A family home with sweeping countryside views, plus plenty of heritage as a former hunting lodge in the 19th century, has been listed on the housing market for more than £1 million.

The property is located in the small village of Baumber, around four miles outside of Horncastle, and has been listed by estate agents Purplebricks at a guide price in the region of £1.2 million. See the full listing here.

For that price you get a stunning five-bedroom private countryside family home, with far reaching views, a range of outbuildings, plus walled gardens and grounds spread across more than four acres.

The Limes was built as a hunting lodge in 1870, and has been updated to support modern living aspects, while also retaining vintage Victorian features – including high ceilings and large window space.

Versatile rooms mean the ground floor dining room can also be a sixth bedroom, the cloakroom could be a music room, and the large kitchen/family room offers more than enough space for entertaining guests.

Let’s take a closer look:
