Location

Car Colston is without a doubt one of the finest villages in the County, being a prime example of rural English life where cricket is still played on the village green and when stumps are drawn players and spectators walk across to the village pub for well earned refreshment. The village is protected by a Conservation Area Designation and has virtually seen no new development over the last 50 years. Car Colston is surrounded by unspoilt rolling countryside and is situated on the edge of the Vale of Belvoir.

Car Colston village is built around ancient common land of 27 acres which dates back to 1300 and is the largest village grazing common in the country. The common is privately owned by 17 properties in the village, of which The Green is one, each of which has a common right to use the land, the grazing and “beasts” and until quite recently horses and ponies have been grazed on the large common. Today a local farmer grazes the land with his cows and calves which are born on the common each year. The land is managed by a committee of Common Right Holders whose role is to ensure that this very precious and rare environment is protected and maintained correctly to enhance the beauty of Car Colston village.

The surrounding market towns of Bingham and Newark offer an extensive range of amenities and professional services and there is direct access into the main regional centres of Nottingham, Leicester and Lincoln, with a direct rail service into London Kings Cross from Grantham North Gate Station, in a scheduled journey time of approximately 75 – 80 minutes.
