Seller insights


"We’ve absolutely loved living here. The house was designed especially for us 35 years ago. It’s an ideal family home and thanks to the self-contained bungalow, the property offers real flexibility."

"It’s a fantastic house for entertaining. The layout flows from the kitchen into the breakfast room and then through to the dining room and onto the lounge, which is an impressively large space. The whole house feels so light and airy. Our architect included high ceilings and big windows in the original designs, so every room feels spacious and full of natural light."

“The adjoining bungalow could be used for a variety of purposes, including for extended family, perhaps elderly family members, or as a holiday let.”

"The rear garden faces south, so it gets sunshine for much of the day. Over the years, we’ve planted a wide range of flowering plants, like a weeping cherry, clematis, climbing roses and honeysuckle. There’s colour from early spring right through to the end of summer. We also have several fruit trees, which produce the most delicious Bramley apples, damsons and plums!"

"It’s incredibly peaceful here. We’re tucked away down a quiet cul-de-sac with no through traffic, so there’s a real sense of privacy. From upstairs, you can look out over open fields, see horses grazing and even spot the church spire in the distance. It’s an idyllic setting."

"The village has a great community spirit. There’s a school, a church, a local pub, a shop, and lots of clubs – whether you’re into walking, crafting or reading. We share a village hall with Hougham, and there are regular events like Christmas and summer fairs, coffee mornings, and even picnics on the nearby field."

"You’ll find some beautiful walks nearby – including one along the river at the end of the lane. There’s an excellent artisan bakery and a traditional butcher’s shop in Gelston, and our village shop stocks some of their produce. It’s also a real treat to take a short drive along the quiet country roads and enjoy a relaxing afternoon or evening in a neighbouring village pub in Hough-on-the-Hill, Caythorpe, Long Bennington or Wilsford."

"Despite the rural setting, the village is really well connected. Newark and Grantham are both within easy reach by car. From Grantham, you can catch a direct train to Kings Cross and be in central London in just over an hour."

"There’s so much to explore nearby. We’re close to Belton House, Woolsthorpe Manor and Belvoir Castle, which are all lovely for day trips."

"The schools in this area are excellent, including the popular village primary and grammar schools in Grantham.”• Impressive, detached family home in a sought-after village location.
