This unique home was a bakery in the 1950s but it was converted by the host's parents, who both worked at the Lincoln School of Art. As well as being a day job, they also had a strong interest in artistic endeavours and they filled the interior with hand-crafted ceramics, fabrics and paintings. Today, much of their collection remains and it lends the feel of part-museum, part-period home — especially with the hardwood floors and wood-burning fireplace. The large garden is equally special too, with a pond full of frogs and plenty of lawn space on which to lie back with a book borrowed from the packed shelves in the dining room. When you fancy exploring your surroundings, the city of Lincoln is thirteen minutes away in the car, while the Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty can be reached in just over twenty. Closer to home, there's a pub two minutes' walk around the corner.

About Lincolnshire
From its low-rolling Wolds to pancake-flat Fens and wild beaches to pretty market towns, Lincolnshire is a county of contrasts. The boundless countryside is crisscrossed with waymarked trails, where wildflower meadows transition to ancient woodland and deserted medieval villages. Follow the River Witham through Fiskerton Fen’s thriving wetlands into the city of Lincoln, famed for its castle built by William the Conqueror, Christmas Market and aptly named Steep Hill—the fourth...
