This hidden gem has been constantly updated and maintained, it now comprises beautifully presented accommodation with the juxtaposition of historic and contemporary features. The private drive leads you through the parkland, along a tree-lined avenue before reaching the house providing complete privacy. The main house invokes charm and character, offering a good mix of luxury family living and formal entertaining spaces as well as generous sized bedrooms.

The property includes five reception rooms filled with natural light, three of which are south facing with spectacular views across open countryside and gardens. The reception rooms include a library, drawing room (used by the present owner as an artists' studio), hall sitting room, dining room and billiards room which benefit from extensive attention to detail with highly decorative cornice and ceiling mounts and showcase feature fireplaces. There is also a snug, office, utility room and boot room. At the heart of the house is a large open plan family kitchen, dining area and orangery with skylight windows. The kitchen benefits from a four-door Aga, Miele range-oven, steam oven, plate warmer, 2 dishwashers and a drinks fridge, perfect for entertaining.

The principal bedroom benefits from an en suite bathroom, dressing room and a large balcony with south facing views. Off the principal bedroom there is a large bedroom which could be used as a study/nursery or larger dressing room. There are further well-proportioned bedrooms including three bedroom suites and 3 further bedrooms and a family bathroom. All of the bedrooms benefit from beautiful aspects either over the gardens or the church and are flooded with natural light. There is a one bedroom flat which can be found on the first floor which is in need of upgrading but would suit a nanny flat or staff accommodation. The second floor houses two cosy box rooms which could be used as additional accommodation.

Aswardby Hall is approached via an avenue of lime trees and sits in 12 acres of parkland. The house is surrounded by gardens on all sides, with landscaping and planting to the East and North designed by 6-time Chelsea Flower Show Gold medal winner and BBC Gardeners Question Time contributor, Bunny Guinness. The courtyard is landscaped with York stone and planted with yew hedging and specimen holm oak. The south terrace, with a pond and mature trees, is bounded by a ha-ha and has uninterrupted views across open countryside. The West garden has lawns surrounded by yew hedging and classical sculptures, bounded by an oriental garden and pond with woodland walk. The box-hedged walled garden to the North is planted with wildflowers and quince and almond trees. The parkland boasts a large lake and a six hole golf course which could be reinstated.


Aswardby Hall is nestled in the Lincolnshire Wolds, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and enjoys an idyllic countryside setting. The nearby market towns of Louth, Spilsby, Alford and Horncastle are easily accessible and offer a range of amenities including schools, shops and public houses.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
