To appreciate all that Roughton Moor encapsulates, you have to see it in all its splendor. The cottage is made from the traditionally Lincolnshire mud and stud creation, which uses timber framework made from oak, to ensure the building is stable as well as visually outstanding.All of this can be seen at Roughton Moor, standing with many of its original features.

The thatched cottage also has an extension, which fits in perfectly to the older part of the building, and makes the property even more majestic. The extension, which was built around 25 years ago, was added to increase the amount of living space.

Roughton Moor was last home to the Averson family, who lived here for eleven years. It was home to their family who were extremely privileged to live in such a building that has immense character and charm.

Speaking to Jane Averson, she explains that the home is perfect for any family, with many adventures to be had on the grounds, and even around them. The house itself is situated in the picturesque location of Woodhall Spa.

Roughton Moor sits on the outskirts of Woodhall Spa, and has an incredible amount of land for children to play within, where they can take full advantage of the property’s five acres.

“It really is a place for children as there is so much space. Children can ride quad bikes, play in the tennis courts, and let their imagination go wild.” says Jane Averson.

On approaching the cottage you are greeted by a long gravel driveway flanked by stunning trees with a vast lawn surrounding the entire area.

On the grounds you will find a thatched gazebo, tennis courts, and a pond its own island and bridge. There are also kennels, stables, barn, and three garages with electric doors. There is also a huge formal garden which is neatly manicured, along with a kitchen garden.
