SITUATION
Humby is a small attractive village set amongst delightful rolling countryside providing many country walking, cycling and riding opportunities on quiet country lanes and bridlepaths.
Individual properties radiate from the village green which overlooks an ancient ford of the River Glen. The village has a strong community ethos enjoyed by its varied population which is increasingly family orientated.
Facilities are to be found in the nearby adjacent village of Ropsley which include the well-known Green Man public house which is a walkable distance.
Also to be found in Ropsley is its historic church and very popular village school which includes Humby in its catchment area. A wide range of community activities take place in and around its modern village hall and playing fields where there is a strong sporting agenda particularly for youth football and cricket.
Humby is fifteen minutes from Grantham with its wide range of shops and supermarkets as well as the mainline station serving all parts of the country including high speed rail to London in just over an hour. The nearby A1 also provides fast travel routes. Stamford is located to the south whilst Lincoln, Nottingham and Peterborough are all easily accessible.
Recreational, Arts and sporting opportunities abound in the area as well as historic houses such as Belton House, Belvoir and Grimsthorpe castles. Two Golf courses can be found just outside Grantham and also at nearby Stoke Rochford whilst Rutland Water provides sailing and other water-based activities.
There is an excellent range of Secondary and Independent Schools in the area including Independent, Grammar and Comprehensive schools in Grantham and the Stamford Endowed Schools. Buses to all these schools operate from Humby village green. The village also offers fast broadband connectivity and good mobile phone coverage.

The stunning exposed stone surround fireplace with herringbone detail provides a wonderful focal point to the room and a cosy atmosphere in the cooler months.
From the hall continuing through a half glass door is the magnificent dining room, the perfect space for entertaining and features views of the rear garden and the countryside beyond. This room could also be used as a snug or playroom.
The heart of the home lies in the country-style kitchen that features built in cabinetry and a range of integrated appliances. Exposed stone and timber details fill the room with warmth and character while French doors open to the delightful garden providing a perfect spot for outdoor entertaining or alfresco dining. Off the kitchen is a spacious walk-in pantry and separate well-appointed utility room, featuring built in cabinetry and a large linen closet with ample storage.

Bordered by a lavender hedge, steps down lead to the formal lawn which rolls down to an area of dappled shade under silver birch trees and features a wonderful wildlife pond.

The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
