Lincolnshire The Station Masters House 
|
The Station Masters House, nestled in a dream location on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds, is exactly as the name would suggest - steeped in the character and history befitting such a title. With 4 bedrooms, two bathrooms and two lounge rooms, this high quality self-catering property accommodates 8 people in complete comfort and up to 10 with a little improvisation. The unusual layout, additions and extensions over the years make The Station Masters House deceptively spacious. With central heating throughout, a real log fire in one lounge and sliding doors onto the patio in the other, a kitchen full of all the pots, pans and utensils you could wish for in a self-catering property, the lack of home comforts will not be an issue!
