Castlethorpe, Brigg

The charm of The Maltkiln is undeniable. Timeless brickwork, soft Georgian proportions and the gentle sense that every room has witnessed moments worth remembering.

A Home with a Past — and a Future to Share

The Maltkiln was built in the early 1700s by a Quaker named Naimby, at a time when Castlethorpe was a thriving agricultural settlement shaped by its manor house, farms and workers’ cottages.

By the 1800s, it had become home to a farmer and maltster, who supplied malt to the local brewery using barley dried in the loft. The original loading door can still be seen in the south gable today: one small reminder of the life this house has known.

Where Character Meets Comfort

Inside, more than 300 years of history sit comfortably alongside the needs of modern family life.

Natural light filters through sash windows, beautiful fireplaces bring warmth through the cooler months, and each room unfolds with an easy sense of purpose. There are places to gather, spaces in which to work or unwind, and the practical details that make everyday life easier, including a pantry and generous storage.

At the heart of the home is the welcoming kitchen and connected sunroom. Warm and sociable, it is a place for everyday meals, conversation and views across the garden, with a glazed roof that opens the room to the sky above.

The sitting rooms provide more peaceful places to retreat, while the dining room feels made for celebrations and long, unhurried evenings around the table.

Upstairs are four beautifully proportioned bedrooms, divided between the Gallery Wing and the Garden Wing. Each enjoys its own outlook across the gardens or surrounding landscape, while the bathrooms continue the feeling of calm found throughout the house.

Above, the generous loft offers further potential for anyone wishing to leave their own mark, subject to the necessary consents.

A Garden for All Seasons

To the rear, the established walled garden extends to around one third of an acre, with open countryside beyond.

It is easy to understand why the current owners speak of it with such affection. This is a garden for slow mornings, family life and lingering summer evenings, a place that has quietly supported every season and every chapter of life here.

Beyond the gates, there is generous parking together with a beautifully crafted oak-framed garage and an electric vehicle charging point.

A Home to Grow Into

The Maltkiln adapts beautifully to the way people live.

There is room to host, to work from home, to welcome guests and to find somewhere quiet when the day calls for it. Its scale is generous, but it never loses its warmth.

Above all, there is a feeling here that cannot be manufactured.

The sense that you are not simply buying a house.

You are becoming part of its story.
