Grantham is a historic and pretty Lincolnshire market town located centrally in the UK. It offers beautiful family homes on attractive developments on the fringe of the town and an abundance of idyllic surrounding villages with with the surrounding open countryside providing the perfect backdrop. In recent years, thanks to the high speed train connecting our town to Kings Cross in just over an hour, Grantham has increasingly appealed to people moving out of London, who come because of the improved quality of life, better value for money and excellent schools. Grantham also has excellent links into Lincolnshire and further afield to London via the A1 Great North Road and many rail routes making it an ideal relocation solution.
