Grantham House

Add to favourites

An urban oasis in the heart of Grantham with expansive lawns, walled garden and riverside meadow. Indoors you'll find a delightful café and well-stocked second-hand bookshop.

Grantham House hides in plain sight, offering a rural retreat set in a bustling market town. Stepping through the green wooden gates immediately transports you back to its original rural oasis - enjoy a mindful escape from the modern world, a chance to slow down, refresh the mind and let nature in.

The walled garden at Grantham House is a tranquil haven where you can escape the bustle of town, replacing the sound of traffic and bustling shoppers with the gentle hum of bees and the flapping of butterfly wings. This charming green space features neatly trimmed hedging and abundant borders, bursting with seasonal colour such as daffodils, irises, bluebells and apple blossom. The tree-lined path further encloses you from the stresses of urban life and offers fantastic opportunities for keen photographers to capture natural delights.

The wide expanse of the south meadow is bordered by the River Witham and its soothing sounds of flowing water. This space is well suited for family time together and you are welcome to play ball games in this area only.

Grantham House itself opens out onto wide lawns which can be savoured from outdoor café seating and will be host to community events such as fetes and yoga sessions.

A short woodland walk skirts the edge of the upper lawn and is a shaded refuge of wilder nature where you can be encased in sounds of birdsong and the feel of a forest just minutes from the town centre.
