Sutton St James, Lincolnshire
In this small village in the south Lincolnshire Fens, a 30-minute drive from Peterborough, is a new-build property sitting by a waterway, inspired by traditional agricultural barns but with an industrial edge. There’s plenty of exposed brick, dark-framed Crittall windows and a statement staircase. Despite its nod to a simpler era, it has been built to cater for a modern family, with four bedrooms, a cinema room and a games room, plus a double garage and workshop. Open house is on 10 September by appointment only. £900,000. Fine & Country, 01780 750 200
