Location

Wainfleet St. Mary is a village situated directly south of well-served Wainfleet All Saints on the A52, about 5 miles southwest of Skegness and 17 miles northeast of Boston. Wainfleet train station sits in between the two villages on the Nottingham to Skegness line with good connections including Grantham from where fast trains to London take around an hour. Within a short distance of the picturesque Lincolnshire Wolds, designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it is also close to the Lincolnshire coast including Gibraltar Point National Nature Reserve, just south of Skegness, a dynamic stretch of unspoilt coastline known for its impressive views and sheer scale and diversity of wildlife.

The historic market towns of Spilsby, Alford, Louth and Horncastle are not far away which provide excellent schools whilst the medieval cathedral city of Lincoln is 30 miles away from which network rail commuting to London is available, as from Grantham and Newark.

Schools

The Wainfleet Magdalen C of E Primary School is less than a mile away and is rated Good by Ofsted. For secondary education there are various choices, for instance, in Skegness (6 miles) there is the selective and sought after, Ofsted-rated Good, Skegness Grammar as well as Skegness Academy. In Spilsby (10 miles), there is Spilsby Grammar, founded in 1550, now called King Edward VI Academy, a co-educational, bi-lateral school rated Good by Ofsted, and in Horncastle (20 miles), the Banovallum School is rated Good and the co-educational Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School is rated Outstanding. In Alford (15 miles), another called Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar also has an excellent reputation and is rated Good by Ofsted. Boston (17 miles) also has a well-regarded Grammar School.

Seller Insights

“It has been a self-build house which we began a while ago but it has only recently been finished – the frame is timber and the amount of insulation inside is incredible! It’s in an extremely peaceful position down a private road that leads to only five houses, all with the river at the back of the garden and views over the countryside.”

“The room at the front with the TV was originally going to be a cinema room but we ended up just installing a really big TV screen; there is still an option to create this with the picture being projected onto the opposite wall. On the other side of the hall, the games room has our pool table in which is available under separate negotiation if someone would like it.”

“The garden is fully enclosed apart from where the steps descend to the river. We put up the trellis fencing to make it more secure for our dog but it could easily be removed if someone wanted to do that. The garden is barely overlooked and nicely sheltered by some trees. There’s an old one by the river we were going to cut down but then realised it’s used as a perch for two resident kingfishers so we left it there; we see them virtually every day. The bird life is amazing here with ducks, swans, great crested grebes, woodpeckers and, in winter, egrets and herons; there are lots of fish too such as pike and bream.”

“We have mooring rights so keep a kayak on the river. It’s called the Steeping River and you could take a little row downstream and enjoy a pint at Bateman’s Brewery where there’s a visitors’ centre if you wanted to. It continues on to flow out into the sea at Gibraltar’s Point which has a nature reserve where you can sometimes see seals. There are some lovely countryside walks round here, either from the doorstep along the river, or along the coast or into the Wolds.”

“Although Wainfleet St. Mary only has a couple of churches and the brewery, Wainfleet All Saints just across the river has lots of shops and services. There’s a school, a Co-op, a post office, a butcher’s, a pet shop, a hairdresser’s, a barber’s, a quality fish and chip shop, some take-aways and pubs serving food. It’s also very convenient having a train station so close as well as public buses less than a ten minute walk from the house.”

“All the neighbours are absolutely lovely - the ones opposite and the ones in the other houses along the private road – we will miss them!”
