Property description
A superb individual home offering high quality and flexible accommodation suited to the needs of extended families and standing in grounds of 7.66 acres with wonderful open views to the south and east.
Situation and Description
The Old Farm House is situated in an enviable rural position with beautiful southerly views over open countryside to the Lincolnshire Cliff yet only a few minutes from Grantham with its range of amenities and main line Station giving a popular and easy commute to London Kings Cross. The property has been recently constructed to incorporate the original farm house, which has been renovated to a similar high standard, and the result is a superb beautifully presented individual home combining traditional materials with fixtures and fittings of a high modern standard. Although a single property the house easily divides to provide excellent self-contained accommodation ideal for the needs of an extended family. In addition there is a first floor suite of rooms currently ideal for business purposes but designed to become a separate apartment if required - perhaps for use by teenagers or guests. The stables and level field are ideal for equestrian use and there is sufficient space to further develop these facilities by the construction of an outdoor school if required and subject to obtaining any necessary planning consents. We understand that up to 30 acres of further land in separate ownership may be available if required and subject to separate negotiation. It would be difficult to overstress the overall quality, appeal, and flexibility the Old Farm House offers.The village of Marston is situated approximately 6 miles to the north of Grantham and 12 miles south of Newark with Nottingham some 28 miles to the west and Lincoln 21 miles to the north- west. The Old Farm House is situated approximately 1.5 miles to the south of the village and a similar distance to the A1 which provides rapid access to both Grantham and Newark with their associated amenities. Both towns have a range of national retailers/supermarkets and there is Waitrose store at Newark. In addition the Downtown store and garden centre is nearby at Gonerby Moor and the Arena UK equestrian centre at Allington is only a few minutes away.Trains to London Kings Cross from Grantham with a journey time from around 70 minutes and there is a useful cross-country line into Nottingham. There are a range of popular local primary schools and opportunities for secondary education include the popular boys and girls grammar schools at Grantham.
