Girton is a small and genuinely unspoilt village, the focal point of which is the tiny stone built St Cecilia Church. Narrow lanes with quaint cottages form the village scenery and Chester Cottage is located at the end of West Lane adjacent to open countryside. The village is approximately eight miles north of Newark. A short riverside walk leads to Besthorpe with the well known Lord Nelson country pub and restaurant. There are excellent amenities at Collingham which is a large village two miles to the south. Here, there is a Co-operative Store, Spar shop, medical centre, pharmacy, dentist, newsagents, family butchers and a good primary school. There are bus services from Gainsborough Road.

This traditionally built house has brick elevations and a tiled roof. There are dark stained UPVC double glazed windows throughout. Central heating is oil fired.

Nature conservation and wildlife surrounds the tiny village of Girton and only on comparatively rare occasions does property become available in this locality. It is an ideal location for commuting to Lincoln and Nottingham.
