This charming red-brick cottage provides a peaceful countryside escape in the heart of rural Lincolnshire. You’ll be tucked beside the pretty Louth Canal in the quiet hamlet of Austen Fen, 6.5 miles from the historic market town of Louth. The cottage is surrounded by scenic walking and cycling trails, with the coast just 4 miles away. You can partake in water sports like wakeboarding and jet skiing at the nearby sailing club (5.5 miles), or take a vintage train ride on the Lincolnshire Wolds Railway (8 miles).

As the highest point between Yorkshire and Kent, the Wolds offer spectacular views stretching as far as Lincoln Cathedral to the west, the sea to the east, and the Fens to the south. Stargazing is also a treat around here, and you'll find a telescope in the cottage.
