4 Lincolnshire Boothby Hall is discretely hidden on the edge of the village of Boothby Pagnell which is in south Lincolnshire. The village has a village hall, social club and a church dating from Norman times. Boothby Pagnell has associations with Sir Isaac Newton, who is known to have spent his summers at the rectory, and there is strong claim that it was in the rectory orchard that Newton saw the famous apple fall. Grantham 6 miles north and the historic Georgian market town of Stamford 20 miles south both offer excellent shopping, cultural and entertainment facilities as well as fine restaurants. The local area has a good selection of private and state schools with primary schools in the nearby villages of Ingoldsby, Ropsley, Great Ponton & Corby Glen. Grantham itself has two excellent Grammar schools and a prep school whilst there are many noteworthy private schools within easy reach including Witham on the Hill, Oakham, Uppingham, Oundle, and the Stamford Schools. Rutland Water (20 miles) is renowned for its excellent sailing, windsurfing, trout fishing, several miles of scenic cycle tracks and has the renowned Hambleton Hall Hotel at its centre. There are a handful of golf courses in the area including Belton Park, Greetham Valley, Rutland County, North Luffenham, Rutland Water and Stoke Rochford Golf Club. The A1 is 3.2 miles away and provides quick access to the north and south. Grantham has a main line train station with direct trains to London King s Cross from 67 minutes.

5 Boothby Hall Boothby Hall is essentially a Georgian house but was originally built in the 17th Century for a Mr Thomas Harrington and was later almost entirely replaced by a manor house, which was later re-built by Lewis Vulliamy for a Mr J.Litchford in Some 17th Century work survives at the back of the house. The current owners have undertaken a significant amount of renovation and refurbishment work that is close to completion. Boothby Hall is the principal property within the village and sits at the head of a treelined drive that arrives to a wide gravelled turning area at the front of the house. The drive continues around to the stable courtyard and to a further tree-lined back drive. The house is entered via a covered gabled stone vestibule through tall panelled doors that open to an ante hall that leads to a full height reception hall. Three main doors lead off the hallway to the drawing room, dining room and to the sitting room and a further door leads to a central corridor. The principal reception rooms are typical of their period and feature tall ceilings, attractive cornicing, large sash windows, deep skirting and enjoy wonderful views over the gardens and grounds. The drawing room is of particular note offering a fantastic room for entertaining with views over two aspects with a stone fireplace to one end.

A door from the kitchen leads to a utility room and larder. To the back of the house are a study, stores and back door/ boot room. At the end of the central corridor is a family room and secondary kitchen however there are existing plans to redesign this area to create a new side entrance, downstairs loo and store room - this rear area does require finishing. The cellars are reached via a door from the central corridor and houses both wine stores and boiler room separately.

14 Norman House Within the grounds of Boothby Hall are the remains of the most important small Norman House in the country (English Heritage). The Norman building is Grade I Listed and is positioned in the garden to the west of the house. It is the oldest and most complete building of its kind in England. It was built in 1180 of Lincolnshire Limestone and has a Collyweston slate roof. The building would formally have been part of a much larger hall and what exists today would have been the chamber block complete with an undercroft for livestock and wine. The undercroft has a magnificent, stone rib vaulted ceiling. To the west of the house are the remains of a former moat and adjacent to the house is a well head with wrought-iron top which is an arcaded Norman Font. Norman House Norman House Norman House
