Description
Surprisingly not listed, a wealth of character is displayed with original old beams, dormer windows and sloping ceilings.
Suiting an individual, a couple or indeed a family, with excellent schools in the area, its close proximity to Grantham (5 miles) and Newark (10 miles) and easy access to the A1 and the A52, also make this a good location for a commuter, as fast trains from Grantham to London and Leeds take around an hour. Nottingham is about a half hour drive west (20 miles).

Seller Insights
Compiled by the late owner’s nephews
“Our aunt had lived here since the late 1990s and was drawn to the property by its age and
character as well as being in such a secluded quiet position yet close to the centre of the village. We believe the cottage was built in the late 18th century but it isn’t listed.”
“It was always easy to reach when we visited being so close to the A1 although it’s far enough away not to hear the traffic. Fast trains to London are also easily accessed at Grantham only five miles
away.”
“The thick walls seemed to keep the cottage warm in winter and cool in summer. It was very cosy and welcoming with the fire ablaze in the living room, and on hot days in summer, the doors would be open onto the pretty garden where we would sit and enjoy the sun and listen to all the birds.”
“Our aunt loved the house for the range of country walks available from the doorstep. As the owner of Chip (a lovely Jack Russell) she wanted to live somewhere with space and beauty, which Allington has in abundance. When she wanted to try something different she’d take a five minute drive further into the Vale of Belvoir and enjoy the range of walks available from Belvoir Castle and the scenic villages nearby.”
“The village has a fantastic open space at the playing fields. There is a great children’s playground with an obstacle course, climbing frames and multi-use sports pitch that our children have spent many a happy hour using. "
“Allington benefits from a range of popular social events, with the Allington Big Weekend, the annual cycling event, the local Morris Dancing Society with a car show, live music and more”
“It’s a really friendly village and there is a strong sense of community. The people who live here really help each other out; I’ve never lived anywhere where people cared so much about their neighbours and were ready to support them in any way they possibly could.”
