Do you have children? Some of the villages have excellent schools attached and the prices go through the roof in these villages

Welton
Metheringham
Saxilby
Navenby

All of the above are quite big villages but they have everything you would need

Most people drive through Great Gonerby (on the old Great North Road) but actually it is a stunning village. Superb transport link (A1 and near Grantham ) great stone houses/cottages, a Michelin * restaurant, wonderful country walks and a nice gentle feel . We lived for a while at Foston as our old house was being worked on and it was noisy from A1, boring (not much there ) and lacked character so choose carefully.

Lincolnshire has so much to offer - its a good affordable choice

I've lived in Lincolnshire most of my life, as others say, Stamford really is the A* place to live, but prices reflect that. Bourne is close by to Stamford and very nice, followed by Market Deeping. We live in a village close to Spalding but wouldn't rec Spalding myself. Lincoln is a lovely place too... plenty to choose from.

But my top 2 are:
Stamford (pricey but gorgeous, vintage shops, stunning historic buildings, great eateries)

Bourne (Less money than Stamford but area still v good. good array of shops, Bourne woods for leisure, good schools, and links elsewhere)

Hi

We’ve lived in Grantham for the last 15 years. Not natives but have definitely come to think of it as home. If a village on the outskirts of one of the towns would suit then I would recommend Londonthorpe or Great Gonerby for Grantham. Navenby is lovely between Grantham and Lincoln. Long Bennington is a lovely village just off the A1, as is Claypole.
