Location

The property offers the luxury of privacy on the edge of a much sought after village location without being isolated.

The delightful village of Denton sits in the Vale of Belvoir amongst beautiful undulating countryside close to Belvoir Castle and the Grantham Canal and Reservoir. It is noted for the golden hue of much of its architecture, an attribute of the local Jurassic ironstone, which is most notably evident in its 12th century church.

There is a thriving pub in Denton and a range of amenities are available in nearby villages; including Harlaxton (1.5 miles) where there is a shop/post office, public house, doctors’ surgery and a pharmacy, whilst a more comprehensive range of shopping, eating, and cultural opportunities can be found in the market towns of Grantham (3 miles), Newark (17 miles) and Stamford (24 miles), or in the City of Nottingham (25 miles). The Engine Yard, which is a renowned retail village at Belvoir Castle, is nearby and offers a range of individual shops and a restaurant.

For the commuter, nearby Grantham offers the East Coast high-speed mainline train services to London King’s Cross (65 minutes), the A1 is easily accessible (2 miles) and East Midlands Airport within easy reach (35 miles).

There is an excellent range of schools in the area including: Denton Primary School and two Grammar Schools; Kesteven and Grantham Girls School and The King’s Grammar School for boys in Grantham and Independent Schooling at Oakham School (22 miles) and Stamford Endowed Schools.
