Steeped in history and rich with character, The Old Bowls Club is one of Woodhall Spa’s most distinctive homes. Originally established as the village bowls club in 1930 by Mr and Mrs Pell, and once frequented by Lord and Lady Weigall of nearby Petwood, the property has since been thoughtfully adapted to create a substantial family residence that retains the elegance of its past while offering all the comforts of modern living.

Set behind a handsome façade of red brick and render, the property extends to over 3,000 sq ft across the main house and its versatile outbuildings. A sweeping gravel driveway and established trees set the tone for what lies within, where the interiors are defined by period craftsmanship, including oak panelling, ornate plasterwork, stained glass and fine fireplaces.

The reception hall makes an immediate impression, with its extra-wide staircase and rich wood detailing, leading gracefully into the principal rooms. The drawing room is a light-filled space with a broad bay window, decorative ceiling and open fireplace, while the formal dining room exudes grandeur, ideal for entertaining beneath its panelled walls and feature fire surround. The kitchen and breakfast room forms the heart of the home, beautifully appointed with free-standing bespoke cabinetry, granite worksurfaces and exposed brickwork, complemented by a dining area with French doors opening onto the garden. A utility room and ground floor shower room add practicality.

Upstairs, a wide landing enhances the sense of scale and leads to four generously proportioned bedrooms, each with its own character and charm. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, dual aspect windows with stained glass, feature brick fireplace and decorative ceilings and plasterwork.

The family bathroom is fitted in a period style with a roll-top bath, high-level cistern and walk-in shower, while a separate WC serves the additional bedrooms.

The grounds extend the lifestyle appeal still further, with expansive lawns, mature planting and a wonderful sense of privacy. A collection of outbuildings includes a garage with loft room above, a summer house, a log cabin and additional garden stores, offering versatile options for hobbies, home working or ancillary accommodation. With its combination of scale, history and flexibility, the property is as well suited to family life as it is to entertaining.

Woodhall Spa itself is one of Lincolnshire’s most desirable villages, famed for its tree-lined avenues, independent shops, the renowned Kinema in the Woods and championship golf courses. Well regarded schools and a strong community spirit make it a highly sought-after location for families and professionals alike.

The Old Bowls Club represents a rare opportunity to own a landmark home in the very heart of Woodhall Spa – a property of distinction, history and enduring appeal.
