Location
The property sits in the heart of the sought after village of Caythorpe with its attractive stone properties, many listed buildings, which lies 9 miles (about 15 mins) north of the market town of Grantham, and 9 miles west of Sleaford. Newark-on-Trent with its cobbled market streets and castle beside the river, is about 12 miles (20 mins) to the northwest, and the historic city of Lincoln 18 miles (about half an hour) to the north.

Everything in the village is extremely close by including its excellent primary school, a well-stocked convenience store with post office, a village hall, a medical practice, two highly regarded pubs serving food which also offer a takeaway service, a large sports playing field and a popular cricket club, and for those who like walking, there are many rights of way on the rolling limestone uplands of South Lincolnshire.

A high-speed rail link to London King’s Cross (the fastest, around an hour) is from Grantham station making a door to door journey time into central London less than an hour and a half, whilst other options provide fast services to cities such as Leeds, and across to the Lincolnshire seaside at Skegness.

There is plenty to do in the area, for instance, the National Trust’s Belton House is 7 miles towards Grantham which has 1,300 acres of parkland to explore including an adventure playground. Also at Belton, there’s Belton Woods 4-star Hotel and Spa, which has two golf courses, and even nearer, Sudbrook Moor Golf Course, Elms Farm Equestrian Centre, and Ancaster Leisure for outdoor activities such as go-karting, paintballing, shooting and archery.

Seller Insights
“ We were searching for a spacious family home in Lincolnshire, and although we didn’t know this village well at first, we quickly fell in love with the period charm of the house and its picturesque village setting.”
“We have sympathetically upgraded the house, the kitchen was replaced in 2023 and we commissioned York Vale Kitchens who designed and built the bespoke, solid wood cabinets which we are delighted with. We later created a separate utility which is hugely practical space and just earlier this year we replaced and upgraded the family bathroom.”

“It is one of the older houses in the village, dating back to 1650 and the room we now use as a study was formerly the village Post Office, in fact when we moved in we had to remove the most enormous safe from what is now the utility area!”

“The house is very warm in winter as the walls are so thick, and in summer, it is lovely and cool. The walls also mean that the house is incredibly quiet and peaceful.”

“Although we are in the middle of the village, the garden is very private with its fenced and brick walls and we feel lucky to have the most beautiful roses as well as mature shrubs and trees, including an apple tree. The garden has two terraces, one directly to the rear of the house and another at the bottom by the summer house which enjoys the very last of the evening sun. We have used the summer house as a play area but it has power and light and would also make a good home office.”

“The village is so lovely. It’s still small enough to hold on to its character but it’s got everything you need within easy reach. There’s a shop, hairdresser’s, doctors’ surgery and two great pubs, a really active sports and social club with football and cricket as well as a children’s playground and there are miles and miles of countryside footpaths on our doorstep. Grantham is just 15 mins with is direct trains to London and Lincoln itself is such a pretty city and just a 30 mins drive north.”
