Sought after Lincolnshire Cliff village of Leadenham
Excellent access to Grantham (around 11 miles south) with fast trains to London
Location
Leadenham is a very attractive, sought-after conservation village located along the southern edge of the beautiful and picturesque Lincolnshire Cliff, lying on the A607 just north of the A17. The village lies approximately 11 miles north of the market town of Grantham, 14 miles south of the city of Lincoln and about 9 miles equidistant between Sleaford to the southeast and Newark-on-Trent in Nottinghamshire to the northwest. Commuters are well served by Grantham’s high speed rail network to London King’s Cross (around one hour journey time), and the A1 can be picked up here for the South and at Newark for the North.
Despite a plethora of listed buildings in the village, Corner Cottage is, perhaps thankfully, not amongst them. The house, like so much of the village, was originally owned by Leadenham Estates; in fact the very attractive settlement with fine stone properties grew up around the stunning Georgian mansion, Leadenham House. The country house was built in 1790 for William Reeve surrounded by 3,000 acres of farmland and is now available as a wedding and events venue. Leadenham’s 13th century church is dedicated to St. Swithun, and the village post office and Leadenham Teahouse won a Rural Oscar with the Countryside Alliance awards a few years ago for the Best Post Office and Village Shop in the East of England. There is also a village hall, a Spar convenience store and a farm shop, a tennis club, a hockey club, as well as being home to Leadenham Polo Club.
Slightly further afield, just north of Grantham in Belton, The National Trust’s Belton House has gardens, parkland and an adventure playground whilst Belton Woods 4- star Hotel and Spa has two golf courses.
