A love of historic architecture combined with a rural location were at the very top of the current owners’ property search list when they moved to Lincolnshire. “We especially love Georgian architecture’s symmetry and proportions and Launde House is a particularly fine stone-built example which offers a real sense of space both indoors and outdoors. We immediately fell in love with its handsome facade, wonderful Victorian tiled floor in the entrance hall, and what we can only describe as a sense of calm we felt upon entering.”
“Our favourite room has to be the kitchen which we re-designed so that it now has knotted oak cabinets, Brazilian granite work surfaces, a Watson range cooker, and travertine flooring, and we’ve also extended the space with the addition of a conservatory. It’s just such a lovely warm room with great views over the garden which has always been the beating heart of this home, and where we spend most of our time.”
“The secluded walled garden is also very special. As it’s large, we decided to create a variety of ‘rooms’ or separate areas in the garden with a range of planting including mature trees, shrubs, herbaceous borders, fruit trees, and a vegetable garden. We love entertaining outdoors in the summer, the children had plenty of space to play, and it’s also a really peaceful place to simply relax and enjoy the local wildlife and garden birds.”
“With hectic working lives and a growing family, Launde House has always been a wonderfully calm and peaceful sanctuary where we can relax and unwind. Although we’ve lived here for twenty years, it still somehow feels as if we’re on holiday! It’s been a wonderful family home in which to bring up our children and Ancaster is an ideal location as it’s a small, quiet village with a real sense of community surrounded by beautiful countryside, including three nature reserves which are home to a variety of wildlife including buzzards, kites, owls, and deer. We’re also lucky to have a good range of local amenities and be within easy reach of nearby market towns and the wonderful city of Lincoln.”
“We’ll be very sad to leave but, as our children have now grown up, it’s time for us to move on and for this lovely house to once again become the family home it deserves to be.”
The conservation village of Ancaster, founded upon the Roman road running through its heart, is surrounded by beautiful Lincolnshire countryside with a wealth of walking and cycling routes. The village has a post office, butchers, barber shop, Co-Op, gp surgery, thriving village hall, sports and social club, playing fields, a church and a direct rail link to Grantham and the east coast. A more comprehensive range of shopping, eating, and cultural amenities can be found in the nearby market towns of Sleaford (6 miles), Grantham (8 miles), and Newark (17 miles) and in the historic cathedral city of Lincoln (19 miles).
The magnificent National Trust owned Georgian country estate of Belton House is within easy reach (6 miles), as is Rutland Water (30 miles), and the coastline along the Wash (31 miles).
The village boasts a nursery and primary school (ofsted rated ‘Good’), whilst excellent grammar schools can be found in both Sleaford and Grantham and independent education at either Lincoln, Oakham (26 miles), or Stamford (27 miles).
