Somerton Castle and outbuildings, Castle Lane, Boothby Graffoe - North Kesteven
Early C14 castle with C17 farmhouse and later outbuildings. The extensive property had fallen into disrepair and the farm buildings were largely redundant. A new owner is undertaking a major repair and conversion project. This has been informed by thorough surveys and archaeological investigations, and has been advised by the Local Planning Authority and Historic England. The repair and refurbishment of the house has been completed. Repairs and conversion of the ruined northeast and southwest towers and other buildings are nearly complete.
