The Old Vicarage in Sleaford, Lincolnshire.

The Old Vicarage
Sleaford

This large detached former vicarage dates back over 200 years and has been sympathetically restored to its former glory. Retaining many original features including wooden shutters and regency feature fireplace, it is set in 4 acres of mature gardens and natural grounds and boasts not only a heated pool, but also a small boating lake complete with Koi carp. Set just off the A17, just out of the popular village of Heckington, made famous for its eight sailed windmill. The flat fenlands make ideal walking and cycling country, an excellent way to view the pretty surrounding landscape. Within easy driving distance are a wealth of interesting places including the old towns of Uppingham, Sleaford, Oakham and Stamford. Nearby Spalding is an attractive Dutch inspired town and centre of the flower-bulb industry where the Springfields show garden and the annual festival in May are popular attractions. Worth a visit are Belton House and Coningsby noted for its huge one-handed church clock, and also home of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. The Old Vicarage provides the ideal family holiday base to visit all this popular area has to offer. Pub &frac12; mile._Living room. Dining room with wooden floor. Drawing room with wooden floor.
