirbeck Hall is the most incredible family home and has been much loved by the current owners for almost 20 years. It has a fabulous approach around a private established green before driving through the brick pillars which lead to the property itself, and enjoys views over the St Nicholas' Church to the rear. The property offers all who visit the most wonderfully warm and comfortable welcome from the minute you step through the doors.

A Grade II Listed, 18th-century magnificent Lincolnshire estate of historic importance, privately nestled within its own parkland, forms an idyllic world of its own, yet is within easy reach of towns, cities, the east coast and Norfolk. Rich in stunning original period features and immaculately presented, this grand mansion boasts seven bedrooms flooded with natural light and is surrounded by 11 acres of grounds and parkland filled with fine mature specimen trees, sweeping lawns, and enchanting hideaways to relax. A restorative sense of calm is immediately imbued upon entering the beautifully landscaped setting, a feeling that continues throughout the entire property.Spectacular West Skirbeck Hall was designed in 1795 and completed in 1802 by Henry Clarke, a wealthy brewer, banker and merchant who served as Mayor of Boston in 1805 and 1816. ''Reflecting on my twenty-five years of living here, I've never taken it for granted - West Skirbeck Park still takes my breath away every time I drive in. It is so welcoming and grand, with such impressive gardens. I have raised a family here, and more recently, it is my grandchildren who have appreciated itthey love to run around in all the space, go deer spotting, and adore playing under the huge, majestic Harry Potter-style trees.''A prominent figure, William Garfit, acquired the Hall in 1872; from 1754 The Garfit family owned 12 private banks in Lincolnshire and they were the founders of Lloyds bank. Many Garfit family portraits can be found in the National Portrait Gallery, London. "William Garfit became the MP for the area and held his political surgery in the library. He commissioned the fireplace and surrounding carved panelling depicting trees, acorns, and flowers, adding his and his wife Sarah's initials as a feature. It was painted white when I took ownership, and I personally painstakingly removed all the paint so I can vouch for the incredible intricacy of the carvings!""The Hall embraces you as you walk in. Although large with 16-foot ceilings, there is a warmth to it and a great sense of comfort and home. It is extremely sociable and has known lavish entertaining through the years being owned by so many dignitaries such as mayors and MPs. We have frequently held parties of 100 to 150 people here; the kitchen I designed to be sociable with the island in the middle adjoining the morning room so you can easily interact with everyone. With 12 pairs of French windows opening onto the encompassing terrace, the Hall is perfect for grand occasions.""Christmas is fabulous here with 12- to 14-foot-high trees and wonderful open fires. The connecting drawing room and dining room create an uninterrupted space of 17 metres length surrounded by so many floor to ceiling French windows, the light and juxtaposition of the inside and out is tremendous if it's snowing, you feel as if you're inside a giant snow globe!"The Hall is magnificently decorated and has been exceptionally well maintained. "We have used quality paints in period colours such as Farrow & Ball, Little Greene Paint Company and Zoffany with the gold a 'by Royal Appointment' brand; we restored all the original Douglas fir floors with their rich colour and grain which run throughout and all the bathrooms have been recently refurbished.""It's an incredibly well-built Hall. There's a vast wine cellar, divided into rooms, underneath the entire building with a traditional, vaulted, damp proof tunnel that extends under the York stone terrace keeping the Hall damp free. There is also a very spacious attic which we have used for storage."The aspect of each reception room provides the perfect relationship with the sun. "The sun rises through the tall morning room French windows and sets in crimson glory through the drawing room windows. That 'golden hour' of the setting sun is heavenly with the reflections of the big glowing skies on the canopy of the trees. French windows open onto a formal dining area on the south facing walled terrace outside that seats up to 16 people where you can really appreciate the evening light with a glass of wine.""The parkland is a particularly spectacular feature of the Hall. Planted in 1795, Sir Joseph Banks, Royal Botanist who pioneered plant research for Kew Gardens, had a hand in acquiring rare specimen trees for the Park. Banks, who was a local man, accompanied Captain Cook on his voyages of discovery to America and Australia, bringing back rare plants and trees. As a result, the parkland has an ancient American Buckeye tree, a lovely old American Indian Bean tree and splendidly graceful, ancient Deodar Cedars; the park also had a rare American Black Oak, only three of its age in the country, one of which is in Kew Gardens.""I have enhanced the garden by landscaping certain areas in place of rather overgrown shrubberies. A Victorian ha-ha wall encompasses the south facing, formal gardens separating them from the park. I deliberately designed with Regency symmetry in mind and planted to ensure interest all year round. Much thought was given to adjoining the grounds to the parkland with plenty of seating areas enjoying magnificent, framed views with the scent of honeysuckle, roses and jasmine filling the air.'' ''Paths meander under archways between the different spaces there is a Chinese pergola, a traditional summerhouse, a Thai gazebo raised above a sunken garden and a wonderful, roofed dining space we call the alfresco pavilion where barbecues are inbuilt either side of a welcoming rustic open log fire flanked by mullioned windows, a superb place to relax amidst the garden sat in front of a blazing fire. You can wander round with friends from place to place, with a bottle of wine or two, catching the last rays of the sun and relishing the evening fragrances and then enjoy the fire pit in the sunken garden for a real outdoor experience after dark."Just recently, the Hall has been made suitable for extraordinary holiday accommodation. "We have fitted new boilers with a thermostatically controlled facility, the Hall has had a re-wire upgrade, all new bathroom fittings, all new kitchen appliances, a hardwired CCTV system with alarm system and smoke detectors connected to 24/7 security and emergency services. All bedrooms and two main reception rooms are hard wired for large, wall-mounted Smart TVs and Wi-Fi has been professionally boosted throughout. The property is now fully certificated ready for luxury accommodation.""There is so much atmosphere here whether at sunrise or sunset; it is wonderful to see the mist through the morning trees or crimson sun rays pierce through the evening foliage leaving long shadows on the grass or experience a moonlit walk in the park. Very peaceful and calming, it is such a healing place. It is so lovely to sit out on the terrace listening to the birds, catch a glimpse of the deer family under the trees or an owl, pheasant, or partridge family on the lawn it is as if you are in your own nature reserve out in the wilds, yet we are so close to civilization! Tuck into bed at night and feel like you are nestled in the treetops. The Hall and the Park are true hidden gems."LocationNestled amidst its parkland and meticulously landscaped gardens, West Skirbeck Hall enjoys a tranquil setting less than 2 miles south of the historic port and market town of Boston.
