The Sir Peter Scott Lighthouse, located just outside Sutton Bridge in Lincolnshire, offers a unique holiday experience for families, friends, and wildlife enthusiasts. This converted lighthouse, built in 1830, boasts elevated views of the River Nene and the surrounding countryside, making it a picturesque retreat. The property is situated within the most important wetland site in the UK, providing an exceptional opportunity for birdwatching, particularly during the winter months when migrating wild geese are prevalent. With its rich history and character, the lighthouse serves as a remarkable setting for those seeking inspiration from nature and art.
This spacious accommodation can comfortably sleep up to eight guests across four bedrooms, making it ideal for larger groups. The ground floor features a large entrance hall, a well-equipped kitchen with a snug area, a quirky circular dining room, and a bright sitting room/studio with original lighthouse walls and a cozy woodburner. Guests can enjoy the enclosed garden through patio doors, perfect for summer evenings. The layout includes two bedrooms on the ground floor, with a unique Narnia-style door leading to a game’s room/studio, which offers stunning views and serves as a social hub for holiday activities.
On the lower ground floor, guests will find a king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room, while the upper levels include a twin room and a single room, both rich in history as they were once used by Sir Peter Scott himself. The light gallery at the top of the lighthouse provides breathtaking views, further enhancing the charm of this historic property. The grounds extend over half an acre and include private parking for four cars, ensuring convenience for all visitors.
The surrounding area offers a wealth of outdoor activities and attractions, including the Sir Peter Scott Walk, which provides a scenic 10-mile riverside route. Nearby, visitors can explore Sutton Bridge for local pubs and shops, or venture to the historic port town of King's Lynn for cultural experiences. The Wash National Nature Reserve, encompassing the lighthouse, is the largest reserve in England, attracting thousands of birds year-round.
