The Location

Located just six miles north of the highly sought after town of Stamford, Little Bytham offers a more affordable alternative without sacrificing charm or accessibility. This tranquil village is steeped in history, featuring the unique Church of Saints Medardus and Gildardus, notable for its Norman era tower base and rare dedication. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate The Spinney, a community developed nature reserve and picnic site established on former clay workings. While the village is close to essential amenities including a village shop and pubs in Castle Bytham, residents often venture to nearby Stamford, Bourne or Grantham for a broader range of services. Surrounded by picturesque countryside, Little Bytham presents an appealing blend of rural tranquillity and convenient proximity to urban centres.

This property is within walking distance of the highly regarded Bythams Primary School in Little Bytham. For secondary education, the village falls within the catchment area for Bourne Grammar School, known for its academic excellence. Additionally, the prestigious private boarding school, Witham Hall, is just a short drive away in Witham on the Hill, offering an exceptional education for those seeking private schooling. The proximity to such well regarded schools makes this an ideal location for families.
