Vine House in Carlby dates back to before the 1700s and combines period features with modern comforts.
You could be forgiven for thinking that Vine House is something of a countryside ‘mini estate’, considering it comes with a main house, a garage with workshop, gardens, a barn and annexe and some 2,000sq ft of living space.
However, it’s in the heart of the Lincolnshire village of Carlby, some six miles from Stamford, and offers that ideal mix of privacy and space in a village setting. Vine House is listed with Fine & Country for £850,000.
The charming yellow stone property dates back to before the 1700s and original features, such as inglenook fireplaces and exposed beams, reflect its history.
Inside the main house are three bedrooms, a family bathroom and a home office. A light-filled extension features an additional bedroom and modern bathrooms.

Outside, the garden is in need of some love, but offers ample space for either a budding or experienced gardener to transform it.
The old barn opposite the house has planning permission to be made into a two bedroom cottage and the garage building also has an outline planning for a house.
