The sought after, ‘cliff edge’ village of Caythorpe lies 10 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 16 miles (30 mins) to the north.The heart of the village is a conservation area which contains some beautiful stone properties, many of them listed buildings. The property sits just outside this with all of the village amenities within an easy walk; it has an excellent primary school, a well-stocked convenience store with post office, a village hall, a very good 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 exploring, 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 are good road links with the A17 nearby and the A1 about 15 minutes.There is plenty to do in the area; Belton House, owned by the National Trust is 7 miles towards Grantham and has 1300 acres of parkland to explore including an adventure playground. Belton Woods 4-star Hotel and Spa is adjacent to Belton House and has two golf courses. Sudbrook Moor Golf Course, Elms Farm Equestrian Centre, and Ancaster Leisure for outdoor activities such as go-karting, paintballing, shooting and archery are all within a short drive.Schools
Caythorpe has its own primary school and a nearby secondary school, Sir William Robertson Academy in Welbourn, both rated Good by Ofsted. Further excellent secondary schools are at Grantham and Sleaford; Grantham has The King’s School (for boys) and Kesteven and Grantham Girls’ School both extremely highly regarded state grammar schools rated Outstanding by Ofsted. Sleaford also has sought after grammar schools, Carre’s Grammar School, and Kesteven & Sleaford High School (for Girls), as well as St. George’s Academy, all rated Good by Ofsted. There are also exceptional independent schools in Grantham, Newark and Lincoln.Seller Insights“We have lived here for almost twenty years; it was built in 2003 and we bought it two years later from the first owner. It has proved to be the most wonderful family home for all sorts of reasons.”“A light, airy and spacious house, it has a lovely flow between rooms, especially enjoyed by young children who like to chase round a circuit downstairs! A number of double doors connect the reception rooms which, when open, enhance the feeling of space flooded with natural light, and the French doors onto the garden make it particularly special in summer.”“There is a vast amount of storage in the house and above the garage. The house has been extremely well planned in its design with built-in wardrobes and en suites creating sound-proofing between bedrooms.” “The enclosed garden was re-landscaped about seven years ago; it’s deliberately relatively low maintenance with a raised bed along the back but largely lawn and paved areas. Although west facing it certainly captures the sun, is not overlooked and ideal for relaxing and eating outside in the summer.”“The location is extremely quiet - thankfully no lorries are allowed down the road unless for access – they have to go down the high street. It is certainly very peaceful, I would go so far as to say it is generally silent!”“One of the prime reasons we chose to live in Caythorpe is that there is a great recreation field and our children were both sports fanatics. It is in a lovely, quintessentially English setting by the church and continues to be a very busy sports facility. We were actively involved in the cricket as a family. A social club at the recreation field is another huge asset where the Caythorpe Dash is an annual event, so too the Caythorpe Carnival, always extremely well attended. From a historical aspect, the village has connections to Operation Market Garden in 1944 during WWII as the regiment was stationed at Caythorpe. The rather spectacular Church of St. Vincent dating from the early 14th century, is another thriving centre of the community and has a special collection of eight bells from St. Mears of Whitechapel.”“The children enjoyed attending the secondary school in Welbourn which, very conveniently, has a school bus service running through the village. We are also surrounded by lovely Lincolnshire countryside with a multitude of footpaths providing long dog walks from the doorstep.”
