Location
Honington is a charming village in the heart of Lincolnshire, around 5.5 miles north of Grantham. Notable features include St Wilfrid’s Church and the Honington Hill Fort.
The surrounding countryside offers fantastic opportunities for riding, fishing, walking and shooting. Local walking trails take in spectacular countryside views, heritage trails and quaint country lanes, including a circular walk around Hough-on-the-Hill and the Grantham Canal towpath route.
The nearby village of Barkston has a good primary school, a village hall, a pub and a petrol station with a convenience store. Just 5 minutes away by car, the busy town of Grantham offers direct trains to London King’s Cross (in around 70 minutes) and good road links north and south via the A1.
The surrounding area offers a wide variety of leisure and recreational amenities. Belton is renowned for its country house and park (now owned by the National Trust) as well as a four-star hotel, spa and golf resort. Ancaster (3 miles) is home to Lincolnshire’s largest outdoor activities centre – with karting, paintballing, archery, bowling, laser tag and more.
Schools
The nearby villages of Barkston (2 miles) and Ancaster both have popular primary schools (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted). Secondary school options are excellent, including grammar schools in Grantham (Kesteven and Grantham Girls’ School and The King’s School) and Sleaford (Kesteven and Sleaford High School and Carre’s Grammar School). Other popular secondary schools include The Priory Ruskin Academy (rated ‘Outstanding’) and Walton Academy in Grantham (rated ‘Good’).
For private education, the Grantham Prep International School and Minster Schools (Prep and Senior) in Lincoln are highly regarded.
Seller Insights
“We’ve lived here for nine years. We’d admired the property for many years before we had the opportunity to buy the property from a family friend. It was our dream home, so we jumped at the chance to buy it, and we’ve thoroughly enjoyed living in this beautiful setting. It’s been a difficult decision to sell, and we will take with us many memories of our time here.”
“The house and grounds are all ready for a buyer to just move in and enjoy the surroundings. We’ve made lots of improvements and enhancements while we’ve been living here, such as fitting natural stone flooring in the main living areas and re-roofing the stable block.”
“The views from the decked veranda are fabulous. The decked area is partially covered over, which means you can enjoy the stunning countryside views across the fields even on a rainy day. I shall always remember the amazing sunsets and incredible light shows during a storm.”
“Stone Acre is well-equipped for equestrian use, with secure stables, a paddock and outbuildings. However, it could also easily be converted into separate accommodation for family members or overnight guests. Planning permission has already been granted for this conversion. Having recently added new roofing, converting the stables to living accommodation would be fairly straightforward.”
“The garden is home to a very unusual evergreen Oak tree as well as a magnolia tree, fruit trees and a Japanese maple. We’ve installed some raised beds which are ready for planting. The garden is also a haven for wildlife, such as hedgehogs, owls and birds.”
“The house, stables and paddock are extremely safe and secure areas for animals. The stables and outbuildings have been thoughtfully designed with plenty of storage space, a separate hay store and a washroom/WC at the back of the garage.”
“The living spaces in the bungalow offer flexible spaces for entertaining, including a light and airy living room and a separate games room that has double doors to the decked veranda area. We spend a lot of time in the games room, playing pool and enjoying the fantastic views.”
“Honington is a lovely village, with a close-knit community. We’re lucky to have great neighbours in the village and wonderful countryside on our doorstep. Equally, we’re only a few minutes away by car from larger villages such as Barkston and also Grantham. So, you’re living in this peaceful village but with easy access to shops and other amenities.”
