*A Charming Farmhouse with 2.5 Acres of Private Grounds*
Nestled in approximately 2.5 acres (subject to survey) of beautiful paddock land and well-tended gardens, this distinguished 1890s farmhouse, once part of the historic Welby Estate, is a rare find. The initials of James Earl Welby ('J E W') are still visible above the entrance, offering a touch of heritage. Ideally located near the A1 Great North Road, this property combines rural tranquillity with excellent road links, offering easy access to major routes. The house is being sold with no onward chain - There is huge potential to run a business from home, take a look to see!
Lovingly restored and maintained, the property boasts modern upgrades such as new windows, solar panels, and a wood-pellet biomass boiler, enhancing both its comfort and energy efficiency. Inside, the layout is generous and thoughtfully designed. The Entrance Hall leads to a cosy Sitting Room and a spacious L-shaped Living Room with a wood burner. A formal Dining Room, also featuring a wood-burning stove, is perfect for family gatherings. The bespoke Breakfast Kitchen, equipped with underfloor heating and a Range cooker, combines rustic charm with modern convenience. Additional ground-floor amenities include a Utility Room, Cloakroom, and a Conservatory/Boot Room accessible from the rear porch.

Externally, the property features electric gates that open to a spacious parking area for multiple vehicles. The expansive grounds include a variety of outbuildings, fenced paddocks, a wildlife pond, and a south-facing vegetable and fruit garden. Mature trees, a raised patio, and a greenhouse offer plenty of outdoor space for relaxing or gardening.
Located on Great North Road between the villages of Allington and Foston, just five miles from Grantham, the property enjoys the best of country living with easy access to local amenities. Nearby Long Bennington offers a range of conveniences including shops, a café, a well-regarded primary school, pharmacy and a highly-rated doctors' surgery.

We wanted to tell you our vendor’s comments on this home: "We have loved living here for the past 21 years. However now it’s time to downsize and move closer to our family. We hope the new owners will enjoy making this wonderful house their home as we did 21 years ago."
