A characterful coach house within the estate grounds of Stoke Rochford Hall

Set within the tranquil village of Stoke Rochford with its Royal connections , Bishops Coach House combines period character with the scale and flexibility of a substantial country home. At its heart is a dramatic vaulted living room, where exposed stonework and timber beams rise to an open gallery above, creating an impressive sense of volume and a striking setting for entertaining. The courtyard garden looks across a private orchard, while a separate annexe and dedicated office offer versatile accommodation for guests, extended family or working from home. Close to the historic Stoke Rochford Hall and its parkland golf course, the property enjoys a setting rich in heritage, leisure and the rolling countryside of South Lincolnshire.

The principal home provides four bedrooms and a generous collection of versatile reception spaces, suited to both everyday living and entertaining. The vaulted living room, with its extensive skylights, the generous dining room and the light-filled sunroom provide wonderful settings for entertaining, while the country-style kitchen and cosy sitting room are ideal for relaxed family life. Upstairs, the principal suite includes an en-suite bathroom and a galleried balcony overlooking the living room. Two further double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a single bedroom, currently used as a dressing room, complete the accommodation.

A separate annexe adds valuable flexibility, with its own living room, kitchenette and bathroom. It could provide independent accommodation for guests or family members, or offer potential as a holiday let, subject to any necessary consents. The property also benefits from a low-maintenance courtyard garden, a covered carport and a private gated driveway.

The reception rooms offer a pleasing variety of scale and character. The warm and inviting farmhouse-style kitchen sets the tone, with exposed stonework, beams and an inglenook fireplace housing an Aga. Shaker-style cabinetry, an electric oven and hob bring contemporary practicality, creating a considered balance of traditional character and modern convenience.

The generous dining room offers space for family meals and entertaining. It sits close to the kitchen and leads through to the sitting room, creating an easy flow between the principal spaces. Exposed beams, stonework and a feature fireplace with a wood-burning stove give the sitting room character and create an inviting place to unwind.

The double-height living room, with its vaulted ceiling and galleried office above, is a striking feature of the reception accommodation. Extensive skylights fill the space with natural light, creating an impressive setting for entertaining. The sunroom extends the living space and offers a light-filled place to relax while enjoying views across the courtyard and garden. The gallery above also provides an attractive work-from-home setting, overlooking the living room below.

Stairs from the inner hall leads to four bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom suite comprises a generous double bedroom, an en-suite bathroom and a galleried balcony overlooking the living room below. Currently arranged as a home office, this distinctive feature adds to the suite’s sense of space and architectural character. Two further double bedrooms and a single bedroom, currently used as a dressing room, are served by the family bathroom, which features a freestanding roll-top, claw-foot bath.

Adjacent to the main house, the self-contained annexe has a fitted kitchenette and bathroom. Its vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and stonework create a characterful setting, with ample space for dining, relaxing and sleeping. It could provide comfortable accommodation for visiting friends or relatives, or offer potential as a holiday let, subject to any necessary consents.
