A beautifully presented, period property, a lovely blend of the old and the new with a fabulous rear extension onto its walled, sunny garden, sits in a much sought after village in a convenient central location in the attractive Vale of Belvoir. The four bedroom home adjoins its neighbours to the left and right to the rear of the property and is set over three floors with an appealing open plan feel downstairs making it perfect for modern living.
A wide choice of excellent schools in the area will undoubtedly be a draw for a family whilst its close proximity to Grantham (5 miles) and Newark (10 miles), and easy access to both the A1 and A52, make this an ideal location for a commuter to lead a rural village lifestyle.

Location
Not far from the borders of Nottinghamshire, in the Vale of Belvoir, the village of Allington is located within a tranquil, rural landscape about 5 miles northwest of Grantham and 10 miles south of Newark and has exceptionally good access to the A1 and the A52, each only about a 5 minute drive.
Allington has a popular country pub/restaurant, The Welby Arms, a playing field with an all-weather football pitch, and a thriving village hall hosting a post office and a wide range of community activities. There is also a little church, The Holy Trinity, open for worship. Allington Manor, which The Dower House would have originally served, is a beautiful, medieval manor house now a venue for weddings, conferences and private dining. A comprehensive range of shopping, eating, and cultural facilities can be found in the nearby market towns of Grantham and Newark with its Georgian cobbled marketplace and castle on the River Trent.
The village offers a lovely choice of footpaths and bridleways and is home to Arena UK where British show jumping and dressage championships take place throughout the year. Nearby Belton House (6 miles), a Georgian country mansion and estate, is open to the public courtesy of the National Trust. Regular fast train services to London King’s Cross or Leeds (both taking around an hour) are available from Grantham. Nottingham is about 20 miles west, approximately 30 minutes by car.
Schools
Allington & Sedgebrook Primary School is in the village and rated Good by Ofsted, and there are excellent grammar schools in Grantham - The King’s School (for boys) and Kesteven and Grantham Girls’ School which are rated Outstanding by Ofsted with other popular secondary schools, Greenfields Academy and Walton Academy both rated Good by Ofsted. A range of independent schooling is available in Newark (10 miles), Stamford (27 miles), or Lincoln (28 miles).
Seller Insights
“This has been a wonderful family home for us over the past eleven years. The location is superb as it’s only just over an hour’s commute into London yet it provides a quiet village lifestyle and is so easy to escape into the surrounding countryside and enjoy the beautiful Vale of Belvoir. For a family, there is an excellent primary school in the village within walking distance. The school bus route to Grantham, Bottesford and Newark passes through the village.”
“We have remodelled the most part of the house with a single-storey extension with Velux windows and French doors onto the garden which has made it especially lovely in summer. We installed a new bespoke kitchen and had Karndean LVT flooring fitted throughout the downstairs with floating floor filled with insulation. New top quality carpets have been fitted to the stairs, landing and bedrooms with Karndean in the bathrooms. The newly fitted en suite was originally a dressing room and the family bathroom has been completely refurbished; both have large, walk-in showers.”
“The whole of the exterior of the property has been newly painted and the landscaped garden has a new limestone patio. The garden captures the sun all day and is very peaceful, completely private and totally enclosed with a wall down one side where a timber gate opens on to the road.”
“Allington is an exceptionally friendly village. There is always something going on here whether it be a fair, a fete or a little music festival. Everything is within walking distance – the school, the pub, the playing fields, the children’s play park - or venture further into the Vale of Belvoir for plenty more nice pubs, restaurants and country walks.”
