In a little hamlet surrounded by open fields with far-reaching views, stands a well presented, substantial, brick built barn converted into two storey accomodation. The grounds amount to around an acre and a further brick outbuilding includes a garage and open-fronted car bays. Villages nearby provide excellent education and the city of Lincoln is only about 6 miles away. EPC rating D
“Thorpe-Le-Fallows is a well-kept secret, halfway between Lincoln and Gainsborough and halfway between Sturton by Stow and Scampton – close enough for central Lincoln commuting convenience and far enough for rural peace and tranquility. It’s a small hamlet surrounded by beautiful Lincolnshire farmland which in the pre-industrial age must have been some of the most valuable and productive in the country judging by the quality of the churches that have been built”
Thorpe in the Fallows, also known as Thorpe - Le Fallows or indeed West Thorpe, is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as a larger settlement but now is a tiny hamlet surrounded by farmed fenland, around 6 miles north of the historic city of Lincoln - whose cathedral can be seen from the house - and only a couple of miles from amenities and a good primary school at Sturton by Stow.
