England doesn\u2019t suffer for lack of old buildings\u2014there are 51 volumes in the series\u2014but this manor still stands out. According to the guide on Lincolnshire, a county known for its rural beauty, \u201cFew houses in the country fill one with such delight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When the new owners bought the historic property, they were intent on turning it into a warm family home without losing the grand proportions\u2014including in the kitchen. To this end, they kept the oversized Gothic windows, the weathered limestone floors, an original fireplace, and the space\u2019s dramatic loftiness. Then they tapped deVOL to supply them with their Classic English Kitchen cabinets. The result is a large, airy space that manages to be both fit for family life and respectful of its architectural pedigree.<\/p>\n<p>Have a look.
