Chestnut House

Rural West Lindsey has a quieter pace than the city, though Lincoln lies only five miles away. Chestnut House stands on a country lane near Ashlin Farm Barns, within reach of a 50-acre nature reserve down the same stretch of road—good for walking and birdwatching. There's also a fishing lake on the grounds for those who want to cast a line. The setting suits families and groups wanting space without the bustle of town, but with the cathedral and castle accessible for a day trip.

The house has five bedrooms and five bathrooms, sleeping up to 10 people. Ground floor comprises an open-plan living area with a woodburner, a separate kitchen with electric cooking, and a games room. Upstairs, the bedrooms are split between kingsize doubles and zip-and-link twin beds, each with its own ensuite. Underfloor heating, WiFi, bed linen and towels are included. The kitchen is equipped for self-catering, and there's a washing machine and utility room as well.

Outside, a lawned garden with patio includes seating and a barbecue. The hot tub fits ten people and is private to the property. Parking is available for five cars, and there's an electric vehicle charging point. One well-behaved pet can stay at no extra cost. The property is non-smoking throughout.
