The Property
Sowerbys are delighted to present Newton House, an enchanting Grade II listed Georgian farmhouse, steeped in history and embraced by 4.65 acres (STMS) of magical grounds in the peaceful village of Newton-in-the-Isle. Dating from 1807 and once the heartbeat of the village’s agricultural past, this elegant home has been sensitively adapted and restored to offer a rare blend of period grace and modern family living.
From the moment you arrive, Newton House feels like a sanctuary. A tree-lined approach gives way to formal lawns and a picturesque pond that glistens under the morning sun – a view best enjoyed from the open front door, where the gentle sound of birdsong sets the tone for the day.
Inside, the layout flows with an ease that invites both quiet contemplation and grand entertaining. The welcoming reception hall, complete with original staircase, leads to a series of beautifully proportioned reception rooms: a stately drawing room, a charming dining room, and a serene study. At the rear, the main ‘hub of the home’ opens up – a generous open-plan kitchen and breakfast room, warmed by oak floors and natural light, links effortlessly to a family room with a log-burner and through to a bespoke hardwood conservatory. These spaces spill naturally out into the garden, making them perfect for gatherings that last from morning coffee to candlelit evenings.
Upstairs, five bedrooms offer tranquil retreats, each with their own outlook across the grounds. The principal suite, with its spacious dressing area and elegant en-suite, is a haven of peace, framed by views over the orchard and paddocks beyond. A large family bathroom completes the upper floor, offering a separate shower and bath to meet the needs of a busy household.
Externally
Step outside and the lifestyle possibilities unfold in every direction. A walled swimming pool area promises lazy summer days, while the orchard and woodland paths invite rambling adventures. There’s a walled boccia court for friendly games and open paddocks for equestrian or smallholding dreams. The range of outbuildings – including a substantial barn, coach house and entertainment space – all benefit from planning consent, allowing for significant further development to suit a variety of needs, whether multi-generational living, guest accommodation or creative business use.
The surrounding area is rich in history and community spirit. Just a short drive away, the Georgian market towns of Wisbech and King’s Lynn offer a range of cultural and everyday amenities, while Peterborough’s station links you to London in under an hour. Nearby gems like Peckover House, with its fascinating heritage and gardens, offer peaceful days out steeped in local charm.
Since 2018, Newton House has been loved as a family home – cherished for its tranquillity, generous space and the deep harmony between house and garden. It is a place that quietly impresses, welcoming all who visit with warmth and timeless elegance.
