Situation:
The Stables at Castle Farm is located to the northern edge of the ever-popular village of Castle Bytham which is a delightful South Lincolnshire conservation village blessed with many old stone properties. Over the years the village has expanded with some sympathetic modern housing creating a vibrant community with a population of approximately 800. One of the central features of the village is the Old Castle Mound, a former Norman Castle, though in the Domesday survey of 1086 the village was known as West Bytham as the castle had yet to be built.
There are a number of local amenities within the village to include two well established Public Houses; St. James’ Church believed to date back to Norman times; the Bythams Community Shop; a useful Doctors Surgery and a mobile post-office and Bus Service further connecting this quiet village to the surrounding villages and towns.
The market towns of Stamford, Oakham and Bourne are all within a convenient distance and provide a broader range of shopping opportunities and amenities whilst the Cathedral city of Peterborough and the town of Grantham, offer yet more interest and opportunity.
Castle Bytham sits in picturesque rolling countryside yet is minutes from the region’s arterial road network. The A1 is 4 miles to the west and allows the commuter very easy access north to Grantham, some 15 miles away and south, to Peterborough, some 25 miles. Both Grantham and Peterborough have main line railway stations with frequent fast trains providing options north and south. There are local train services also afforded from Stamford and Oakham.
Leisure facilities in the area are numerous and include popular golf courses such as Stoke Rochford, Greetham Valley, Luffenham Heath and Toft, whereas nearby Rutland Water caters for cycling, fishing and water sports. The surrounding countryside has numerous footpaths and bridleways providing ample opportunity for the walking enthusiast.
The Stables at Castle Farm is well placed for convenient access to both private and state schooling, with the well-regarded Witham Hall Prep School but four miles east. Schools located in Bourne, Stamford, Oakham, Grantham, Uppingham and Oundle are all under approximately 30 miles driving distance.
